National Review- Disney Just Fired Its Corporate-Affairs Chief
Both Disney CEO Bob Chapek and its previous CEO Bob Iger made the spectacularly unwise choice to make Disney (as far as I can tell) the only major company to interject itself into Florida’s politics over its new parental-rights law, so naturally it’s . . . the head of corporate affairs who got canned.
Three Months. Isn’t that about a Billion Dollars a day in lost stock value?
Morrell’s thinking, according to people familiar with the matter, was based on setting precedent. He feared if Disney took a public stand against “Don’t Say Gay,” the company may also have to publicly fight future human rights issues, including potential offenses from China, an important market for Disney
I hope everyone calls out Disney and every other corporation out for their ignoring the Genocide of the Uyghurs.
The top always finds a scapegoat lower down the ladder to toss to the mob.
Mai Lai anyone?
l remember the chart, the chain of command above Lt Calley all the way up to Westmoreland.
or as the pundits put it, Wastemoreland eluding to the use of agent orange.
what an abominable farce that was. ‘burn the village to save it’, ‘kill ratio’ goddam nonsense for what?
My corporate apology …
“Speaking to you, reading your messages, and meeting with you have helped me better understand how painful our silence was. It is clear that this is not just an issue about a bill in Florida, but instead yet another challenge to basic human rights. Therefore, my corporation stands with Ron DeSantis and the parents of young children in Florida who insist on raising their children free from the EXTREMIST proselytizing of the LGBTQqAI2s+/- oddballs.”
PS … I hope Disney’s stock crash continues unabated as the MAJORITY of parents ignore the brand, and move on to healthier fare for their children.
They’ll quietly replace the CEO when the noise has subsided.
They’re actually doubling down. Morell wanted Disney to stay out of the issue. He’s being replaced by a (female) former Hilary! campaign communications director who is all in on the perversion.
