Disney and Gov. DeSantis’ Central Florida tourism board reached a settlement on Wednesday that would end all Florida state’s pending litigation between the two.
Mainstream media’s open support for Disney in their fight against Gov. Ron DeSantis, R-Fla., took on a whole new look after a settlement was reached that appeared to end in DeSantis’ favor. After ongoing legal battles, the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District, a board appointed by DeSantis, voted to approve a settlement deal with Disney on Wednesday.
In 2022, several people at MSNBC called DeSantis’ move as 'authoritarian' and mocked the governor for attempting to go after the billion-dollar company. 'Later in the program, the governor of Florida’s growing authoritarian rule there and its retaliatory move against one of the biggest corporations in America—all for Disney’s crime of speaking out against discrimination and hatred,' MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace said.
Throughout 2023, headlines claimed how DeSantis was being outmaneuvered by Disney and would eventually lose his case. 'How Disney just beat Ron DeSantis,' a Vox headline read. A Salon piece was titled, '’Out-negotiated by Mickey Mouse’: DeSantis’ board reveals Disney quietly stripped them of power.' Newsweek reported 'Ron DeSantis Suffers Huge Blow in His Battle With Disney.' 'Disney is proving to be the foe that will not die,' Vox wrote.
We are pleased to put an end to all litigation pending in state court in Florida between Disney and the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District,' Walt Disney World President Jeff Vahle told FOX Business in a statement.
