Boycott ABC, ESPN & All Disney Products and Properties

[Sea Ray]

FCC Chair backed down. Kimmel played it cool. Normal people who value free speech revolted. Consumers began boycotting Disney. Its own actors and writers revolted.

Former Disney CEO Michael Eisner criticized Disney's decision to suspend Jimmy Kimmel, calling it "out-of-control intimidation" and "yet another example of out-of-control intimidation" fueled by outside pressures and political self-interest, rather than leadership. Eisner posted on X, "Where has all the leadership gone?

Disney listened.

Disney reversed course and fixed the situation.

Carr laid bare as the politicized tool that he is.

Trump reduced to the vengeful, thin-skinned megalomaniac that he is.

"But, but, but... Disney said they fired him!"

What you’re doing here is listing a pile of things more powerful than the FCC. Mainly money. That didn’t change in 6 days. It was always a financial decision for ABC. Suddenly 6 days later these multimillion dollar mergers that the left said were so instrumental in causing this suspension, are no longer all that important

The FCC didn’t back down. They allowed the private sector to handle this. Know why? Because this administration is not a dictatorship. The First Amendment is alive and well. Needless panic and over reaction from the left

The balance between government oversight and the right to free speech is incredibly important. This kind of dialog is necessary. It's much safer to have overreaction on this than no reaction.

I agree but that’s a tangent point to mine. My point is that the FCC was never calling the shots here. We can’t have it both ways. We can’t say a week ago that the FCC is so powerful that they caused the show’s suspension and then say a week later that it’s not so powerful

You have an impressive ability to predict the opposite. You and LG really have a gift in that regard.

In the most recent this admin thinks you're stupid news, JD Vance said Carr's FCC threat was a "joke."

Imagine wasting your energy arguing that it wasn't a threat, then Vance comes in and says the threat was a joke. These are not serious people running the country.

Nexstar backed down, too. I guess those ratings aren't that bad.

For all those here that doubted this was 100%.politically motivated, proof positive that the ONLY REASON Kimmel was taken off the air by Nexstar and Sinclair was due to the FCC threats by an unhinged, anti-free speech Trump administration.

See you at the next NO KINGS rally.

The Sinclair Broadcasting Group and Nexstar Media Group announced they will stop preempting "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" on its ABC stations starting Friday evening, Sept. 26

Cities with stations that won't be airing Kimmel.

Good research hog. But oh by the way, what did Kimmel say that was illegal. Going into a movie theater and yelling fire is illegal. What Kimmel did was not illegal.

Sucks to be you I guess

SIAP but it isnt illegal to yell fire in a theater if theres really a fire
Carry on

It's not the only reason, IMO. Sinclair and Nexstar are conservative. They could've decided this with or without FCC pressure but it's a violation of speech to threaten it, even if the threat isn't the reason they took action.
