The massive Disney failure that’s being excused away by the legacy media will drive you up a wall
Disney made the monumental mistake of going “woke.”
And they’re paying the price.
But the massive Disney failure that’s being excused away by the legacy media will drive you up a wall.
The Walt Disney Company, the biggest entertainment media corporation in the world, is currently in freefall after a series of bad missteps.
In a desperate attempt to get the company back on track, former CEO Bob Iger staged what some believe to be an outright coup to seize control of the company from Bob Chapek, his hand-picked successor.
The company’s stock price finished 2022 down 44% from the year prior, and hit its lowest mark since 1974.
But left-wing outlets refused to blame Disney’s “woke” politics for the backslide, instead blaming the market as a whole.
The Hollywood Reporter noted that the S&P had its worst year since 2008, and various media companies struggled.
However, Disney faced a unique set of problems.
For example, the company chose to eschew its family brand in favor of pushing left-wing politics into the films and television shows.
“Our leadership over there has been so welcoming to – my, like, not-at-all secret gay agenda – I was basically adding queerness to the show, if you see anything queer in the show, ‘The Proud Family,’ nobody would stop me and nobody was trying to stop me,” Disney TV executive LaToya Raveneau said during a virtual town hall.
Disney seemingly made it a top priority to add “queerness” to its content, which is strange for a company built on family-friendly entertainment.
Chapek was also scapegoated for Disney’s losing battle with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.
The Governor pushed the Parental Rights in Education legislation, which was smeared by Democrats as the “Don’t Say Gay” bill, even though the word “gay” never appeared in the bill.
The law simply prohibits government school employees from discussing sexual orientation or gender identity with students in kindergarten through third grade.
Even a majority of Florida Democrats supported the legislation.
Chapek was hammered by the Left for not denouncing the bill immediately, and was then hit for the repercussions of Governor DeSantis pushing back on Disney.
“I also think that you have companies, like a Disney, that are gonna say and criticize parents’ rights, they’re gonna criticize the fact that we don’t want transgenderism in kindergarten and first grade classrooms,” DeSantis said during a press event. “If that’s the hill that they’re gonna die on, then how do they possibly explain lining their pockets with their relationship from the Communist Party of China? Because that’s what they do, and they make a fortune and they don’t say a word about the really brutal practices that you see over there at the hands of the CCP.”
The Walt Disney Company decided it was more important to get political than make family-friendly content for everyone, and now the company is paying the price, literally.

Karine Jean-Pierre’s massive failure could mean one huge press briefing change
Karine Jean-Pierre is in over her head as White House press secretary.
Her press conferences range from cringeworthy to disastrous.
And Jean-Pierre’s massive failure could mean one huge press briefing change.
Democrats routinely use celebrities to boost their image and attach their name and likeness to political priorities.
Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre attempted to do that with the cast of the Apple+ comedy Ted Lasso, but the press briefing went sideways when reporter Simon Ateba asked Jean-Pierre persistent questions.
Ateba, who reports for Today News Africa, has become the bane of Jean-Pierre’s existence, refusing to let her evade certain topics.
During the Ted Lasso train wreck, Ateba said, “This is the U.S. This is not China. This is not Russia. What you’re doing is not right…What you are doing is you’re making a mockery of the First Amendment. It’s been seven months you’ve not called on me.”
Jean-Pierre, mortified to be challenged in front of Hollywood actors, apologized to the Ted Lasso cast.
And now the White House could be pushing for tighter controls on press passes in order to box out reporters like Ateba.
Sources told the Daily Beast that Jean-Pierre “would like a quick return to Obama-era credentialing requirements for hard passes, which take several months to process and allow reporters to regularly enter the White House complex without prior permission.”
In the Obama era, the White House generally only gave press passes to reporters who were accredited by a chamber of Congress or the Supreme Court.
The stricter criteria for hard passes would presumably deny access to a reporter like Ateba.
After the Ted Lasso incident, AP reporter Zeke Miller apologized on behalf of the entire press for Ateba’s “unacceptable” behavior.
He said, “I just want to express our apologies in the press corps to the folks watching at home for the display we saw earlier. Our responsibility is to them. We’re here to ask questions on their behalf, to hold their government accountable because they can’t all be here. You know, this isn’t about us.”
Ateba is currently suing the White House Correspondents’ Association for denying him membership.
He wrote, “I have decided to take legal action against the White House Correspondents Association since they made false claims against me and my company and did not abide by their own membership guidelines. From now on, I will let my lawyer talk about the case but I will fight like hell because as they sit in the briefing room collecting salaries, they don’t know there are people like me who build companies from scratch. Pray for me.”
The establishment clique will do anything to protect the Biden administration.
Joe Biden
Joe Biden made a stunning announcement to reporters that will leave a cold taste in your mouth
Joe Biden’s mental state is quickly declining.
The media doesn’t even try to blame his gaffes on his childhood stutter anymore.
And Joe Biden made a stunning announcement to reporters that will leave a cold taste in your mouth.
Joe Biden shows every day why his approval rating has plummeted.
Joe Biden joked to the press and those in attendance at a Monday White House event, prefacing his first remarks following the horrific mass shooting in Nashville with a tone-deaf joke about ice cream.
“My name is Joe Biden. I’m Dr. Jill Biden’s husband. And I eat Jeni’s ice cream — chocolate chip. I came down because I heard there was chocolate chip ice cream. By the way, I have a whole refrigerator full upstairs. You think I’m kidding? I’m not,” Biden told those in attendance.
The room erupted in laughter at his wildly inappropriate joke despite the press at least almost certainly knowing of the tragic news.

Biden then tried to switch gears and call for an “assault” weapons ban.
Biden said, “We’re monitoring the situation really closely…and we have to do more to stop gun violence. It’s ripping our communities apart, ripping the soul of this nation — ripping at the very soul of the nation. And we — we have to do more to protect our schools so they aren’t turned into prisons. You know, the shooter in this situation reportedly had two assault weapons and a pistol — two AK-47. So I call on Congress, again, to pass my assault weapons ban. It’s about time that we begin to make some more progress.”
Biden is just spouting gibberish.
The shooter did not have two AK-47s.
White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was even more irresponsible with her rhetoric.
She said, “How many more children have to be murdered before Republicans in Congress will step up and act to pass the assault weapons ban; to close loopholes in our background check system; or to require the safe storage of guns?”
Weak-kneed RINO politicians have made a habit of responding to recent mass murderers by cutting deals to undermine law-abiding Americans’ rights.
While Mitt Romney types race to offer up their versions of Democrats’ and Gun Control Lobby’s failed “solutions,” when they hear statements like Jean-Pierre’s, most rational Americans are skeptical because they’ve failed time-and-again.
After the Sandy Hook murders, investigators found an opened gun safe belonging to shooter Adam Lanza’s mother, Nancy Lanza, who was found murdered at the hands of her son, the Hartford Courant reported at the time.
Investigators also reported the school principal Dawn Hochsprung was killed lunging at Lanza – witnesses report, with her hands up, in an effort to wrestle the murder’s tools away.
Unfortunately the only tools she had were her hands.
A gun in her hands may have stopped him.
Nevertheless, time-and-again establishment media and the politicians who want to grab law-abiding citizens’ guns insist arming potential protectors like Hochsprung wouldn’t work.
But the fact is, where teachers have been armed, it has worked.

CNN
CNN doesn’t want you to know one stunning thing about the Nashville shooter
The so-called mainstream media are in damage control mode over the devastating Nashville shooting.
Democrats and their media allies are looking to spin the narrative.
And CNN doesn’t want you to know one stunning thing about the Nashville shooter.
Six people—three nine-year-olds and three adults—are dead after a horrific mass shooting at a private Christian school in Nashville.
And one detail about the shooting that has vexed the Democrats is the fact that the shooter was transgender.
The shooter, who was born female, used “he/him” pronouns on social media.
Immediately, the corporate press tripped all over itself to make sure that the killer was not “misgendered.”
The New York Times wrote, “There was confusion later on Monday about the gender identity of the assailant in the Nashville shooting…Officials had used ‘she’ and ‘her’ to refer to the suspect, who, according to a social media post and a LinkedIn profile, appeared to identify as a man in recent months.”
CNN went one step further and tried to memory-hole that aspect altogether.
During a segment on CNN This Morning with Don Lemon, analyst Juliet Kayyem said, “Look, pronouns do not kill children, people with guns kill children. And it’s going to be a distraction in our coverage and keep us from what we now know, which is [that] each of these cases has a similarity of more than any difference.”
CNN wants to focus on guns and not the mental illness or ideology of the shooter.
Transgender individuals have been propagandized by radicals who tell them that they are the target of a mass genocide that is underway.
It’s not surprising why such insane rhetoric would spur some to violence.
Also, women taking testosterone in order to “transition” can experience fits of rage.
Helena Kershner, a young woman who de-transitioned, wrote in a harrowing Substack piece, “The anger started as a smoldering anger at first. I found myself feeling more irritable, less able to put up with the little things that bothered me about other people. I was uncomfortable with my newfound tendency to get bent out of shape at everybody so I started isolating myself, trying to hide this awful person I thought I was turning out to be. I didn’t make the connection between this and the testosterone, I just thought I was a bad person.”
Kershner mentions several times how the testosterone—or T as it’s called in the trans community—gave her violent urges, which have all subsided since de-transitioning.
The Democrats and their media allies do not want to have a deeper conversation about what happened in Nashville.
