Guess who chooses the members of the editorial board? *The Ellisons*. As Stoller writes, "it’s downright comical [that] they demanded that David Ellison not corrupt CNN by having David Ellison appoint a board ensuring that David Ellison not do that."
But you can ignore *everything* you've just read, because the settlement includes a clause that says they *don't have to do any of the things it says they have to do*.

This is the "force majeure" clause, which is not like a normal force majeure clause (which allows the parties to back out of their commitment in case of war, wildfires, etc). *This* force majeure clause lets Warnermount tear up the entire agreement if there's a *strike* or a *recession*. So: if (*when*) the Hollywood unions go on strike over this betrayal (which they *absolutely should do*), the agreement becomes null. 10/
