Former HBO Max executives say the streaming service has been left with few people of color to oversee its diverse slate of programming as Warner Bros. Discovery continues its ongoing corporate reshuffling.

"What are they going to do with this disproportionate amount of people of color that were let go? They need to replace them in some capacity. Or do they not care? That’s what we’ve been told, that they just don’t care.”

Lengthy but enjoyable article.

Pitiful liberals weeping and wailing, gnashing of teeth prevalent throughout.

And yet still there are tens of millions of people in other countries willing to risk their lives to set foot in this horrible, misogynistic, racist, sexist, homophobic hell-scape of a nation.

Why is that?

Does HBO want porn in all its programming? Sure seems like it.

Next time some libtard gets something different than what appears on the box, ask them what the problem is, they are only concerned with the external packaging of things....

Today we learned that Shia LaBeouf has found God, and the Discovery Network has found Middle America. I call that a good day!

Imagine the horror and emotional trauma these executives must feel. Realizing that to make money they actually have to cater to the audiences instead of their office politics.

The sustainability of diversity hiring is not a practical and long lasting business plan. A company needs to go off of skill qualifications, and content of character if they want to turn a profit.

These are the same jerks who found it funny when small businesses were closed and destroyed during COVID. F ‘em.

So minorities and pocs can’t have “middle American values”?

Kinda racist, ain’t it...

It sounds like some people at discovery have realized that most of us don’t pay for diversity. We don’t pay to be lectured or beaten over the head with our “privilege.”

I don’t know if anyone else has noticed but we get plenty of “diversity” in the commercials. And then some.

Bet the HBO execs are drooling over the money rolling in from “Top Gun Maverick”. The lack of “wokeness” in that film had main stream America flocking to the movies. They want a piece of that.....

Warner Bros has discovered what Intel discovered 4 years ago.
Diversity hiring only gives you under qualified employees and and exodus of experienced workers.
Hopefully Pat Gelsinger can fix the mess that Obama helped create.

Like 3-D and Disco, “Woke” is a fad. And like 3-D, Disco, and every other fad, overexposure hastens its decline.

"What are they going to do with this disproportionate amount of people of color that were let go?

Nothing. They've been laid off. It's over.

"They need to replace them in some capacity.

No they don't.

"Or do they not care? That’s what we’ve been told, that they just don’t care.”

Welcome to Hollywood.
