COMBATING BIGOTRY & HATE
The loss in viewership, attributed to A&E’s cancellation of its police show, Live PD, exposed a suppurating inoperable tumor in the network’s gut: a penchant for bigotry, violence and sensationalism. That penchant spawned an ultimately fatal addiction to shows featuring crime on the one hand, while whitewashing discrimination and hatred of minority religions on the other.

COMBATING BIGOTRY & HATE
Dear Ladies and Gentlemen of Disney, I am sure you have seen the stats in Hollywood. People are tuning out in droves. Hollywood tries something different to win them back but nothing is working. Why? What’s missing? Are you ready? Get out your pens because you will want to write this down.
COMBATING BIGOTRY & HATE
How Disney feels comfortable coming down on that side of the fence is beyond me. Apparently, their real values are not family values.
COMBATING BIGOTRY & HATE

COMBATING BIGOTRY & HATE
I have been a structural and specialty contractor for almost half a century and have helped build several of the very Disney properties over which you preside. I used to have an enormous respect for Disney.
