This article contains only one reference to the fact that Pressler is chief executive officer of the Gap; the rest is a laborious rehash of his tenure with Disney, which seems extremely lopsided.
- I have nothing to do with this article, but is your objection that there is no information about Pressler being CEO of Gap, Inc., or that the Disney information is somehow biased? If it is the former as your comment might lead one to believe, perhaps using Template:expand on the article might be better. If you think the Disney information is biased, list what your objections are so that they can be addressed by someone familiar with the subject. — Bellhalla 04:18, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

In short, this article is not in keeping with the spirit of Wikipedia, as it presents only a narrow view of the subject matter, is clearly biased, and in general serves as more of an editorial article than a presentation of impartial fact.
