Zaslav is a caustic racist who deep-sixed the COMPLETED 2nd season of my favorite series from last year before it aired (the wonderful, intellectually-serious and emotionally-mature Pantheon).

He lead what was essentially a cultural purge of nascent and even legacy media that appeals to progressives (many shows are no longer accessible legally through any streaming service). I will never put a dime towards anything he touches again, and I'm not alone.
