Many public companies or public company products, including the following, have seriously damaged their brands' value (and stock price) in recent years by strident liberalism:
Starbucks
Target
ESPN
Fox News
Why is this happening? What does this say about corporate governance structures serving the interests of shareholders?
It is my understanding that it is the Murdoch brothers wives who are the drivers behind the “progressive” push.
Last night I was watching Fox’s coverage of the Manchester Bombing and Shep Smith was the host. He was interviewing former CIA Director Woolsey when Woolsey took a shot at Obama and immediately, good old Shep jumped to Obama’s defense. They need to ship Shep off to MSNBC.
I saw what you did there ...
I love the united way campaign!
It gives me an opportunity to rant about the pro-gay anti-American organizations that the United Way supports and how my supervisors are trying to FORCE me to support something that goes entirely against my every religious and moral belief.
I’ve never even had to threaten a harassment lawsuit against them because they saw instantly that I was NOT going to contribute to any organization that promotes perversion.
Now they don’t even bother asking me. (I’ve a very good and persistent ranter when I need to be.) :D
For many companies, leftism has become reflexive and cultural, the sort of thing that is rarely examined because everyone who matters agrees. The marketplace though may provide a corrective as dissenters take their business elsewhere.
serving the interests of shareholders?
Not all intentional. Business is so loaded with regulation, there in no time to think about share holders. Even for me sometimes it is spend the money, get it done, don’t have resources to think about profit.
Ask J.C. Penney.
I admire your moxie but admit I am surprised your employers haven’t engaged in reprisals, however subtle. Fair play.
Although liberals complain about big corporations, they always legislate to help them grow. Why? Because when real socialism comes, it makes it much easier to nationalize.
I remember a long time ago, libs joined together to take over certain corporations with coordinated stock holder votes and in meetings.
Also, if you have not noticed, these are global corporations and globalism is radical leftist.
