Did you watch Picard? Longtime Star Trek fans hated it.
No, I avoid silly arse fantasy schitt like the plague. I did watch Landman and Yellowstone, and neither were DEI. Friends watched 1883 and 1923 and told me neither of them were either. Thus, the question.

You are telling me that making Stacey Abrams President of earth in your most popular asset/series ever doesn't resonate with your predominantly white audience?
And she can’t act.

Seems like they haven’t made anything newish, besides the Yellowstone stuff, that’s had any lasting popularity.

They never learn. I don't know how Disney and Paramount shareholders haven't revolted against current leadership allowing their cash cow franchises to keep producing disappointing returns because the producers keep sticking in social and political messaging that turns off a big chunk of the fan base.

Taylor Sheridan’s shows are all great
Until he gets involved on a new one and take his attention off of current shows. Then it's slower rollouts and progressively worse seasons.
And then there's ending a show. Yeah...he's not good at that.

1883 was a straight up a chick-power show really. She got to do things that would have had her strung up in actual 1883.
It was a good show though...not quite in your face with it.

Paramount recently sold to new ownership and are about to buy Warner Brothers. This is normal business operations. Not everything has to be political.

Actors and writers and all the production people, directors, camera guys, boom mic guys, etc. They're all about to be on the breadlines.
The good news though: I'm sure the estates of Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman are ready to sign up their likenesses for AI replication in Casablanca 2.

Oh, it's completely political. I'm happy as a pig in shite about it but it's political as it can be. You realize that WB includes CNN, right? CBS News and CNN in the hands of the more or less good guys.

Paramount has MTv, Nickelodeon, Comedy Central, and CBS.
They completely ran MTv into the ground and it’s now ending entirely.
Nickelodeon is no longer culturally relevant with gen alpha as zoomers increasingly embraced anime over western kids programming. Nick has huge scandals under its name and few relevant IP’s outside of TMNT (which has floundered hard at the box office), Transformers (also flopped hard despite rave reviews for Transformers One), and Spongebob (which is seen as a legacy franchise at this point). I think their expensive NFL Slimecasts are a great idea long term for the brand and spirt, but the company is hemorrhaging money now.
Comedy Central no longer makes stand up specials nor subversive comedy series. The roasts now belong to Netflix. No more “Comedy Central Presents”. No more award winning series like Detroiters, Chappelle’s Show, Key & Peele, Workaholics, etc. All they have left is “The Daily Show” (after paying Jon Stewart to come back from retirement one day per week) and “South Park” (after throwing money at them and buying out their contract with MAX).
What does CBS have besides formulaic police procedurals? Star Trek has been floundering for decades. CBS has made bad move after bad move with late night and lost hundreds of millions doing so.
Taylor Sheridan has injected some interest into paramount, but his shows consistently fail to stick the landing.
While Paramount as a movie studio has had several big successes lately with Sonic and Top Gun, it can’t cover the losses in TV.
