迪士尼投资者要求查阅吉米·金梅停播记录

摘要

股东请求内部文件以评估《吉米·金梅直播秀》停播事件中可能存在的受托责任违规行为。

包括美国教师联合会(AFL-CIO)和无国界记者组织在内的迪士尼股东联盟,已正式请求查阅有关近期《吉米·金梅直播秀》停播的公司内部记录。投资者旨在确定迪士尼董事会和高管是否将政治考量置于股东利益之上,可能违反其受托责任。

该团体在致首席执行官鲍勃·伊格的信中,要求提供与停播相关的董事会材料、通讯记录和政策文件,以及对其财务影响的分析。他们威胁称,如果在五个工作日内未能提供所需文件,将采取法律行动。

此次停播发生在金梅9月15日的独白之后,独白内容涉及保守派活动家查理·柯克遇刺事件的政治化。迪士尼股价从停播次日9月17日起至随后周一累计下跌3.3%。金梅于周二恢复播出,但包括Nexstar和Sinclair在内的约占美国四分之一家庭的联属电视台未转播该节目。

代表投资者的律师罗伯塔·卡普兰强调言论自由的重要性,她表示:“言论自由是美国的基石,也是我们作为世界上最古老民主国家生存的关键。政府不能也不应仅仅因为不喜欢某人的言论而威胁惩罚他们。虽然大型媒体公司一直处于前线,但它们也不应屈服于违宪的威胁或勒索。”
