Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

That’s discrimination!
What a stupid fucking country
Diverse films are discrimination against racists
out here going after the fucking most conservative media company outside of fox for not being conservative enough. god, they're just so fucking petty
It's actually not that surprising. Before they go to war, they wanna see who will resist, and who will bend a knee.
i know that's what the core of the party is up to, but what the fuck is the deal with the base? how are 75m people like "it's SUPER important to me that disney be more conservative"
I think the issue, which does affect both sides, is that once the election was over, they just stop paying attention if "their" side won.
The qons were furiously wishing for this kind of thing FOREVER. I remember the crazy xtians and their anti-Disney campaigns ever since the 80s, along with their unhinged conspiracy theories about how they are pushing TEH DEBIL onto The Children (TM).
Then the things like woke Disney Star Wars projects and Snow White and I'm sure their rage boner is never-ending for Disney....turns out the market was already punishing Disney for turning out shit anyway, but does that satisfy the qons? Hell no.
I won't be surprised if they don't put together a Ministry of Entertainment that will approve all large media projects. Dog forbid the free market actually decide on such things - you can see the start of this by donvict heading up the Kennedy Theater...
Violating equal opportunity by investigating DEI initiatives which support equal opportunity.
This is shove-your-head-up-your-ass mental gymnastics.
FCC investigating Disney, ABC
:D
for DEI initiatives
D:
Ya this is pretty much it lol
ABC already settled one lawsuit from Trump since the election, maybe this will teach them settling won't stop the harassment.
Sounds pretty "big government"y from the party that's supposed to be small government
....they never meant it.
Gotta make sure those poor white males aren't suffering. They have everything going against them after all.
Uh, is DEI illegal or something?
BTW, I've been saying for decades (along with many others, I realize) that the qons do not and have never given a damn about "political correctness" or free speech. They bitched and whined for the past decade about "cancel culture" and they never fucking meant that, either.
They hate actual free speech. They love the real political correctness - the real kind, the 1950s-style political correctness. They want gays back in the closet, they want their Jehovah/Allah/Yahweh little book club taught in our public schools and they want those schools segregated. They want everyone to be forced to praise the character of Jesus, while atheists and non-xtians are forced to be on the periphery of culture. They LOOOOOOOOOVE cancel culture - write an op-ed they don't like and they will cheer when donvict's secret police disappear you.
Lastly, they want and demand that Hollywood enforce and praise all of their bullshit. They hate that Hollywood doesn't constantly suck their dicks, and sometimes actually mocks them and their ilk. They cannot brook any dissent whatsoever.
I miss Lina Khan
She was a great public servant.
Republicans are the worst people. If you know one, maybe punch them in the neck.
I was wondering when the Trump administration would begin fucking with my pop-culture
HAHAHA Couldn't happen to a nicer global propaganda conglomerate.
