LIBERAL CNN NOW OWNED BY RIGHT WINGER

Paramount emerged as the victor in the months-long battle for Warner Bros Discovery after Netflix backed out of the bidding war on Thursday, leaving Paramount poised to acquire Warner’s vast media empire, including CNN.

Netflix said it has “declined to raise its offer for Warner Bros.” after the Warner Bros. Discovery board determined that Paramount has submitted a “superior” offer for the media giant.

“The deal is no longer financially attractive, so we are declining to match the Paramount Skydance bid,” the streamer said, suddenly ending the corporate tug-of-war.

With that announcement, Paramount suddenly moved much closer to taking over CNN, HBO, and the rest of the assets owned by Warner Bros. Discovery, or WBD for short.

KEEPING YOUR YAM WITH THE NNPC GOAT... Waziri Adio on PIA and President Tinubu Executive Order 9


President Bola Tinubu deserves all the accolades he is getting for starting the process of curing some of the defects of the Petroleum Industry Act (PIA) of 2021. The omnibus petroleum law remains a landmark piece of legislation and a major legacy of the President Muhammadu Buhari administration. But the PIA has gaps which should not be unexpected for a law that took more than 20 years to get over the line and for a bulky legislation with 319 sections and eight schedules. However, some of these gaps are too significant to be glossed over. The president has earned his stripes for having the stomach to go ahead with the corrective measures outlined in the executive order unveiled last week. He should stay the course and even go farther.

It is a miracle that some of the defects of the PIA were allowed to stand for this long: they are at odds with the constitution, the highest law of the land, and they unduly favour the national oil company, NNPC Limited, at the expense of its owner, the Federation. Pre-PIA, the relationship between the Federation and its oil corporation was bedevilled by a pronounced principal-agent problem. The agent could easily be mistaken for the principal. For all its strengths, the PIA did little to address this problem. Rather, the law further complicated the challenge by handing massive material advantage to the agent. Post-PIA, the agent effectively upstaged the principal.
