David Zaslav Needs to Resign As Warner Bros. Discovery CEO

After the latest Warner Bros. Discovery debacle surrounding Coyote vs. Acme, it’s becoming increasingly clear that David Zaslav should resign. What we’re looking at right now is the last straw of the last straw. We’ve certainly seen too many at this point. It is also completely irresponsible of Zaslav and Warner Bros.
