(Jacob Bruns, Headline USA) The Daily Wire announced plans to launch alternative children’s programming as the Walt Disney Company’s machinations are revealed, the Post Millennial reported.
Daily Wire Co-CEO Jeremey Boreing announced the project, suggesting that his programming won’t be inspired by LGBT activism like Disney’s.
“Americans have enormous economic might, they just don’t have any alternatives,” he said, according to Axios. “The Daily Wire is building those alternatives.”
Already the outlet has brought on top talent in the form of former Babylon Bee writers Eric Branscum and Ethan Nicolle. The two also wrote for the pro-Christian series “VeggieTales.”
In a post to social media, Branscum expressed optimism about the new project being a long-term proposition.
“This is all very ambitious and I’m excited and humbled to get to tackle such a massive undertaking,” he wrote.
“Our first show, Chilla Time!, is a bridge preschool show about a family of homeschool Chincillas,” he added. “It’s shaping up to be a really unique, charming show and it’s just the tip of the iceberg.”
In a statement released by the Daily Wire, the Ben Shapiro-led company said Disney had slid downhill considerably in recent years as it becomes increasingly politicized.
“Disney was once a reliable source of wholesome and innocent entertainment for children,” they wrote. “But controversy after controversy has roiled the network over the last several weeks … leaving parents fearful that the content their kids are consuming is brainwashing them at best and endangering them at worst.”
In his message, Boreing thanked investigative journalist Christopher Rufo specifically, for publishing a leaked conference call in which Disney executives openly acknowledged their subversive plot to push the LGBT agenda.
“Because of the great reporting of Chris Rufo, we got to see leaked footage from inside Disney of high-up Disney employees saying things like, ‘We have a not-so-secret gay agenda’ [… and] ‘we’re adding in queerness wherever we can,'” Boreing said.
