The Center for American Rights, a right-leaning advocacy organization, has filed a formal petition with the FCC to scrutinize the $8 billion Paramount-Skydance deal.
The group argues the merger could lead to 'concerning levels of media consolidation' and potentially influence the 'artistic integrity and political neutrality' of future Paramount and Skydance productions.
