There would be massive boycotts of Disney properties, and they know it.

With Eisner on shaky ground as it is, what would he get from it? It is not like it will make them so much money that he will silence his critics.

I think the Walt Disney Company Board of Directors may have seen a near-final cut of Fahrenheit 9/11 and suddenly realized they could be a target for a MASSIVE consumer boycott of every Disney property--movies, theme parks, TV networks, publishing, and so on. That would definitely hurt the bottom line in a big way, and Michael Eisner and his cronies would be out in a New York minute. Hey, even in the liberal-leaning entertainment industry money talks.

I'm sure that the Disney folks saw the horrible PR fiasco with The Reagans miniseries from last year that scared the daylights out of CBS. I can guess in hindsight the biggest reason why CBS pulled the plug on showing the miniseries on CBS was the very fear they would suffer a boycott of the Super Bowl and the advertisers that bought ads during the Super Bowl broadcast--a potentially massive financial bloodbath, to say the least.

Roger that! The Disney execs understand who has the disposable income to spend on Disney products, and it is not the uneducated, ill-kept, tie-dyed lunatics that suckle upon Moore's Leninist nonsense. Looks like Disney may have finally figured out why Gore and Dean crashed and burned. Perhaps, the success of "The Passion" also provided a clue.

You are exactly right. Unfortunately, I gave up on Disney long ago, so I wouldln't be able to add to their pain. I'm just glad to know that they have felt the pain on previous occasions and know that they better watch what they do. I'd like to be able to give the major networks a huge dose of pain. I really resent it when they incorporate their anti-Bush sentiments into their plot lines. [Law and Order, etc.] All I can do is give up the last show that I watch on those networks.
