Back in 2016, Viacom is in a power struggle between Philippe Duman and the Redstones especially Sherri Redstone who had entered the picture after seeing the mess in her company. Basically Phillpe wanted to control the entire company where the Redstones wanted to kick him out. Sumner Redstone was also furious that Philippe attempts to sell majority of Paramount to some Chinese investor. So much so that he and Sherri force Philippe to be out of the CEO chair, which Philippe did.

After Philippe came out of the picture, Sherri wants to get CBS back and tried to remerge with CBS Corporation but this process was a bumpy ride.all because of this man: Leslie Moonves. Leslie ironically do want to agree on this merger but in the condition that he will control all of the Viacom Media Networks and Paramount Pictures in addition to his CBS proprieties...while Sherri wanted Bob Baskish - who came out of it’s International Media Networks division and promoted as current CEO after Philippe was forced out - to be in control of the merged company, which didn’t suit well wile Leslie and so Leslie Moonves want to keep CBS Corporation as independent entity as possible while Sherri tries force him to be convinced otherwise as much as possible. So much so that Leslie filed a lawsuit against Sherri and Viacom and even try to block her. This is like the battle of control for The Eye, I mean CBS.

The battle comes to an end, Lesslie’s rein at CBS came to an abrupt end when he was involved with the #MeToo scandal. This make Sherri to breathe some fresh air as CBS Corporation was left with several CBS executive who, unlike Moonves, agree to a merger that would see Bob Baskish being the CEO of the merged company.

As of right now, this stage is already set for CBS and Viacom to finally re-merge into one company. But time will tell.

What's up with Chris Cuomo lately? Well Chris Cuomo got into a fight with a man who called him a slur, at least that’s what Cuomo believes. (These are the snapshots; I won’t embedded the tweet into post because of objectionable language in that video.)

Though from what I heard from that video, the aforementioned man - who wears a gray shirt with the glasses and with the glasses for the rest of the video - apparently wasn’t seem to attacking that news guy with the baseball cap (from what I think) and thought...well...

Okay let me explain: the man didn’t actually know who this guy with the baseball cap’s real name and only know him through The Rush Limbaugh Show because Rush often called him that word and so the aforementioned man with the glasses called that said guy with the baseball cap a...that word. And Cuomo - which turned out to be that said guy with the baseball cap -  losses it and threatened the man with violence because that word (who I don’t want to reveal because Google) was a racial slur to Italians and says that it was used in “The Godfather” (though some opponents online - including President Trump and Donald Trump Jr. - thought that the definition of word was “being dumb”).

It seems that the man (seen left) is kinda from the consertive side as he listens to Rush Limbaugh and never watches "Cuomo Prime Time", though he says, in that same video to Cuomo, that Cuomo has been a respectful news guy (despite the man's calm tone, Cuomo didn't take notice and continues his anger and added that the man's playing with him in which the man says he wasn't playing to Cuomo) so it's a bit confusing to me.

Despite the language that was caught in that video and some criticism he received, some supported Chris Cuomo including CNN spokesman Matt Dornic and even Sean Hanity whose Fox News Channel show competes with Cuomo’s CNN show “Cuomo Prime Time”.
