It’d be a shame if someone provided context to this so it made sense.
David Zaslav is head of Warner Bros. Discovery. He took over recently after the merger and proceeded to make a bunch of unpopular decisions regarding everything and made life worse for all employees and fans. He cancelled a million projects mid-stream including a fully finished batwoman movie to get a tax write off. He also gutted Discovery when he became CEO awhile back, taking it from education based to reality tv garbage because that makes more money apparently. He’s basically a real life Jack Donahue from 30 Rock.
