ESPN just doesn’t seem to get it. As The Daily Wire’s Editor-in-Chief Ben Shapiro explains in this illuminating clip, ESPN’s Public Editor Jim Brady has stated there’s a perception the network’s left-leaning politics have stifled discourse internally within the company and lost it valuable subscribers on the outside.
Could all this have something to do with the fact that ESPN is majority-owned by The Walt Disney Company? If an observer looks even cursorily at Disney’s track record of supporting parties and politicians, they can easily see that the company is part and parcel of the Democrat-loving “Hollywood Mafia” that strongly came out against President Trump and held many substantial fundraisers for failed Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton.
In fact, with a few notable exceptions (Clint Eastwood and Jon Voigt among them), it’s hard to name a star in Hollywood that supported Trump and/or did not get overwhelmingly behind Hillary Clinton when she ran against him in 2016.
Therefore, it’s not too difficult to see how executive excrement rolls downhill and who’s likely calling the shots at the studio’s sub-division ESPN. Watch the statement ESPN put out about laying off over 100 people and what they admit their left leaning views did to their company.
