Below is the article I referred to and as you can see it was lengthy and messy in its reporting and it went on ad nauseam.

Like many on this forum I read quite a bit as it takes up much of my day. So what I copied is what I read and focused on but further down the article article breaks down the actual deal in more detail. Clearly the usual and common reader mistake when scanning an article. WSJ article was short and to the point and that's when i caught my mistake.

we have among us a poster or two whom by appearance seem to exist only to fixate on a Rubicon watch Should I be flattered that a poster or two thinks me worth that sort of attention? I think not

Here is the article

After a lengthy courtship, Mickey Mouse may be just days away from sealing the deal with the Murdochs.

Bloomberg reports that Walt Disney Co. will likely announce their acquisition of 21st Century Fox Inc's movie and TV studios later this week, with Variety later reporting it would happen on Thursday.

The deal would value Fox and its debt at around $60bn.

Disney would acquire 'networks including FX and National Geographic, and international assets including Star India’s TV channels and a 39 per cent stake in European satellite provider Sky Plc' in the deal.

The company would also double its ownership of Hulu to 60 per cent after obtaining Fox's stake and take control of the movie studio.

The deal is said to appeal to 21st Century Fox as they look to streamline their operation and focus on selected television properties including Fox News, Fox Sports and all local news affiliates in addition to their broadcast network.
