    Disney is in talks with Nexstar to sell ABC. Nexstar owns many local
    TV stations and is currently having a contract dispute with DirecTV
    over access to its local affiliates. As a result, I have been unable
    to get the local (Columbus, OH) NBC affiliate since July 1. Nexstar
    owns local affiliates for all the major networks.

    Since ABC currently owns 80% of ESPN, that would mean ESPN would also
    spin off to Nexstar, unless that holding is excluded from the deal.

    If this were to happen, it will be interesting to see if ABC/ESPN
    continue to be sounding platforms for the woke agenda pushed by Disney
    or whether they will moderate their editorial positions. Disney itself
    is burning cash in large part to its unpopular woke agenda. A company
    that built itself on traditional family values has now become hostile
    to those same values. This is reflected in theme park attendance, its
    movies, and its TV ratings which are all cratering.

    It needs to happen. If they intend to survive, Disney also needs to
    take a broad axe to the woke queers infecting their executive hierarchy. Every single one of them has to go.

    Disney should be sued by the shareholders for dereliction of duty and
    failure to adhere to basic business principles. Abigail Disney is the
    queer POS behind the majority of the insanity. She should be bought
    out, kicked from any board memberships and permanently banned from any operational roles.

    ESPN began going woke and things have never been the same since. Same
    trend. Declining revenues, unpopular social positions, internal attacks
    on employees who do not share the woke vision. Wimpy little blogger
    calibre "guys" who know what they read about sports playing second
    fiddle to the poorly dressed motor-mouthed cunts pretending that they
    do.

    Speaking for myself, I have not the slightest interest in the "Oh he came
    from crime and made something of himself" personal interest stories about
    some tatted up thug, or the BS analyst shows that drone on and on about nothing.

    What I want to hear is that he does his job 100% and stays out of jail.
    His brother, sister, mother, social media influencing has no bearing whatsoever on his job description and fulfillment thereof.
