The company media positioned themselves on the facet of the sexualization of our kids in faculties and in opposition to Florida’s Parental Rights in Training Act, referring to the statute not by its title however by the time period coined by the rainbow mafia- “Don’t Say Homosexual”. They then fawned over Disney’s resolution to sue the state over revocation of its unique authorities entity. However solely Telemundo reported in prime time that the tables turned and Disney tapped out, successfully ending the lawsuit.
Right here is Telemundo’s report in its entirety, as aired on Wednesday, March twenty seventh, 2024:
ARANTXA LOIZAGA: In different information, Florida and Disney got here to phrases so as to put an finish to an almost 2-year previous authorized dispute over management of the district that governs the Disney World theme park. Through the settlement, each events accepted to withdraw their lawsuits and dedicated to work collectively in the direction of improvement of the world. Governor DeSantis’ offensive towards the corporate started after (Disney) expressed its opposition to the controversial legislation identified by its critics as “Don’t Say Homosexual”.
In fact, the report is flawed inasmuch because it additionally refers back to the Parental Rights in Training Act by its derisive activist moniker. Nonetheless, Telemundo confirmed up. Not a peep from ABC, CBS, NBC, and even Univision. And this stands in stark distinction to how the networks coated the preliminary submitting of the lawsuit.
Per CNBC’s report, with considerably extra context than Telemundo’s tiny temporary:
Disney agreed Wednesday to finish litigation in state court docket involving a Florida particular tourism district that the leisure large successfully managed for greater than 5 a long time till final yr after Gov. Ron DeSantis moved to revoke that standing.
The settlement lifts a big barrier to the continued improvement of Walt Disney World within the Orlando space and offers for the potential decision of a associated federal case.
The state lawsuit was initially filed in Orange County by the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District to void agreements the previous district board had signed with Disney proper earlier than it was dissolved at DeSantis’ behest after Disney opposed Florida’s “Don’t Say Homosexual” invoice backed by the governor.
Disney in flip had requested the court docket to rule that the agreements, which benefited the corporate, have been legitimate.
As a part of the settlement of that case Wednesday, Disney agreed to not problem the CFTOD’s dedication that the prior agreements with the previous Reedy Creek Enchancment District have been null and void.
Reedy Creek obtained gone, and stays gone as a part of the settlement. That’s enormous. That is a gigantic L for Disney- an admission that its unique taxing district is gone endlessly. Certainly there was time to cowl such a big enterprise story. However, alas, that was not the case.
Which makes the networks’ protection on the time much more egregious. As our buddy Curtis Houck famous, the networks cheered “Heavy financial hitter” Disney, and eagerly quoted Republicans important of DeSantis for each standing up for folks’ rights and standing up to Disney. Breathlessly, and with in depth quotes. Throughout prime time and within the morning reveals. No alternative was wasted to attempt to make DeSantis look dangerous. Even Nikki Haley’s goofy proposal to take Disney to South Carolina garnered gleeful consideration. All in service of the sexualization of youngsters in faculties.
Now that Disney’s efforts to alter the legislation fizzled in state court docket, not a peep. The networks have been as quiet as Fundamental Avenue proper earlier than a hurricane.
