So does Bob need to start worrying about a sharp object protruding from his back?

What I think is going on right now in Burbank is a BoD terrified that their brand may be in serious jeopardy and they might be paying $$$$ to current and former employees. As they await the next piece in the Times or THR. And looking for a scapegoat to throw to the wolves....

And hoping there's not a Will Hays in Congress itching to make a name for him/herself by calling for investigations into the cesspool their base thinks Hollywood is.

If BoD wants to protect the company, they fire Iger, bring in an interim CEO and the company undergoes an agressive and thorough review of sexual misconduct with the findings made available to the public. Make a fund for lawsuits from victims and shareholders. Establish better education and enforcement practices across the company. This isn’t hard, having the courage to come forward, with threats of litigation from your former employer, is.

Disney’s behavior only serves Bob Iger and the other predators in the company who haven’t been outed. It doesn’t serve the long term interest of the company or preserving the multi-generational public trust the Disney Company has.

I agree 100%. If you want to protect your brand in the long term, sometimes you have to do the hard things, especially when they are right. And I don't mean just the legal, but moral. You owe the victims that, for failing to take their claims seriously and protecting them from predatory behavior.

I also have to agree. There's been a lot sexual harassments and it's going out of control. As much as I'm still nervous about the choice of a new ceo, but I'm also worried about the safety of the employee at Disney. I should give John Lasseter a chance to redeem himself, and if not, well, I guess they'll have to fire him.

This problem runs a lot deeper then just one of our alleged heroes gets caught with his hand in... well you know. It is a problem in our society that needs to be stopped and that applies to everyone in this country from the highest office to the lowest level laborer. The new attitude pushed by some leaders has had it's affect. Not what they envisioned, of course, but, affect it is. Women have been empowered to take back their rights and it is about time. I am the Father of two grown daughters and two granddaughters and it chills my spine just thinking that they might ever have to deal with that degree of slime, no matter how much I had admired those people until now. They will get what they deserve and it couldn't come at a better time. Beware all you lowlifes... a time of reckoning may have arrived.

Murdochs, the purveyors of yellow, sleezy journalism. Does anyone honestly think the Disney BoD would agree to any Murdoch being CEO? I can see if the deal goes through maybe being on the Board ala Job's widow. If we think TWDC will have an image problem if more comes out about Lasseter and Iger, just wait if the name Murdoch is associated with Disney.

Fox news is not included in the deal. Also it was ABC that issued a story last week which wasn' true and led to a loss of 350 down points before most intelligent people realized it was a lie. The news media is horrible in this country and to just complain about those on the right is just plain wrong. The deal with Fox is a good one and while we both love the Parks and Resorts Division we should both agree with the facts that Hollywood is full of scandal and that the news media is no longer what it is supposed to be, truth tellers of facts and not opinions.

I agree and I hate ABC but I don't think the Murdochs are the right for for the brand

The Murdoch's will own a full 25% of the Disney company if the deal goes through. James Murdoch will be the next CEO

They will not own 25 percent of the company. Fox stockholders will own about 20 percent of the combined companies with the Murdoch's being major shareholders but probably still single digit. Disney will also assume some debt which is included in the 60 billion.

I wonder if the Fox deal will lead to a branding change... "DisFox," perhaps, or how about "21st Century Disney," or maybe even "Foxney"... ;)
