华盛顿7月14日电（路透社）——众议院司法委员会最高民主党议员周二询问派拉蒙首席执行官戴维·埃利森，他本人或公司是否在施压CBS新闻播出总统唐纳德·特朗普要求的内容。
众议员杰米·拉斯金如果民主党在11月赢得众议院控制权，将于明年接任委员会主席，他在给埃利森的信中写道：“你的公司似乎在与特朗普政府勾结，削弱媒体独立性，推行政治和意识形态审查，压制异见。”

这封信提及了对CBS编辑独立性的担忧，此前《60分钟》记者斯科特·佩利被解雇，信中还指控CBS总编辑巴里·魏斯曾要求他让反移民海关执法局的抗议者“看起来更具暴力倾向”。
拉斯金与众议员弗兰克·帕隆诺于5月询问埃利森，他本人或公司是否提出修改CNN对特朗普的报道，以换取对1100亿美元收购华纳兄弟探索公司交易的批准。
派拉蒙拒绝置评。CBS未立即回应置评请求。
拉斯金在信中写道：“很明显，你一直在CBS为特朗普效力，如果这笔收购获得批准，巴里·魏斯也将在CNN发挥同样作用。”
周一，加利福尼亚州和另外11个州提起诉讼，阻止派拉蒙收购华纳兄弟探索公司。
去年11月，拉斯金和帕隆诺表示，派拉蒙在“阻挠国会监督”，此前他们要求获取与联邦通信委员会批准天空传媒以84亿美元收购CBS新闻母公司相关的文件。
特朗普一直在积极推动联邦通信委员会针对他认为报道不公的媒体公司的节目或新闻内容采取行动。
这笔交易获批前不久，派拉蒙去年支付1600万美元，了结了特朗普针对CBS的诉讼。该诉讼起因是CBS编辑了2024年特朗普的民主党对手、前副总统卡玛拉·哈里斯接受《60分钟》采访的片段。
天空传媒还同意确保CBS新闻和娱乐节目不存在偏见，聘请一名监察员至少两年以审查投诉，并终止多元化项目。

WASHINGTON, July 14 (Reuters) – The top Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee on Tuesday asked Paramount CEO David Ellison if he or the company were pressuring CBS News to air content sought by President Donald Trump.
Representative Jamie Raskin, who would take over as committee chair next year if Democrats win control of the House in November, said in a letter to Ellison: “Your company appears to be colluding with the Trump Administration to curtail media independence, promote political and ideological censorship, and stifle dissent.”

The letter cited concerns regarding CBS’s editorial independence after 60 Minutes journalist Scott Pelley was fired and alleged that CBS editor in chief Bari Weiss asked him to make anti-ICE protesters “look more violent.”
Raskin and Representative Frank Pallone in May asked Ellison if he or the company offered to make changes to CNN’s coverage of Trump in exchange for approval of a $110 billion acquisition of Warner Bros Discovery.
Paramount declined to comment. CBS did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
“It is plain to see that you have been delivering for
President Trump at CBS and that Bari Weiss is poised to deliver at CNN, if the acquisition is approved,” Raskin wrote.
On Monday, California and 11 states sued to block Paramount’s acquisition of Warner Bros Discovery.
In November, Raskin and Pallone said Paramount was “stonewalling congressional oversight” after they sought documents tied to the Federal Communications Commission’s approval of Skydance’s $8.4 billion merger with the CBS News-parent company.
Trump has aggressively pushed the Federal Communications Commission to go after media companies over programs or news content he deems unfair.
Shortly before the deal was approved, Paramount last year paid $16 million to settle Trump’s lawsuit against CBS over its editing of a “60 Minutes” interview with former Vice President Kamala Harris, Trump’s Democratic opponent in 2024.
Skydance also agreed to ensure CBS News and entertainment programming would be free of bias, hire an ombudsman for at least two years to review complaints, and end diversity programs.
