Part 6/9:
Did Iger Lie or Is There a Cover-up?
This apparent contradiction raises an important question: Was Bob Iger lying when he publicly claimed Disney wouldn't sell its cable channels? The evidence suggests not necessarily. Given that A&E Global Media is a joint venture, Disney does not own these assets outright. This means that any potential sale could technically be conducted by Hurst, not Disney itself. Notably, Disney’s involvement is significant but not exclusive, complicating the picture.
