Daniel comes across extremely well in that article. As the author noted, DMED is more about history repeating itself at Disney. -- (edited)

Some people want to run it like any other business. Others believe it deserves more reverential treatment.
I'm squarely in the latter category, but the smear pieces on Chapek thus far haven't smeared him effectively.
The only one that moved the needle for me was his trying to do pandemic layoffs before the legislation passed. That was sub-human. Virtually all the other stuff is just business/ideological disagreements.
The much more effective points of attack on Chapek involve his waiting too long to defend Florida LGBTQ+ employees, his forcing Imagineers to change coasts, and the ScarJo nonsense. There are real criticisms of him out there. Most of the early slander stuff has missed the mark.
