Major Disney Shake-Up after Massive Stock Decline, Furor Over Content; CEO Bob Chapek Replaced by Former CEO

Billy Hallowell : Nov 21, 2022  Faithwire.com

"News reports reveal Disney is focusing on creating content to expose young children to sexual ideas," read a survey question from the Trafalgar Group and the Convention of States Action.

The leadership shakeup comes after Disney showed a lower fourth quarter than expected, with stocks dropping more than 40% this year. Shares hit a 20-year low after the fourth-quarter report... Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
