The boss of the US media company Paramount has said he does not want to remove historic programmes from his new subscription streaming service because they no longer meet current expectations.
Bob Bakish, Paramount’s CEO, said his company had thousands of shows in its back catalogue. “By definition, you have some things that were made in a different time and reflect different sensibilities,” he said. “I don’t believe in censoring art that was made historically, that’s probably a mistake. It’s all on demand – you don’t have to watch anything you don’t want to.”
Probably not long, since he's just painted a big target on himself. But it's refreshing, isn't it?

Maybe longer than you think. Disney is in all sorts of trouble right now with a crashing share price and a woke workforce obsessed with pushing a 'not at all secret gay agenda'. It makes sense on business grounds aside from anything else to offer an alternative for families that don't want Junior exposed to transgender nonsense on screen (seriously, google 'Baymax').
Yes, it is.
"... families that don't want Junior exposed to transgender nonsense on screen (seriously, google 'Baymax')."
I just did, and now I feel I need another bath... 🤮
"Yes, it is."
Sadly, doesn't happen enough for my liking.
