Is Ellison hoping that CNN, like Fox News, would have to staff t-doubles to limit their liabilities when sexually-harassed likenesses realize they can sue too?

Warner Bros, HBO, and CNN should not sell to Ellison (who very specifically funded and appeases the Trump kleptocracy).
I would guess:
- Christiane Amanpour
- Erin Burnett
- John Oliver (HBO is under WBD too)
- Abby Phillip
- Brianna Keilar
- Fareed Zakaria
But not:
- (others not as liberal or are sufficiently pro-Israel)
- Bill Maher (HBO; already kissed the ring)
