Paramount's CEO is Gone

During a recent earnings call, Paramount trolled investors and analysts by refusing to answer questions and instead playing the Mission Impossible theme song on loop. With Paramount CEO Bob Bakish and the company having an uncertain future, where do we go from here?

​@ChriS_bb51 A father is the male parent of a child. Besides the paternal bonds of a father to his children, the father may have a parental, legal, and social relationship with the child that carries with it certain rights and obligations. A biological father is the male genetic contributor to the creation of the infant, through sexual intercourse or sperm donation. A biological father may have legal obligations to a child not raised by him, such as an obligation of monetary support. An adoptive father is a man who has become the child's parent through the legal process of adoption. A putative father is a man whose biological relationship to a child is alleged but has not been established. A stepfather is a non-biological male parent married to a child's preexisting parent, and may form a family unit but generally does not have the legal rights and responsibilities of a parent in relation to the child.
