Netflix Escapes a Sticky Wicket

Netflix, that most dashing of streaming purveyors, has rather gracefully withdrawn from the bidding for Warner Bros. Discovery. A bit of a scramble, what? Paramount Skydance, with a boldness that would make a bookmaker blush, upped the ante, and Netflix, with a commendable display of fiscal restraint, decided the price was a trifle too robust for its liking. Both sides, in a most agreeable turn of events, enjoyed a rather spirited rally on Friday. A cheerful outcome, all around.
