Talk about a panic! The Walt Disney Company is reportedly rushing to find majority voices after the election now that they realize they’re losing the biggest swath of the country. There’s just one really big problem: they can’t find any conservatives within their ranks.
ABC News brass are in “panic mode” as they hunt for conservative voices to balance the rabid anti-Trump rhetoric spewed by the hosts on “The View,” as well as those on other shows, The Post has learned.
The Disney-owned network — which came under fire over how ABC News moderators grilled Donald Trump during the presidential debate against Vice President Kamala Harris — has been holding high-level meetings since last week’s rout by the former president, sources close to the situation told The Post.

Given the leadership at Disney, one might fairly conclude that this represents a seismic shift at the House of Mouse. Bob Iger is as devoted to the “progressive cause” as a chief executive officer could be. His underling, Dana Walden (who leads all of Disney television and the news division), is best friends with Kamala Harris to the point she introduced Harris to her husband. So even if they are working overtime to find a token Trumper for their TV shows, it is a shot across the bow at Disney. Of course, a reasonable person would think that a majority viewpoint should at least be given parity for on-screen representation, but just having an actual, breathing conservative on their panels is already hyperventilation territory for everyone involved.
Such is the problem with having taken a company into ultra partisan territory over the last decade.
Yet in a corporation that is global and gigantic, Disney is stuck with the reality that they have become so insanely toxic for diversity of thought that they literally cannot find a single person to put on television as a representation of America’s majority.

At this point, one might wonder if Harvard has a better representation of conservatives than the company Bob Iger subverted.
It’s not just the ABC News division that is now openly admitted to be a completely captured ideological mouthpiece. Disney has big, big problems with their movie business as well. Rachel Zegler playing Snow White has become a nightmare for Mickey. The woman who fancies herself a star but has yet to achieve a box office win to her name is a walking, talking ball of destruction when it comes to consumer goodwill.

Whether it is on the television side of things or the big screen slow-moving apocalypse, Disney is reaping what it sowed for the last decade. The company can attempt to fix this with window dressing, but the reality is a corporation with fundamental problems. Not only did Disney empty itself of any world view deviation from the mandated orthodoxy of its chief executive, but it also deleted out the talent earned through generations of success. Replacing it is impossible in the near-term and difficult in the long-term. It turns out, the geniuses they ran away with dogma, found other places to play.
So now it’s Joy Behar, Whoopi and Zegler. They’re a real Disney dream team.
