Disney is said to be in the chairs of the Federal Communication Commission for his controversial diversity, equality and involvement policies as the federal agency continues an obstacle to the Woke initiatives.
FCC leader Brendan Carr said he is putting the “touches of finishing” on a letter to the mouse house, which has been criticized for her dei efforts, according to an interview he gave to Punchbowl News.
Carr refused to find out which specific policies he would investigate, but said the letter would include similar concerns that he recently raised with Comcast and Verizon.
He added that he was concerned with “if they are engaged in any of this dei discrimination that could go to our EEO [equal employment opportunity] rules or potentially our public interest standard. “
“We will get to the end of everything that is going on here and remain hearing in that,” he said during Thursday’s rise.
Disney and FCC did not immediately return the requests for comment.
Disney shares were decreased more than 2% on Friday.
Shares have tanked nearly 17% in the past year and 9% year so far.
The measure comes after Carr scored a letter to Disney Bob Iger’s chief executive in December, warning that he would monitor the barrels of the media giant with local television broadcasting stations.
In that letter, Carr accused the Disney ABC transmission network of “attempting to issue major financial and operational omissions from local broadcasting television stations under the threat of interruption of long affiliation, which may result in interruptions and other damage to local news consumers and transmission content.”
FCC also returned a complaint of “news distortion” against ABC WPVI-TV associate over control of Donald Trump’s network during a presidential debate.
During the Punchbowl interview, Carr also echoed his earlier threat to block reunions and buying for any company that embraces Dei’s policies.
“Companydo company that wants to get a FCC -approved transaction, we have to make a finding that the transaction approval will serve the public interest,” he said. “I have a hard time seeing a forward path for a company that is promoting these unbearable forms of dei discrimination for FCC to get a yes.”
“And so, what I suggested to the regulated companies – not only those who are looking to make arrangements before FCC, but all the businesses regulated by FCC – is me that I suggest that they have the end of their Dei promotion,” he continued. “If any particular business is not sure if this applies to them, they have to notify me or my office.” Like Verizon, like Comcast, we will send them a letter and let them know exactly what we have in mind. “
Disney previously said she would end her initiative “Reimagine Tomorrow”, a DEI policy aimed at promoting stories from under -represented groups.
Earlier this week, Disney shareholders voted to reject a proposal that would end Disney involvement in the human rights campaign equality index at its annual meeting, according to The WRAP.
The index is a study that measures corporate policies and practices related to LGBTQ+ equality in the workplace.
The Disney Board recommended against the proposal and its shareholders agreed by majority, with only 1% voting in favor, according to a preliminary number.
In December, Disney’s ABC News laid a defamation lawsuit filed by President Trump, throwing $ 15 million to a presidential library.
