Dana Walden

Walt Disney Television’s chairman of entertainment Dana Walden admitted this month that ABC passed on several “well-written scripts” because they lacked “diversity.”
Walden even bragged about passing on a script because it centered around a white family, only adding racial diversity through neighbors and other supporting characters.
“I will tell you for the first time we received some incredibly well-written scripts that did not satisfy our standards in terms of inclusion, and we passed on them,” Walden told Women in Focus panel moderator Janice Min.
Walden recalled her reaction to a script that centered around a white family. “Pass,” she said. “That’s not going to get on the air anymore because that’s not what our audience wants. That’s not a reflection of our audience, and I feel good about the direction we’re moving.”
As The Hollywood Reporter reported, ABC last year set new so-called “inclusion standards” to ensure “diversity.”
“The guidelines called for at least a 50 percent increase in recurring characters played by actors from underrepresented groups,” Mediaite noted.
“These new guidelines are intended to make our content and our sets as inclusive as possible, and will serve as a further catalyst for real and sustained change,” read a memo from Simran Sethi, exec vp of development and content strategy. “We want to take this moment to evaluate systems and habits in an effort to remove barriers to access and opportunity. It’s important for us to look around the room, see who’s not there, and then take the steps to not only bring them in, but also set them up for success.”
During the Women in Focus panel discussion, Walden also boasted of a forthcoming so-called “BIPOC” programming initiative at Hulu. BIPOC stands for “black, Indigenous and people of color.”
“It is programming that is by BIPOC storytellers, for BIPOC audiences, curated by executives of color, high-level leaders inside of our organization,” she outlined.
Earlier this year, Gina Carano was fired by Disney from her standout role in Star Wars spinoff “The Mandalorian,” apparently over her conservative views.
Disney contends they let Carano go over an Instagram post they found to be “anti-Semitic.” The post depicted a Jewish woman running from Nazi guards and included a caption warning against political intolerance. Reports, however, suggest Disney was planning to cut Carano for months over her open right-wing views.
Soon after Disney’s move, Carano said she refused to be canceled and teamed up with The Daily Wire to produce and star in an upcoming film.
Daily Wire co-founder and Editor Emeritus Ben Shapiro slammed Disney for their intolerance in relation to Carano.
“Social movements have consequences, and we are now in the middle of a mass social movement to expel half of the American population from the body politic,” he said.
“It is not about an honest attempt to cleanse the culture. It is not about an honest attempt to have discussion or conversation,” Shapiro continued. “It is about, can we wrong-foot you so that we have an excuse to say that your entire career has been completely and utterly garbage and that you are a bad person, and so we feel good about excising you from the body politic. That’s all that is happening right now in the culture, and that is a big deal.”
“That’s not going to get on the air anymore because that’s not what our audience wants.”
Love how they lie. They could care less about the audience. It’s their CIA handlers and other Intel lice they’re pleasing, the “audience” left long time ago.
Disney was paedophile but now it is Paedophile and Jewish, so it carries their usual motto, “Kill Whitey”.
I just deleted the sit-com, ‘Call Your Mother’ from my Hulu line-up even though I usually like Kyra Sedgwick. I was okay with her bestie being black. Whatever. I was able to overlook a fawning, queer-ass negro adopting her as his second mother. I draw the line at her daughter hooking up with a black, and as far as I am concerned, if blacks really had pride in their race, they would draw the line at a black hooking up with that ugly white daughter.
I don’t know what audience this bimbo is referring to but I haven’t met them yet.
This is strictly ‘in your face’ social engineering.
Dana Walden, born Dana Freedman is Jewish.
According to the article, she bragged about passing up a script about a White family; most White Americans who read this information probably think well even a White woman realizes the USA should marginalize White people so they approve it (they don’t want to be called a White supremacist).
In the future, elite Jewish extremists are going to set limits on the number of White people working for all businesses, in school classes, living in cities, specific careers, watching sporting events, eating at Burger King, etc.
I wonder if Dana Walden has ever mentioned White people allowed massive immigration of non-Whites into the USA and European countries so they could have a better life.
Perhaps Dana Walden can create a Thank You White People day.
Go woke… Go broke
If you’re media or entertainment and have an agenda your output is propaganda.
MM ABOVE….Exactly it IS propaganda….Jewish propaganda because it is only the Jews who are implementing it….using their monopoly over the media.
In the USSR post 1917 there were strict laws against “antisemitism” which could see you banished to the Gulag and quietly murdered….if Americans lose their right to bear arms via constantly tightened gun laws…..they better be prepared to be massacred like the Russians ….
