Expect CBS News to undergo a major overhaul under Skydance boss David Ellison

Too bad it’s not 10 years ago.

The names Edward R. Murrow, Mike Wallace and Walter Cronkite — the people who built CBS News into the paragon of TV journalism — might come up in casual conversations among old-timers like yours truly, reminiscing about how network news once controlled the ­political and social agenda.

Or maybe they would surface in a journalism class after CBS’s current management last week settled a weird lawsuit, filed by President Trump, in order to keep in the good graces of the White House and get the Skydance-Paramount merger through his FCC regulators.
