Paramount Skydance is poised to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery for approximately $111 billion in what would be the largest media deal in history, backed by $24 billion from Saudi Arabia's PIF, Qatar's QIA, and Abu Dhabi's ADIA — an unprecedented concentration of Gulf sovereign capital in American media. The deal, which would create a company carrying roughly $79 billion in debt and controlling CNN, HBO, CBS News, and one of Hollywood's deepest content libraries, faces mounting scrutiny over national security concerns, editorial independence, financial viability, and projected mass layoffs exceeding 50,000 affected workers.
