Just because the Right is going after Disney doesn't mean the Left should be kneejerk defenders

Disney is objectively an awful company with a lot of bad policies.

2. It is a troubling attack on the First Amendment though.

Sure, Disney is rotten, but government taking adverse action for speech is even more rotten. We do not want a society that enforces message discipline through the power of the state.

5. Disney is terrible, but being attacked for all the wrong reasons.

Honestly, the Reddy Creek operation that gave Disney carte blanche to work quasi independently was a huge corrupt giveaway back in the 1970s.

I obviously don't support stripping Reddy Creek from Disney in reaction to "Don't Say Gay."

That being said, I'm not going to cry or lose any sleep if they do take it away.

7. Oh, I am no great defender of Disney

but I will most certainly defend them against Governor DeSantis. Of course, that does not mean that I will support them as a company, but I'm sure they don't need my money anyway.
