Trump’s FCC commissioner opens investigation into Walt Disney Co. and ABC for diversity policies

[scruffy]

They are private companies, not government run agencies. tRump has no say on their internal policies.

Now you're against regulations?

Which means this bogus "investigation" is government waste!

And you're suddenly in favor of trimming waste?

Are you turning into a conservative?

Sic'em Elmo!!

False. Damn, you Dims really are stupid. A private business cannot deny employment based on skin color, religion, or creed.

 

[Crepitus]

Except that the government licenses broadcasting stations and amusement parks and cruise lines...

So... if those companies are engaging in policy or activity deemed Racially Divisive or Sexually Deviant, then...

They are not.

What regulation do you think I'm against?

YOu idiot, that's exactly what tRump want's them to be able to do.

DEI isn't freedom, it's illegal discrimination.

Whom does it keep down?

I know, Star Search was an insidious den of debauchery and deviants, and so was The Apprentice.

 

[Moonglow]

Nail biting.

I always find it amusing that MAGAs who cry about “Marxists” and “commies” are the first ones to applaud the use of governmental power to force businesses to bend to the will of the government.

MAGAs are and have always been closeted marxists.

Trump's FCC commissioner opens investigation into Walt Disney Co. and ABC for diversity policies

President Trump's head of the FCC had Disney and ABC in his sights. FCC Chairman Brendan Carr wrote to Walt Disney Co.

apnews.com

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.

The new administration has taken an aggressive posture toward the media on several fronts. Just this week, there were court hearings on the shutdown of Voice of America and the president’s dispute with The Associated Press over how the news agency refers to the Gulf of Mexico, which Trump has ordered renamed the Gulf of America.

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.


Lets see how the leftist media likes a death by a thousand cuts.

OK, I had to look up invidious.

in·vid·i·ous
[inˈvidēəs]
adjective
invidious (adjective)

1. (of an action or situation) likely to arouse or incur resentment or anger in others:
   "she'd put herself in an invidious position"
   • (of a comparison or distinction) unfairly discriminating; unjust:
     "it seems invidious to make special mention of one aspect of his work"

Origin
early 17th century: from Latin invidiosus, from invidia (see envy).

It’s the Trump administration that’s being invidious; they demonize anyone that disagrees with them.

When it comes at the expense of others, it certainly is.

Just like prejudice and racism are not crimes, until they come at the expense of others.

I think it is up to you that IS at the expense of others.

I don’t think the government has any say beyond licensing and those companies only have to follow the laws and legal requirements of their licensure, not a bunch of questionably Constitutional EO’s. They are private companies, not federally funded.

That's fantastic and hilarious at the same time!

 

[Z99]

I remember when Disney was the gold standard of wholesome, quality entertainment. It's a shame that they succumbed to the woke freak show.

Imagine how much more valuable their brand and their stock would be if they had stuck with that.

 

[Z99]

Can the Trump Admin. prove in court that diversity has hurt someone, or that someone was denied their rights because of this?

Easy.

Diversity is not a crime

Racial or sexual discrimination IS a crime.

I agree with you that private companies should be able to discriminate against classes of people. Why didn't you feel this way when Obama & Biden were suing conservatives out the wazoo for doing so?

Racial or sexual discrimination IS a crime.

The left does not think feel it's a crime when they do it.

 

[scruffy]

Whom does it keep down?

Anyone who can actually do the job.

 

[Kondor3]

They are not.

A matter of interpretation, and who has the power to make THEIR interpretation "stick", I assure you.
