According to reports from The Wall Street Journal, Paramount Global (PARA) executives are considering the potential ouster of current CEO Bob Bakish. The report adds that Paramount Global Chairman Shari Redstone has lost confidence in Bakish.
Vanity Fair Special Correspondent Brian Stelter joins The Morning Brief to give insight into the reports of the C-suite shake-up at Paramount and what it could mean for the company and its shareholders moving forward.
