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.

Diversity is not a crime

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

Diversity is not a crime

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.

The great Feloniously culture war is ablaze. Trump will lose what he can't control.

So far all we hear is bitching and moaning from the Butch side of the MAGATs because everything is not lily white.

Goodnight.

Imagine being prosecuted for diversity
TRUMP America

Sounds like Jim Crow

 

[WelfareQueen]

Diversity is not a crime

Preferring one group over another is a crime In hiring, housing, or educational placement and is unconstitutional. It is also deeply unAmerican.

 

[Kondor3]

Policies advancing the cause or welfare of one race over another are certainly just cause for reviewing licensing status.

I have not seen their more recent live action stuff, but their animations are still great.

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

The reality is, for every DEI hire made, there were a 100 more hires made of well connected applicants.

To them, Coco is probably a TDA member who should be deported to one of San Salvador's labor camps.

It is definitely "propaganda" -- a Disney movie about a Latino, yiiìikes.

Ah....I know you are a Dim, so I allow for stupidity, but all get equal protection under the Law and no group, including whites can be denied a job, a home, or educational placement based on skin color, religion, or creed. That is the Law.

DEI has often meant favoring one group over another based on some arbitrary standard of "diversity," whatever the fuck that is supposed to mean.

You don't hear anything you don't want to hear. Much like a two-year-old.

Goodnight.

It's not worth listening too since it is disgruntled children who compromise the base of the MAGATS.

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

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

Which means this bogus "investigation" is government waste!

Sic'em Elmo!!

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...
