Real talk tho: Is this a story Peltz put out b/c he wants a boost from right-wing buzz machine goons, or Disney put out to make him look bad? Does he have ANY endorsements other than his own firm that one group that said "OK, take *him* but NOT his partner?"

*(which in itself is a hilariously weak endorsement - Peltz wants Jay Rasulo on the board MORE than he wants to be on himself: He's 20 years younger [Peltz is 81], actually worked for Disney before, would be a plausible dark horse successor-CEO contender, etc)
The thing of it is, an authentic "anti-woke" activist-investor with those principles (instead of just a greedy guy slinging buzzwords for a powergrab) could snatch one of the ACTUAL failing studios for a song. WBD is still on fire. Paramount and NBCU are buried in debt, etc.
Peltz's ENTIRE issue here is "I own a ton of Disney stock through my firm, but *just* under 'enough' to guarantee me a seat on the Board of Directors. But I REALLY FEEL like I deserve a Board seat anyway, so gimme gimme and if you don't it's a conspiracy!"
