President Donald Trump’s FCC commissioner said Friday he’s opening an investigation into the Walt Disney Co. and its ABC television network to see whether they are “promoting invidious forms of DEI discrimination.”
FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr announced the probe in a letter to Disney CEO Robert Iger on Friday. The company said it was reviewing the letter and looking forward to answering the commission’s questions.
Carr has pushed the Federal Communications Commission into an activist role since Trump appointed him as its leader. For example, the FCC currently has open investigations into ABC, CBS and NBC News.
“For decades, Disney focused on churning out box office and programming successes,” Carr wrote to Iger. “But then something changed. Disney has now become embroiled in rounds of controversy surrounding its DEI policies.”

AP is a propaganda arm of the democrat party...
OR he will try to poke so many holes in the questioning that it will look like Swiss cheese!

Besides, you'd think the company could solve the energy crisis by just harnessing the output from Walt spinning in his grave because of what the company with his name on it has been doing.
How are they going to answer the letter, by actually telling the truth saying F’k yeah, were all in on DEI and we don’t care how many hundreds of millions of dollars we lose pushing that crap on the public?
The media companies in this country went DEI towards the end of the 1980’s it washed over me as I was being drummed out of the ranks of the mainstream media.
Former CBS reporter Bernard Goldberg wrote about DEI impact on television news back then in his writings.
Now its three and a half decades worse with overall staffing reduced and the DEI poison along with the poisons of Drugs, Alcohol and Pornography impacting all workforces including media ones.
