Great!
I heartily endorse his gay-friendly movies and gay-days at Disneyland.
I can't wait to see the dead, shriveled-up mouse go kaput.
Into the dustbin of history....!

I think the first clue was the story on Drudge about ABC and CNN getting together; wouldn't that be a spin-off of the ABC (...more people get their news from ABC News than from any other source...) News Department in anticipation of the ultimate auction of the whole thing? Let's hope that ABC can auction Jennings right back to the CBC.

Watch fer ABC--actually any one of the big three networks--to be bought out by a Limbaugh-like conservative-leaning consortium in the next few years...and the overhauled Network will be a major success story, IMHO.

I should think that no one is more directly responsible for all the failures at ABC/Disney than Michael Eisner, who took a family-oriented entertainment company and turned it into a slimy left-wing maker of porno films, homosexual events, and anti-Catholic bigotry.

EISNER JUST DOESN'T GET IT!!!
To: GeneD
But, if you were an employee of Disney subsidiary ABC, the biggest chill was inside when the raspy-voiced Eisner stated that he did not see the third-ranked network being around in "four to five years." ABC is still around? I removed it from my satellite tuner and haven't missed it.

How ironic, Disney which WAS known as the best place for SAFE family entertainment is no longer a safe for the family. The blind quarterly report mania has lost the disney company to their product. The embrace polically correct thought nazis and wonder why the public stays away. They allow homosexuals to use a children's park for political gain and then Disney managment wonders why parents hesitate to go to the parks.
Parents want childrens entertainment without the worry of politically correct politics invading. Parents want to know they can take their children on vacation and not have to shield their children from deviants or alternative lifestyles.
I for one and tired of Daddy bashing, two mommy, leftist politics, sacarine socialist, anti-USA, slime coated, role reversal, morally ambiguous entertainment masquerading as safe children's entertainment.
Until disney "gets it" I won't invest in the company either.

Another failure of liberalism.
Can't wait to see it go.

"Disney managment wonders why parents hesitate to go to the parks." I won't hesitate to take my kids to DisneyWorld as soon as they are old enuff to appreciate it, but I actively refuse to allow ABC TeeVee to despoil the inside of the MudCave!! I agree with your post 100%...Eisner brought this on with the ideological disinformation he and his EffeteElite pals spew!!
Although I like FoxNews, Rupert Murdoch is NO TRUE CONSERVATIVE and never will be...the Right needs to control a Network, the sooner the better!!

If Disney really wanted its stock to skyrocket, revamp itself back to the origional vision that Walt had for it. Get rid of Eisner, Homo day and sell its R rated movie divisions and return back to their roots.

I agree with you, but the 'real' Walt Disney (the man) was no gem!

Isn't ABC working with Steve Martin to develope a gay detective series about two interior designers who stumble onto murders somehow?
Four to five years might be overly optimistic!
To: GeneD
Eisner is a creep.
Won't it be fun if Dominion Broadcasting (http://www.skyangel.com) bought ABC? Christian radio is already knocking off NPR on the airwaves. Now is the time to clean up TV.
At any rate, Disney/ABC will have to sell at a loss! They ain't worth that much...
To: HitmanNY
Don't know what he was like personally, but Walt Disney was a VERY right-wing conservative of the type that used to dominate Orange County politics. Same with his friend and next-door amusement park neighbor Walter Knott of the wonderful Knott's Berry Farm.

This story has been clarified with a new story on Drudge.
The clarification takes all the negative stuff back. I guess Eisner got an earful from someone.
