Iger's correct but only partially. If he thinks it's just social conservatives that are angry, then he's off the mark...again. The general population has more or less had it with Disney's politics, and this is evidenced by the company losing billions of dollars from poor box office numbers, a streaming service bleeding subscribers, and a 56 percent loss of market cap.

Do I believe Iger is doing what he said and is going to pull Disney away from politics and put it back on track as the leader in imaginative creations and family-friendly products? 

No. Maybe even hell no. 

Even if Iger does mean what he says — which I doubt — he's too buried under the oppressive boot of radical leftism to truly make that change.

Let's start at the top. 

Disney is still a company that has a great deal of its stock owned by woke investment firms, with Vanguard Group and Black Rock both owning over 100 million shares. As I've covered in the past, these firms seek to "force behaviors" — their words, not mine — within companies that revolve around Environmental, Social, and Governmental standards, more popularly known as "ESG."

The ESG scores are heavily leftist in ideology, and defiance of any of these standards may lower your ESG score with these firms, resulting in penalties that could cost a corporation billions. 

Disney, like many other companies that have gone woke so they don't go broke, fell in line and danced to the same ESG tune. Iger cannot just stop obeying what Disney's masters at BlackRock say lest the company suddenly find its ESG score reducing and the firms punish the company with even more monetary loss. This includes bank loans, business insurance, and stock value. 

These firms have Iger by the mouse ears. 

But let's say through some miracle that these investment firms see the error of their ways and turn their back on globalist domineering. Iger would then have to fire almost the entire company and replace them with actual talent...if that talent is willing to come back to Disney. 

As I reported in August, the people who work at Disney are on the left by a majority, so much so that anyone who doesn't lean in that direction feels unsafe around co-workers, especially management. A whistleblower came forward describing some of the ways in which leftism was rewarded within the company and people were intimidated into either getting on board or even punished for not: 

“So if you went beyond not just filling out your Word doc where you had DEI requirements noted for your MBO document, let’s say, but instead you were actually on social media saying that you supported some sort of conservative value you were going to be brought into HR,” he explained. “And in doing this The Walt Disney Company seems to have eliminated the vast majority of their conservative employees and have turned the company into a monolithic kind of state where everyone there is is either far to the left on the spectrum or they are a moderate or conservative in hiding.”

WDW Pro added, “The whistleblower says that if they had known what working like Disney would be like, that it would have devastated them because they dreamed of working for Disney for so long. Once they received the job and they actually worked at Disney that it was a nightmare and that they had never worked at any company like this that had them do these things and tied it into their pay.”

Disney apparently hired based on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives and even trained its employees to follow DEI guidelines. The whistleblower's claim was backed up by an open letter by employees begging for the internal culture war within Disney to stop, as well as actress Gina Carano confirming the presence of ideological bullying within the company. 

The problem is so bad within the company that even former Disney CEO Bob Chapek, better known as Iger's fall guy, confessed to Florida Governor Ron DeSantis that he didn't want to engage Disney in Florida politics surrounding the "Parental Rights in Education" bill but ultimately was forced into it by his own employees. 

So Iger might talk about pulling back from the culture war, but he realistically can't. Either these woke investment firms won't let him or his own employees won't. 

Disney is on fire and despite talk about putting it out, no one is going to come running with extinguishers.
