The entertainment giant may soon have to turn over documents and communications dealing with the late night host's sidelining, including company moderation polices and copies of deals with affiliate stations addressing their right to preempt programming.

    In a statement, Roberta Kaplan, a lawyer for the shareholders who represented E. Jean Carroll in sexual abuse and defamation lawsuits against Trump, said large media companies “should not succumb to unconstitutional threats or blackmail.” She added, “ABC was the network to run the series Schoolhouse Rock more than fifty years ago. Its leadership should pay attention to the important lessons it taught.”

    Never thought I’d be on agreeing with shareholders.

          That started as Gimli in my head but ended up as Mr. Krabs.

      Everyone can hold shares. Some shares are like <2€ per piece. It’s a group far too big to have a distinct characteristic.

        riiight, no distinct characteristic…

        thats why the top five share holders (23% altogether) are investment banks and capital management funds.

        totally nothing distinct going on

          I think the person you’re replying to meant there’s no distinct characteristic for all shareholders.

            yeah, i think the only thing one can say with certainty is that they own shares.

            did they buy them to get a vote in company decisions? did they buy them to get dividends? did they buy to later sell them for more? who knows.

          Lol you and I are probably part of those top 5.

          There’s a reason those companies are measured by “Assets Under Management”. It’s not their own assets.

    Getting in between a shareholder and their profits is gonna lead to a bad time.

        So far. They can still hire JJ Abrams to write the end.

          Season 2 ends where Rogue One picks up so if they want a sequel it’s going to have to be a spiritual one.

          I personally wouldn’t mind Star Wars: Many Bothans
