Disney CEO Bob Iger pushes back against right-wing critics, including Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, and says the company isn't 'sexualizing children'
“The notion that Disney is in any way sexualizing children is preposterous and inaccurate,” Iger said in a CNBC interview Thursday. Some Republican politicians, including Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, have echoed right-wing media attacks on Disney. The 2024 presidential candidate, who has waged his own battle against Disney for more than a year now, in March said Disney adds a lot of “sexuality into the programming for young kids.
“We have to come to grips with that.” Linear business is in a decline as more people cut the cord and watching programming on streaming platforms. Disney\n \n also owns ESPN, but Iger said that he’s “bullish” on sports and wants to stay in the sports business. He added that Disney\n \n looking for strategic partners that could help the company with distribution and content, including assistance in purchasing increasingly expensive licensing deals for live sports, including the NFL and NBA.
