Federal regulators on Thursday approved Paramount's $8 billion merger with Skydance, clearing the way to close a deal that combined Hollywood glitz with political intrigue.

Critics of the settlement lambasted it as a veiled a bribe to appease Trump, amid rising alarm over editorial independence overall.
