Walt Disney chief Bob Iger has hinted at a possible ceasefire in the culture war between the global media and entertainment conglomerate and its socially conservative critics — telling investors the company will “quiet the noise,” according to an analyst report obtained by Reuters.
The CEO’s new strategy comes as Disney (NYSE: DIS) remains at legal loggerheads with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis — a dispute that kicked off when the entertainment giant protested the state’s so-called “Don't Say Gay” bill, which banned classroom discussion of sexual orientation or general identity for Florida public school students between kindergarten and Grade 3.

Watch what the other hand is doing.

Disney’s getting carved up and sold in a fire sale. This guy investing $60bln is hysterical. Unlike the US, Disney can’t print money it doesn’t have.
They have destroyed some of the biggest IPs in history. Marvel, Star Wars, Indiana Jones are all next to worthless because of Disney’s ridiculous politics.
What fool is loaning Disney $60 billion that Disney will flush
If he thinks DeSantis gave them hell, wait until Gov. Gaetz gets a hold of them. These CEO’s really aren’t that bright.
He’ll have to t pay it back with half th the market he used to have
A ceasefire isn’t a surrender... don’t confuse the two.
Disney out priced itself at the parks and on the cruise ships. It is making lousy politically correct movies that even leftists don’t want to see. It took about thirty years to ruin and wreck what was established by its founder. The Disney heirs themselves were not too competent or bright. This is the fate of many family dominated businesses. Same thing will happen to Fox.
Disney’s ridiculous politics’
#1 Marketing Rule- Protect the Brand.
Disney didn’t protect the innocence the Brand was known for. They allowed it to become perverted and here we are.
Well, also what they have done to Star Wars is kind of responsible for this; Indy has run his course.
“This is the fate of many family dominated businesses.”
See Ford (Though it took until the grand kids)
He will need to seriously clean house to accomplish this. The woke types consider themselves on a crusade against fascists. They won’t listen to instructions. They will subvert.
Wait. Isn’t the “new” Snow White coming out with that obnoxious hipster Rachel Zegler? You know, the one that’s been dumping all over the tradional Snow White.
“#1 Marketing Rule- Protect the Brand.”
#2 Marketing Rule—If you stupidly destroyed the brand don’t try to “fix” it. Start from scratch with a new brand.
WILL THEY SELL ABC TO FUND THIS???
ABC MIGHT BE FOR SALE.
BYRON ALLEN HAS MADE A BID.
I think he is just trying to get everyone to lower their guard.
Disney doesn’t like consersatives, but they like our money.
House all the illegals on Disney cruise ships.
How about Disney stop trying to entice children into anything sexual, directly or indirectly. Also expunge all content forever that has done this is the past. produce a legal document that Disney will not engage in practices of that nature in the future under penalty of complete dissolution of the company.
