Warner Bros./Discovery's most recent earnings report, in early November, was met with one of the biggest single-day sell-offs in WB/D's short history. THE STOCK HAS NOW LOST HALF ITS VALUE SINCE ZASLAV TOOK CHARGE. This guy is an unmitigated disaster. He needs to be sent packing.

Warner Bros.'s DAVID ZASLAV has cancelled the release of "Coyote Vs. Acme" in order to take a $30 million tax write-off. What this man has done to the legacy of the studio's animation dept. is a disgrace and an insult to all who work in our profession. Zaslav needs to be stopped.
