This is not a done deal, Netflix has the top offer currently, but the other players are still around and the government might not allow this. All of this is in the quoted article and I’ve been reading it elsewhere as well.

Paramount was considering also buying CNN which Discovery wants to get rid of. They also were the leading buyer just a week ago or so.

What makes Sarandos evil? I’ve not heard this before. We’re very please the second largest Netflix studio in under construction in my county on what use to be Fort Monmouth.
