Roy Disney says ex-weatherman Iger is Eisner's puppet
Roy Disney is right. However, Eisener is where he is because Roy Disney began the initial revolt against Ron Miller in the 80s that almost caused the Disney company to end up in the hands of the likes of Warren Buffet.

Yes, Roy ousted Ron Miller (married to Walt's daughter) b/c of lackluster leadership in favor of Eisner. But Eisner backstabbed Roy by ousting the last Disney from the board (on the basis of Roy's age). Eisner lived to regret that move.
