  • 1004 - DEI Will Make Your Company DIE Says Corporate Financial Advisor Group!

    Dozens of financial advisors managing over $16 billion in assets have issued an open letter urging corporations to abandon Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives. They argue that DEI programs create division rather than fostering true inclusivity and warn that recent Supreme Court decisions and lawsuits have made DEI policies a legal and financial liability. Citing examples like the University of Michigan’s failure to achieve inclusivity despite a $46 million investment, the letter calls for companies to realign with shareholder and consumer values. The advisors also predict that the incoming Trump administration, alongside Vice President-elect J.D. Vance, will accelerate the rollback of DEI policies through legislation and executive actions. They highlight the moral and practical risks of corporate adoption of DEI, urging businesses to prioritize merit-based practices, free speech, and transparency to protect investments and foster trust. This bold critique signals a growing pushback against DEI in corporate America. 🐠 Become a MEMBER of The Reef at http://ClownfishMinus.com Official Merch Store: http://ClownfishMinus.com CFTV Audio Podcast (iTunes): https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/clownfish-tv-audio-edition/id1726838629 CFTV Audio Podcast (Spotify): https://open.spotify.com/show/6qJc5C6OkQkaZnGCeuVOD1 Official Website: http://ClownfishTV.com Official Clownfish TV subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/ClownfishTVOfficial/ Geeky Sparkles’ Blog: https://www.piratesandprincesses.net/ About Us: Clownfish TV is an independent, opinionated news and commentary channel that covers Entertainment and Tech from a consumer’s point of view.

  • 1003 - MSNBC is COOKED.

    The mainstream media’s collapse is evidenced by MSNBC’s parent company’s decision to spin off cable networks into a new entity called "spinco". MSNBC’s attempt to pivot and bring on Trump spectacularly backfired, causing them to lose 38% of viewers within an hour and alienating their core liberal audience. The network’s expensive talent, including Rachel Maddow, Chris Jansing, and Katie Tur, may face layoffs as part of MSNBC’s restructuring efforts. MSNBC’s secret meeting with Trump at Mar-a-Lago in 2020 was perceived as a betrayal by their liberal viewers who had been warned about his threats to the nation. MSNBC’s liberal opinion programming has faced criticism for bias, with anchors and talent often making accusations rather than reporting objectively. MSNBC is facing significant challenges, including declining ratings and potential rebranding, as it navigates a shift towards independence from Comcast and attempts to regain viewer trust amid changing media consumption habits. 00:00 MSNBC is undergoing significant changes, including possible rebranding and host shifts, due to declining ratings amid Comcast’s cable network bundling. 01:48 Comcast is spinning off MSNBC into a new independent company, likely leading to a name change for the network. 03:37 MSNBC’s news operation faces significant changes as Comcast plans to spin off its cable networks into a new independent company, raising questions about the future of its talent and programming. 05:03 Comcast’s exit from failing cable channels highlights MSNBC’s declining trust and ratings as viewers shift to independent news sources. 07:15 MSNBC’s meeting with Trump alienated viewers, causing a 38% audience drop, as they prioritized echo chamber narratives over truth. 08:15 Mainstream media, particularly MSNBC, is failing as it attempts to attract right-wing viewers after years of demonization, highlighting a need for unbiased news. 09:15 MSNBC’s viewership has dropped 38% to just 70,000, as the media leans on Trump for ratings amid voter preference for him over Biden and Harris. 10:48 MSNBC may need a name change and could shift towards podcasting to connect better with audiences. 🐠 Become a MEMBER of The Reef at http://ClownfishMinus.com Official Merch Store: http://ClownfishMinus.com CFTV Audio Podcast (iTunes): https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/clownfish-tv-audio-edition/id1726838629 CFTV Audio Podcast (Spotify): https://open.spotify.com/show/6qJc5C6OkQkaZnGCeuVOD1 Official Website: http://ClownfishTV.com Official Clownfish TV subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/ClownfishTVOfficial/ Geeky Sparkles’ Blog: https://www.piratesandprincesses.net/ About Us: Clownfish TV is an independent, opinionated news and commentary channel that covers Entertainment and Tech from a consumer’s point of view.

  • 1000 - Jaguar Car Commercial DESTROYED for Being a DEI Fashion Show!

    Jaguar’s latest ad campaign is criticized for prioritizing fashion and artistic flair over effectively promoting its cars, alienating its luxury audience and drawing comparisons to other marketing missteps. Jaguar’s new ad campaign featuring androgynous models is described as "confusing", "ugly", and "tasteless", failing to sell luxury cars to the target audience. The campaign’s focus on "exuberant modernism" and artistic vision is criticized as "overly focused on branding" rather than showcasing the actual product. Hosts question the target audience for Jaguar’s ads, as the body diverse and racially diverse models don’t align with the expensive, high-end nature of the cars. Jaguar’s decision to discontinue five unprofitable models and develop three new ultraluxury electric vehicles is seen as a "declaration of intent" to focus on high-end cars, despite the "misguided" ad campaign. The ad’s portrayal of "miserable-looking models" with "bad haircuts" and "clashing colors" is deemed "ridiculous" and "parody-like", potentially alienating Jaguar’s traditional customer base. 00:00 Jaguar’s latest ad campaign is mocked for prioritizing fashion over effective car promotion, alienating its luxury audience. 02:19 Jaguar’s rebranding commercial faces backlash for prioritizing fashion over cars, drawing comparisons to Bud Light’s marketing missteps. 03:52 Jaguar’s new commercial is mocked for focusing on diversity and fashion over promoting the actual cars. 06:20 Jaguar’s latest ad campaign faces backlash for focusing on artistic flair over product relevance amid declining sales. 08:46 Jaguar’s latest commercial is criticized for alienating its core audience with a confusing, fashion-focused message that feels more like a parody than a genuine promotion. 10:17 Jaguar’s new car commercial is criticized for prioritizing vibrant color variations over the actual performance and features of the vehicles. 11:19 Jaguar’s latest car commercial is criticized for its unappealing aesthetics and messaging, suggesting it will fail to attract buyers. 12:33 A costly Jaguar car commercial is criticized for resembling a poorly executed fashion show rather than showcasing the vehicle. 🐠 Become a MEMBER of The Reef at http://ClownfishMinus.com Official Merch Store: http://ClownfishMinus.com CFTV Audio Podcast (iTunes): https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/clownfish-tv-audio-edition/id1726838629 CFTV Audio Podcast (Spotify): https://open.spotify.com/show/6qJc5C6OkQkaZnGCeuVOD1 Official Website: http://ClownfishTV.com Official Clownfish TV subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/ClownfishTVOfficial/ Geeky Sparkles’ Blog: https://www.piratesandprincesses.net/ About Us: Clownfish TV is an independent, opinionated news and commentary channel that covers Entertainment and Tech from a consumer’s point of view.
