As a recovering journalist, I have found accusing someone of hypocrisy is the lamest, cheapest form of criticism. It’s also the laziest. I think it amounts to virtue-signaling by the critic, although gobs of my former colleagues believe they’re not judging. BS
I’m glad you’re happy. Enormous damage? In what way? Symbolically to people who disagree with him?
How do you determine one man doing enormous damage?
Define damage.
I don’t have to agree with his actions to understand and accept that he has a right to his values and how he chooses to express them. Just as I don’t have to agree with your actions, even if they turn out to be inconsequential.
If you disagree with his values, say so. And show how.
If you think he has contradicted himself, be enough of a journalist to point out specifics measured against so acceptable scale.
But to whine he’s hypocrite is, in my opinion, lame and lazy, especially if you don’t qualify or quantify the impact or consequences of his decisions.
I would draw a parallel between Disney, DeSantis, and queer folk; and the US, Russia, and Ukraine. In both situations we have an aggressor and a victim. We also have an ally to the victim with its own dirty moral laundry but that happens to be uniquely well positioned to help. Are you saying the victim should be deprived of the help because the potential helper isn't good enough?
I'm not watching Morbius, but would you assume they're in the Andrew Garfield universe, and he's the Spiderman they want to fight? That's what I thought the point of all this is.
I mean, maybe! But that’s pretty dumb given the way that run of movies turned out. Also, it seems like Brock doesn’t know who Spider-Man is after he verse-hops at the end of the sequel, but the symbiote has some sort of multiverse hive mind knowledge? The whole thing is idiotic.
Could you yada yada that? I agree it would be weird but I thought the play/hope was to get people back on board with Garfield with No Way Home and use that energy to do another Spider-Man movie with some weird bootleg Sinister Six with Michael Keaton wanting to fight a Spider-man he doesn't know...oh my god Sonny I can't believe the same people made Spider-verse.

I'm happy to admit that I'm judging Bog Iger for being an enormous hypocrite who has done great damage to the cause of global human rights.

If you don't think China kowtowing to the CCP repeatedly has damaged human rights in the ways illustrated here and elsewhere, well, okay.
Is that what I said? No. This reply is a distraction, a whole other thread.

I have never seen Top Gun.
Fully agree with what you write... didn’t he have political ambitions, at least until recently?
Yeah, he had floated himself as a potential Democratic nominee in 2020; after Biden's win there was talk of him being ambassador to China.
I'm sure there are worse picks for our diplomat to the CCP, but I can't think of any off the top of my head.
is Top Gun the GOAT lgbt movie?
Better question for Tim or Sarah! I defer to their POV on this question.
A corporate top dog doing the wrong thing for more profit than what doing the right thing would produce? Oh, Sonny! Say it ain't so!
Seriously: a seriously good and well-reasoned / written piece. Props.
