    By telling GQ to rewrite / pull the piece, Zaslav made the situation worse than it would be, which is just so signature of the way Zaslav has been operating.

    David Zaslav needs to be fired immediately.

    It seems to me that Zaslav wants to turn WB/Discovery into... Discovery.

    Zaslav has got to be removed from power and we have got to get the Snyderverse rights and undeveloped projects over to Netflix as well as getting the studios to ignore whatever policies and investors are holding them back from doing so! #restorethesnyderverse #SellMOS2toNetflix #sellDCEUtoNetflix

      This will never happen. This is a fantasy.

    Something similar could happen with CEO Jay Penske of Penske Media Corporation which owns a whole host of Entertainment Brands like The Hollywood Reporter, Deadline, Variety, IndieWire, TVLine, Gold Derby, Rolling Stone, SXSW etc. It's basically an Entertainment News Monopoly!

    Not sure if this is related to the recent cuts to TCM, but the Watch TCM app hasn't added any of the channel's programming since June 30.

    I'm not liking this new trend of removing streaming only content. Disney just removed their new movie Crater after only 7 weeks. I don't know how it would legally work... but I bet we start to see creators putting in their contracts that their movies need to remain available in some form.

    Thanks for the TLDR (not that it was TL, I just didn't read it in time lol)

    Should have kept it. The guy reminds me of logan roy. Ever since he took over it's been worse. Announcing a reboot during a time when they have movies that need to be made is stupid. Not sure how long the board and shareholders will approve of his incompetencies

    I was willing to give Zaslav the benefit of the doubt at first, how could he be worse than previous management? However he has proven to be another empty suit. Yuk!

    Good decision on Dave, Batgirl would have fail worst than the Flash.

    I see nothing wrong with his leadership. Overall he's in it for a buck for the shareholders.

      There is literally EVERYTHING wrong about his leadership. Zaslav doesn't care for art or quality, he just wants to turn the entertainment industry in his own media empire.

    They pulled it because Zaslav is Jesus Christ himself and the article was libel

    He is trying to save money from bad business choices since they have been bleeding money. Is he wrong for doing this? He is trying to make money. That’s what everyone in the end does. Time will tell if he kills WB Discovery or saves it. I just want to see better content. The last 10 years has been a complete failure.
