Let’s keep destroying disney and other woke companies, folks.
LOL…that’s a smart observation, Liz.
Craaaaaaaazy eyes.
Here's Sundays lineup: 7 pm: 130 North Street (a comedy about a white family who homeschools), 7:30 pm Jason & Ann (a young Christian couple just got married), 8 pm: Senator Miller (a young newly elected Conservative senator who's upsetting DC), 9pm The Chief (Drama about a newly appointed chief of a small city PD), 10 pm: Lincoln Memorial (a medical show about conservative doctors).
Like my lineup? I know not very realistic. 🤓
From which she doubtless got fabulously wealthy for doing .... nothing, a job any idiot could perform.
Iger, like the POTATUS, is not the problem.
The people who control the board are the problem.
"She has been dedicated to ensuring every person sees themselves and their life experiences represented in a meaningful and authentic way."
"I know you all join me in thanking Latondra for her many contributions, including the lasting impact she has had on our employees and our culture."

Watta shock when Latondra proved her greatest talent was losing the company lots and lots of money.
Bob Iger moves to calm Disney staff
after sparking ‘high anxiety’ over
potential sale of TV assets

Bob Iger is seeking to reassure an anxious arm of Disney’s business.
In an off-site meeting on Tuesday, the Disney chief executive spoke to senior leaders of the company’s television businesses, CNN has learned. The meeting came just days after Iger made decidedly candid remarks to CNBC’s David Faber in which he said Disney’s linear business “may not be core” to the entertainment giant — a comment that immediately sent shockwaves through the industry.
The admission to Faber naturally set off alarm bells inside Disney General Entertainment Content, the division of the Magic Kingdom that houses its linear business and operates quintessential broadcast and cable networks such as ABC, the Disney Channel, National Geographic, and FX.
Employees in the sizable division (there are thousands and thousands of employees who work for DGEC) have been experiencing “high anxiety,” sources noted to me, with them adding that Iger had effectively left staff “in the dark” by not communicating directly with them since the stunning interview. There have been no company-wide memos. No town halls. Nothing but silence since Iger jolted the organization with the news.
The chief executive on Tuesday sought to quell some of this unease as he fielded questions submitted by senior company leaders assembled at the off-site. He told the personnel gathered that the content created by the company’s television production teams is “incredibly valuable to our business,” according to a person with knowledge of his remarks.

And Iger talked up the importance of ABC News: “I’m ridiculously passionate about news,” Iger said, according to the person familiar with his comments. “It’s important to this company. We need to figure out how it makes the transition into streaming. And I happen to believe we will endure. It’s too good, it’s too important, and it’s really fun.”
Of course, those comments are unlikely to entirely calm the rattled nerves of those working in Disney’s television businesses. While Iger did not explicitly tell Faber that he wanted to sell the linear stations and networks, he effectively put that sector of the business on the market with his comments.
Expressing passion for the news does not solve for that. No one has ever doubted Iger’s love for the news business. And it comes as no surprise that Iger believes the content produced by the television production teams holds incredible value.
The important question is — and always has been — whether the linear television businesses are crucial to Disney, particularly as Iger positions the company for the future. Iger has already answered that — and candidly so. “They may not be core to Disney,” he openly told Faber.
As one Disney insider told me on Tuesday, Iger’s remarks to senior leaders were “the usual jewel in the crown stuff — except now we know that he’s selling the jewel.”
“It’s great to say he loves the jewel. It’s great to say that the jewel is important. It’s great to say that the jewel is fun,” the Disney insider said. “But he has revealed the truth: he wants to get the highest price he can for the jewel............ because he can’t afford it anymore.”

The bottom line is that I never heard anybody complain about Snow White’s skin color, the prince’s kiss violating her space or that her seven friends didn’t tell us about their sexual orientation. I guess people didn’t get worked up about those things before. People used to watch movies, enjoy them and wait for the next generation to request the film.
The latest Disney movie should remind everyone why the studio is in trouble, i.e., go woke go broke.
This is from Piers Morgan:
First, she was called Snow White because her skin was very white, so obviously, that was branded racist.
Second, the handsome prince didn’t get her consent before delivering the magical kiss — so in the wake of the #MeToo campaign, he was condemned as a sexual predator.
Kazue Muta, a Japanese sociology professor and supposed “expert on workplace sexual harassment,” accused Snow White of promoting “quasi-compulsive obscene sexual acts on an unconscious partner,” and added: “You might think I’m ruining the fantasy of it all, but these stories are promoting sexual violence, and I would like everyone to be aware of it.”
How thoughtful.
Yes, what a mess, a totally self-inflicted mess by writers and producers who obviously don’t care about Disney’s finances. They’re on a mission but the ticket buying public is tired of funding it.

I’m hoping this will help the stock for a while. I’m wanting to get out for a while now. should have done it a while back.
He has been in senior Disney management since 1996. He is the problem but as I have seen in review sites the studios blame the audience for not liking the tv shows and movies.
