The author, Todd Spangler, makes several assertions in the article that are not fallacious. He accurately reports on the failed merger talks between Skydance and Paramount Global and quotes David Ellison's memo to his staff. The author also provides context about Skydance's history with Paramount and their ongoing partnership.
