Schwarz on Disney’s On-Again, Off-Again Attitude Toward Political Controversy
I thought this was kind of an interesting take on the Walt Disney company’s approach to airing controversial political films. From Jonathon Schwarz at A Tiny Revolution: Two Disney Movies, Two Titles Containing “9/11,” Two Strangely Different Outcomes.
So, right wing movie: Disney happily loses $30 million by running directly into a “highly charged partisan political battle.”
Left-wing movie: Disney refuses to make gigantic amounts of money because they’re so very scared they’ll “alienate many.”
