After years of abuse, Republicans were finally George McFly to Back to the Future's Biff, landing a blow on Disney that still stings. Suddenly, woke CEOs, who'd gotten overly comfortable treating conservatives like political punching bags, were forced to stop and think: Could we be next? Now, in the deafening silence of Big Business, there are quiet rumblings that the GOP's resolve might just have turned the tide.
In board rooms like Netflix's, the conversation has shifted from how leadership can accommodate its most vocal zealots to striking a balance for every employee. A month after Elon Musk blasted the company, complaining that the "woke mind virus is making Netflix unwatchable," the streaming service has taken an intentional step to be truly inclusive after last fall's high-profile spat with staff. Some of the company's employees were loudly opposed to airing a Dave Chappelle special, where the comedian spoke bluntly about the transgender debate. Netflix refused to cancel the show, despite a protest in front of the company's Los Angeles offices.
Now, months later, the company has a message for workers: if you can't handle free speech, don't let the door hit you. In its new workplace guidelines, Netflix included a section on "artistic expression" that makes it quite clear that they won't be held hostage by employees who don't like diverse viewpoints. "Not everyone will like -- or agree with -- everything on our service," the guidelines say, adding: "We let viewers decide what's appropriate for them, versus having Netflix censor specific artists or voices... Depending on your role, you may need to work on titles you perceive to be harmful. If you'd find it hard to support our content breadth, Netflix may not be the best place for you.".........
........Barely two months into that fallout, the backlash against Disney is so ferocious that NBC actually decided to bury its own polling on Bob Chapek's company. And no wonder. The picture it paints isn't all that flattering for any media who's been on board with Disney's "not-so-secret" LGBT agenda. But the numbers don't lie, and in a single year, the House of Mouse's favorability has completely crashed -- from +56 to a stunning +3 today. As John Nolte points out, "Those numbers are fine for a politician. They are death for a corporation."
To Justin Danhof, head of corporate governance at Strive Asset Management, those statistics should be a flashing neon sign for Big Business. "Disney's a very prominent example of, look, if you go too far, there are certain government actors and consumers that are just going to push back. And I think Disney took a couple of steps too far. Look, you don't go after someone's wallet, and you don't go after their children. And Disney went after children."........
