"""Disney CEO Bob Iger Influenced ESPN’s Jemele Hill Discussion, Decided Not to Punish Her for Calling President Trump a ‘White Supremacist’"""
Disney CEO Bob Iger, who is mulling a 2020 run for the Democratic nomination, says that he got personally involved in ESPN’s decision on whether to punish SportsCenter anchor Jemele Hill, after she tweeted that President Trump is a “white supremacist.”
While speaking at the Vanity Fair New Establishment Summit on Tuesday, Iger said he decided the mess at ESPN was important enough for him to pull rank and get directly involved with the cable network’s disciplinary moves.
Iger’s comments seem to suggest that he was one of the main reasons why Hill was not punished for her anti-Trump comments. According to the The Hollywood Reporter, it was Iger who influenced the cable network that he oversees, not to punish Hill.
“We certainly have not asked ESPN to be politically leaning,” Iger said, during the event. “Jemele Hill is an ESPN employee, and she can’t separate herself for what she speaks publicly or when she uses Twitter,” he added.

Neither could Schilling separate his beliefs either....oh wait. Wrong sex. Wrong ethnicity.
I’m still predicting she’ll eventually get canned. They’ll give her a lot of rope but you watch, she’ll hang herself.
And no, that was a lynching reference.
Getting nasty here: Maybe Iger was doing the horizontal bop with Hill. Just a thought, but they’re hardcore leftists so nothing is impossible with them.
No morals, no ethics, no common sense. Only money and sex and not in that order.
Why? Since Walt's death the leadership of Disney has been progressively more anti American and anti Family, all one has to do is look at their programming.
she already hung herself and they cut the rope.
What a platform for Iger to base a Presidential campaign on:
1. He is the guy who brought in IT people on H-1B visas to replace American workers, forcing the American workers to train their own replacements.
2. He is the guy who overpaid for sports broadcast rights. This raised the customer price of ESPN to unsustainable levels. This gave an economic incentive to customers cutting the cord to bundled cable and satellite packages, hurting the bottom line of his company, and the bottom line of the entertainment industry as a whole.
3. He is the guy who shares responsibility for the decline of the NFL with Colin Kaepernick and Roger Goodell. His network broadcast over and over again support for showing disrespect for the American flag and national anthem. This lead to paying customers giving up on the NFL, hurting the bottom line of his company, and the bottom line of other businesses the broadcast the NFL.
Disney shares dropped five dollars when he announced revenues were going to be flat for a few years.
He ousted his expected successor.
he was going to run for office until he realized his views made him another left wing unelectable limousine liberal

I suppose he wanted to make clear that she reflects corporate values.
Yeah, no kidding.
Seriously, is there no one among the shockholders willing to do the same thing they did to Michael Eisner to that CEO? At this point, I’d argue he’s even WORSE than Eisner.
