Um… but Disney isn’t a private company.  They’re a public company and their shareholders have a right to have a say in how the company is managed.

They’re a private company, as opposed to a govt-run company.  The CEO isn’t supposed to be a dictator, but since this guy is obviously a leftie, and lefties like to be totalitarian, it makes sense that he would ignore his stockholders for political purposes.  Ditto Pinchie Sulzberger.

If you don’t know by now, don’t mess with it.

Well, they’re also a public company as opposed to a privately held company.  So I won’t let semantics get in the way of the point, which r108 nailed.

Hoodman: It’s more than a semantic difference; the term “public company” means something different in our system.  It’s not the same as being in the public sector.  Just wanted to clarify that.  The CEO isn’t responsible to the general public, just those who have invested in the company.

If you don’t know by now, don’t mess with it.

Maybe they couldn’t decide if they should label it “Comedy” or “Science Fiction”

Yes, as CEO his responsibility should be to the shareholders. If he’s not meeting those responsibilities to the shareholders satisfaction then it’s their responsibility to throw his pinko butt out. I, for one, haven’t bought a Disney World pass in years preferring to spend my money in Universal Studios Theme Park and other major attractions in the Sunshine State. Hope this helps Disney shareholders make a decision.

The Tribune called it the “Stupid Investment of the Week ... Strip away the rhetoric, and you’re getting a very expensive, underperforming index fund, while Milloy and partner Thomas Borelli get a platform for raising their pet issues. ... An expense ratio capped at 2 percent--ridiculously high for a portfolio of corporate giants--makes stock market returns unrealistic. From inception on March 1 of last year through Dec. 31, Free Enterprise Action returned 2.32 percent; the S&P 500 returned 4.72 percent. That’s ugly.”

Absolutely.

Woof: Another off-topic attempt at distraction from you.

If you don’t know by now, don’t mess with it.

How many shares do you think the CEO of Disney owns ?
The Verklempt Fund?

Send ‘en some money Rbot.
Hostile takeover time?

Woof: A change of pace from you: distraction, changing the subject, personal attack and namecalling.  Actually, I was wrong; it’s the same old thing from you:  SSDD.

If you don’t know by now, don’t mess with it.

Just because someone is a global warming skeptic doesn’t make them wrong. I have regular conversations with two global warming skeptics. One has a degree in meteorology from the 2nd most prestegious meteorology school (Florida State), and the other has a degree from the one school more prestegious in that field(Pennsylvania).

The science about global warming IS settled except with two groups of people:

1. Climatologists

2. Atmospheric Scientists

A producer of the program was told, “If Hillary weren’t running for president, this wouldn’t be a problem.”

I don’t see why this would be a problem even if Hillary was running. It’s not like they’re putting it on TV again. If a video is simply made available to purchase, then any possible viewers have to go out of their way to see it.

If hollywood wants to stop sales of Path to 9/11 on the grounds of the election then there are a lot of movies that would be prejudicial to the voters. How about keeping Rendition, Redacted, Lions for Lambs, and anything with George Clooney or Sean Penn out of the video stores.

This just makes no sense.

Catch the bias?

The fakeumentary was aired with no
commercial advertiser willing to be associated with it.
Disney likely sees it as others did, harmful to its profits.

Woof: Again and again, you demonstrate your intellectual dishonesty.  Here we have a leftie CEO censoring a documentary for poltitical reasons, and you attempt to change the subject by smearing someone else, who hasn’t censored any documentaries for political reasons.  Non sequitur.

Do you have any evidence for calling “The Path to 9/11” a “fakeumentary”?  Or is it just your usual no-content namecalling?

If you don’t know by now, don’t mess with it.

But certainly Iger has a duty to generate profits for Disney’s shareholders

...he owes no duty to anyone.

Unfortunately for you, we are a capitalist society. He owes a duty to the shareholders.

Mark D, WOOF - can you back up your charges? Just wondering.

Richard Lindzen of MIT is probably the most brillian atmospheric physicist on the planet, and he has been called an “Exxon paid climate skeptic” simply because he dissagrees with the hypothesis of anthropogenic global warming. Thinking that global warming is part of a natural cycle is not evidence of being wrong.
