Robert A. "Bob" Iger (born 1951) is a liberal progressive Hollywood studio executive. Iger held the position as President of Disney in 2000 and later became CEO in 2005, succeeding then-recently fired Michael Eisner, and was continuing its descent into a secular-progressive corporation.
Iger supported the Clintons, which was also cited to be part of the reason why he had ultimately allowed ABC to cut three minutes out of the special "The Path to 9/11," that blamed the Clintons for not taking care of al Qaeda, as well as why the movie was not released onto DVD, either within Disney or even sold the rights.[1]
Controversy
A shareholder meeting with Iger had Justin Danhof, an attorney for the National Center for Public Policy Research and a Disney shareholder, citing that ABC and ESPN (both branches of Disney) were undergoing Anti-Christian and Anti-Conservative biases in their reporting, and stated they should stop. He received applause by the shareholders, something Danhof cited that he never experienced before.[2] Earlier, he also was confronted by Tom Borelli, a member of the National Center for Public Policy Research, another shareholder of Disney, over his preventing the release of Path to 9/11 onto DVD, which resulted in Bob Iger violating his own code of not using foul language by dropping the F-bomb to Borelli.[3]
When the show GCB was released on ABC, a former Disney member, David Outten, wrote a letter to Iger citing that the show was disrespectful and alienating American Christians, and cited the group he and Disney are currently appealing to won't fill seats at a theater.[4]
