It's been a tough few weeks for those who have chosen to make The Walt Disney Company part of their identity. Bob Iger's decision to kowtow to FCC chairman, Brendan Carr's, threats left Disney fans unglued.  Luckily, Al is an expert in parasocial relationships - even when that relationship is with a corporate entity. What did we learn about ourselves and other Disnerds / Disney Adults in the last 2 weeks? The doctor is IN and he's answering the questions.  How did the rest of the liberal, Disney public feel when their "happy place" wasn't looking so happy?
