CNBC Breaking News: FCC investigating Disney, ABC for DEI initiatives

[flamingdem]

What kind of a story headline is that? Insane. DEI is meaningless in a pluralistic society.

Hillary is right as usual.

4. Why do you say that?

[flamingdem]

10. I don't blame CNBC

Not going to kill the messenger on this one.

[JohnSJ]

19. I miss read it. I thought abc/disney removed the DEI initiatives. My mistake

[RandySF]

8. Diversity Equity and Inclusion

are not crimes.

17. I'd bet money that stupid motherfucker Charlie Kirk had something to do with this.

TPUSA has very close ties to Trump and no doubt Trump listens to Kirk. Kirk has been peddling DEI policies as far back as 2019 and he was going hard on DEI in 2023. They're feeding him a lot of these really terrible ideas. If we get out of this, TPUSA needs to be banned from DC, along with the Heritage Foundation. They've abused their privileges.

2. Are you serious?

[flamingdem]

11. Attacking Disney must make the MAGAs all happy inside

Even though Disney caved on a lot. At least we know they have excellent lawyers.

[RJ-MacReady]

3. The FCC

has no power to do anything. DEI isn't illegal.

[flamingdem]

12. Didn't Dump declare it illegal

Can't keep track.

5. Boy, the $15M ABC News paid to get Trump off their back really worked out.

Monkey see, monkey do with what Desantis did to Disney in Florida.

[flamingdem]

14. Disney caved on some things with DeSantis

Not sure why they're after them again.

[C_U_L8R]

6. That's so ridiculous.

Please fight this with every lawyer and lobbyist you got. Punch that bully square in the face.

[flamingdem]

15. Disney has a megaton of lawyers

So at least they can put up (another) fight.

[dchill]

7. Pretty sure only racists and bigots find DEI to be "invidious."

Also pretty sure most of them don't know what "invidious" means. That's a term a lawyer would come up with.

[Eugene]

9. Ah yes, the war against the "Disney woke agenda."

It's the old "diversity and inclusion discriminates against white people" canard.

The FCC going into the corporate governance is something that even Project 2025 doesn't mention. However, it does fit guidelines from the authoritarian playbook.

[flamingdem]

16. Can they do anything?

Or is this about generating distractions from the economy and everything else.

[Initech]

13. Can we please get Charlie Kirk's foul stench out of the White House NOW???

If we get out of this, that smarmy fuck needs to be permanently banned from DC.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

20. How is DEI illegal?

[Vinca]

21. So much for private enterprise.
