Mikey's New Gig...


Maybe...

Deadline is reporting that Michael Eisner is in line to run the Tribune Company.

There goes their theme park division...

He did some good things for DIS. As a current TRB employee, this does have some appeal. That said, if he does come aboard, he better not let his ego create any more Michael Ovitz / Jeffrey Katzenberg-type fiascos again.

Hey, the Los Angeles Times has been ran like a Mickey Mouse organization for years. He should be perfect.

Eisner was fantastic for Disney, saving the company from ruin, giving it some of its old charm in a new way, and turning it into the world crushing monster it is today. Then things went wrong...

I still believe that had Eisner left Disney... oh... what, 10-15 years earlier than he did, that he would be seen as a huge savior instead of the evil he turned into.

An ego still in search of someone who cares.
