“The brazen hypocrisy staggers the mind. Disney, which commands a market cap larger than the GDP of many nations, can't find the courage to even wait for court challenges? Meta, which regularly boasts its power to connect billions, suddenly can't muster the strength to defend its own policies and users? These aren't businesses making tough choices – they're paper empires run by moral cowards—simpering, whimpering, and weak.”

Yeah I like a lot of her writing, but this just doesn't sound accurate.

That said, I think PBS does have some cultural clout. So it would be nice to see them take a hard stand against these anti-DEI measures. Obviously there's only so much they can do, since I'm pretty sure they're publicly funded. But IMHO better to go down in a blaze, than bend the knee.

EDIT: I kept reading. The rest of the article is pretty good. Especially the part about Tim Cook.

I saw some other critiques in this thread but admit I recognize the site and did enjoy previous articles. I should have given this one more of a chance perhaps. But I do using the Corporation for Public Broadcasting would have been a better choice if going to use them as an example. And yet they are indeed publicly funded and a non-profit. It's kind of the antithesis of the point she was trying to make. They were also established and still funded by the federal government so in their survival interest to not go against Trusk/Mump

But I perhaps am not thinking about this correctly and have facts wrong.
