Robert Iger, CEO of the Walt Disney Company, speaking at the company’s annual shareholder meeting on Wednesday, insisted that ABC News had acted impartially in the 2016 presidential election campaign and that criticism of ESPN for espousing leftism was “exaggerated.”
Iger’s response was triggered by questions from Justin Danhof of the National Center for Public Policy Research, who noted that Iger had said the year before that Disney’s outlets were free from bias. Danhof noted that President Trump had labeled ABC “an enemy of the American people.” He pointed out Wikileaks had provided “plenty of evidence” that Disney was not requiring its organizations to be politically neutral.
