Disney the mouse betrayed

[texas8891]

In today's world of complex business relationships, it would be shocking if Disney didn't, at least at some various times, have some stake in a company that wouldn't be seen as "family friendly". In my opinion, they try to be careful about such acquisitions and divest themselves of inappropriate holdings when it's financially prudent. You have to realize that Disney has to watch their financial bottomline. Sometimes, that means decisions which are not 100% "Family Friendly". If you review the financial holdings of almost every company and university in the country, you will find a stake in companies some would deem undesireable.

First off I love Disney. But than I like to read the pro and con about everything. For some reason after a war the winner always tells the story. Yes they have agenda and I do not agree with there views, I mean I really do not agree with them. Yet the book tells what is out there which in Disney we do not want to know. My point read it so you are a more rounded person in the know.

Wow, a blast from the past.
6 years ago. Can't believe I read the book that long ago. Man, where does the time go?

No, it was a library book and I returned it before I got much farther. In the back of my mind I keep thinking I need to go back and read it all.

I know they were journalists, I didn't get the feeling like they had worked there, but still felt they were out to get Disney. Maybe it was because it had the feel like they were willing to dif ANYTHING up that was remotely "bad" to make them look worse. But like I said, the porno and the not screening employees, having the molester at the pool masterbating, and what was going on at the fire station, those are crazy accusations. And if they are all correct are very troubling. Maybe AV can let us know if he knows anything about the porn thing.

I am very surprised that more people on these boards have not read it, and if they have I haven't heard any outcry about the possiblity that it is true.

Oh come on.....you don't expect the cool-aiders to read something like this. True or not. If we are not allowed to write anything remotely negative about the House or the Mouse on the DIS, true or not, we certainly will not be allowed to READ anything possibly negative....true or not. HAHAHAHA
