Disney’s assets will live forever. The Disney Company...not so much.

I might get ESPN again if it goes back to its pre-Disney level of wokeness. Key word: “might”.

So, Ole Bob Iger or Tiger or whatever his name is, embraced WOKE, made it his brand and decided to double down on it. In short, he took out the revolver, filled it with ammo, played Russian Roulette and now wonders why the “challenges” are higher than he anticipated.

The solution to their problems stares them right in the face but they’re too woke to see it.

“Loses trust in the American People”?

Sorry but that’s not remotely what he said or implied.

Basically he is acknowledging some truths.

Broadcast and cable TV are withering and never going to grow again.

Disney is all but guaranteed to be buying Hulu so they need to get the cash to do it so selling of ABC and other cable assets is not a bad move.

Dilution of their brands is a known fact, acknowledging that is also true.

About the only thing I would take exception to, is the following paragraph:

“ Iger argued that the perceived failures were not reflective of a personnel problem, but rather the fact that Disney, in its attempt to beef up its streaming content, had simply run its employees to the ground.”

And I agree with the latter part , but the prior part is definitely not true.

He could try following the very successful vision of the company that Walt founded. But I suppose that’s off the table.

Walt and this A hole had two distinct visions of the country.

Quite literally the easiest company to turn around. Just make good content without the indoctrination agenda.

Goodness, wholesomeness, children appropriateness are still cherished by a lot of people. Businesses that lose sight of that might, as they say, encounter headwinds.

Their bread and butter lost $800 million this year. Virtue Grandstanding is expensive.
