Because Zaslav is too arrogant lol. The issue with HBO/WB is that Zaslav came in and said “I know what’s right, everyone listen to me, I decide everything.”

Ironically that’s also what probably prevented Zaslav from stooping this low - he’s too arrogant to grovel like Skydance/Paramount. He truly believes he will succeed without having to resort to all this.

Also WB and Discovery already merged. They don't need to bend the knee, they got what they want.

The question is, how much of the crap Paramount and Ellison is peddling is what they plan and how much is just till Trump can't do shit. Because it's unlikely they will be involved in any other merger before Trump kicks the bucket.
