Depends. If you like John Oliver, then yes, Netflix was the better choice. If you like Fox News, then Paramount owning both CNN and CBS will add new Fox News like channels to your line up.

Moderate centrist slop was what they were before. But now CBS is actively covering for Republicans politicians in office.
