Criticism section[edit]

I have removed this section because it's not actually critical. All it is is reporting on his comments. Even the sources do nothing apart from confirm that he said it. In order to be included - especially when labelled as "criticism" - there need to be multiple sources stating that the comments were, well, criticised. The one part that does claim to be criticism is completely unsourced, and has a ring of fandom about it.

Criticism[edit]

In response to an April 29, 2002 interview ^[1]^[2] question on why digital video recorders were bad for the industry, Kellner responded:

“ Because of the ad skips.... It's theft. Your contract with the network when you get the show is you're going to watch the spots. Otherwise you couldn't get the show on an ad-supported basis. Any time you skip a commercial or watch the button you're actually stealing the programming. [...] I guess there's a certain amount of tolerance for going to the bathroom. ”

In addition to WCW, Kellner has also been criticized for being responsible for the cancellation of Animaniacs, a show from Amblin Entertainment and Warner Bros.

University education[edit]

"He attended Uppsala University in upstate New York." Considering that Uppsala University is in Sweden, I don't see how this can be true. If it was supposed to be Upsala College, that was in New Jersey.--Khajidha (talk) 23:32, 13 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
