Disney's Woke Partnerships: A Mistake in the Making

Former Anheuser-Busch executive Anson Frericks has warned that The Walt Disney Co. is making a mistake similar to Bud Light's by partnering with a gender-fluid social media influencer to promote women's clothes. Frericks argues that Disney's involvement in controversial political issues unrelated to its mission statement is detrimental to the company's success. This comes after Disney faced backlash for injecting LGBTQ+ elements into its programming and engaging in a contentious battle over Florida's Parental Rights in Education bill. Disney's recent earnings report showed mixed results, including a decrease in Disney+ subscribers and a slowdown in attendance at domestic parks.
