Remember when Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis tried to punish Disney World for voicing its opposition to the so-called "Don't Say Gay" law? A lot of people warned that the mouse had a lot of very expensive lawyers, and DeSantis was a fool for taking on Disney.
DeSantis recently settled a lawsuit against the Parental Rights in Education law without changing a word of it. And now he's winning again:
#BREAKING: DeSantis defeats Disney in court again, lawsuits to be dropped under settlement

The last-minute, far-reaching agreements that gave Disney broad power over their previous self-governing district are declared "null and void" under the agreement

Florida's Voice reports:
The legal battles were over last-minute, far-reaching restrictive covenants and agreements, which gave Disney broad power and developmental rights over its former self-governing improvement district of Reedy Creek, which was dissolved and replaced last year.
The agreements by Disney were flaunted by the media as “legal humiliation,” and as a move aimed to “mess up DeSantis’ power grab” over the Walt Disney World area.
“Out-negotiated by Mickey Mouse,” a headline from Salon read. “DeSantis’ board reveals Disney quietly stripped them of power.”
In short, Disney enjoyed a special status that no other company in the state had. It was essentially its own self-governing district and had been since its inception.

As Disney loses to DeSantis yet again, it’s a good reminder that if there’s one thing you can count on with absolute certainty, it’s that the media will get everything wrong, never admit it, then demand censorship for everyone else https://t.co/KbAUIXW6iB

Remember all these ridiculous headlines from the media? Turns out (to no one's surprise) they were all wrong.

Disney TODAY concedes last-minute deals were "null", "void", "unenforceable."
How many of these media outlets will be issuing corrections? https://t.co/ZrvGTUBL4c pic.twitter.com/XKWxttuNva
"Ron DeSantis' Board Rages Against Disney After Legal Humiliation," wrote Newsweek. Salon reported that DeSantis had been "out-negotiated by Mickey Mouse." Here's the real story:

BREAKING: Disney drops lawsuits. Another W for Florida. Of course the media would rather lie about it or ignore it than admit their hysterical proclamations were wrong. https://t.co/KDbe1CwOGQ

Wait I was told Disney destroyed DeSantis by dozens of memes. Please advise.

They’ll still say Disney beat him. 🙄

They'll never admit it.
