Kushner is part of Paramount's saudi group that wanted it, so for sure the administration is going to try and block it.

no, netflix and wb board agreed to the offer around $73billion (cash and stocks) and that is subject to regulatory approval. team Paramount offered the shareholders straight cash of $30 per share, $108billion in a hostile bid.

Even if the US Governnent operated objectively, Netflix + HBO would be a market % more than regulators are usually okay with.
Netflix has already made the argument their rivals are not Hulu or Amazon Prime, but rather Youtube, which is both true and likely to be disregarded by the regulators.

Given the cronyism going on, they would have just rejected the Netflix deal for reasons and then had no issues with the Ellison/Kushner bid

Premise makes no sense. Any conservative group would know this is a man regardless of if he chopped his dick off or not, and would be A-OK letting it go into the mines. Now if they had a policy of not allowing people with mental illness into the mines, that makes a bit more sense. Just shows the pretzel logic these writers come up with.

supposedly based on a true story
the real Carlita Rodríguez
what i gather, 2011 got a job at the mine in Patagonia, Argentina, id still listed as a man, but identified as woman, worked at the mine till 2012, they passed a law on gender rights and changed id to woman and then they didn't want them working in the mine.

The Paramount bid is for CNN, Discovery and the cable channels, whereas Netflix is just for the studio and hbo
Netflix didn’t even make it. They got the US distribution rights for probably a nickel

Knives Out 3 released on Netflix proper after it's limited two week theater run. Better than #2 in execution but still below #1 level. Felt like RJ wanted to focus on the collective story rather than go deep into specific characters/suspects.

Yeah, Netflix getting it would have been a disaster on so many fronts. But the amount of debt Warner Bros and HBO will have to absorb is going to crush them for years.
Hope it all works out but the golden age of good content might be behind us with all of these mergers turning every creative into a slave to layers of accountants. AI taking over doesn't help.

Because Elison owns CBS, Tiktok, and now CNN (doing to guess the current admin finds no monopoly concerns at all). Given what happened with CBS and Tiktok, not hard to imagine CNN turning into Fox News 2.0
