I just CANNOT with the endless commencement speaker shit. All commencement speakers should have to agree to do a town hall with students where they will take questions. If you won't do that, no honorary degree, nice lunch, big check.
Pretty telling that they can't say "incorrect" or "wrong". Pure tone policing because the message is dead on and they know it; they're just mad it was made directly and forcefully.
I mean, yes & good on them for doing so. David Zaslav, even by the measures of stock-market capitalism (let alone given any consideration of artistic integrity & actual ethics) is awful at his job. Students shouldn't be the only ones trying to cancel him: so too should DiscoWarner's shareholders.
