"Trump’s attempt to silence Jimmy Kimmel only ensured that more Americans heard the jokes, more people saw through his insecurities, and more recognized that the emperor has no clothes. Kimmel’s Tuesday night viewership exceeded six milion, around three times what he received before this fiasco."

Disney reinstates Jimmy Kimmel after backlash over capitulation to FCC

This is a proof that boycotts matter. Make it more significant by staying unsubscribed.

#Disney said in a statement Monday that “#JimmyKimmel Live!” will return to its #ABC broadcast on Tuesday.

The decision came nearly a week after ABC said it was suspending the late night show indefinitely, shortly after the host made comments linking the alleged killer of conservative activist #CharlieKirk to #Trump’s #MAGA movement.

A galaxy of stars including Jennifer Aniston, Ben Affleck, Tom Hanks and Disney performers such as Selena Gomez have come out in support of Jimmy Kimmel. In total, 400 celebrities signed an open letter published by the ACLU warning of a "dark moment for freedom of speech." Here's more from @people.

Once we accept government intimidation of the press as normal, democracy itself becomes the punchline. #JimmyKimmel #BoycottABCDisney #governmentcensorship

welp… so the reason #Disney back-peddaled is because they didn’t think fucking with #JimmyKimmel would unleash a #BoycottDisney. they never thought how any backlash would mess-up the #streaming #priceGouging they’ve relied on, to cook-up profit margins of the millions upon millions users they’ve never had:

❝ Disney may announce a Disney Plus price increase tomorrow https://www.theverge.com/news/783236/disney-may-announce-a-disney-plus-price-increase-tomorrow

USA media companies believed their own hype of billions of trapped paying users, esp Disney.

FAFO.

Capitulation leads to more capitulation. We need corporations that will fight for democracy, and must BOYCOTT those who won’t.

Now that Sinclair and Nexstar have caved and put Jimmy Kimmel back on the air due to public pressure,

Perhaps,

Maybe,

Hoping,

We can keep that kind of pressure up on all the other bullshit that keeps getting thrown at us. #Politics #JimmyKimmel

Trump, reminiscent of Mr Creosote from Monty Python holds a flaming copy of 'Scientific American' and yells "OUCHY" as Jimmy Kimmel burst out of his chest like the Xenomorph of Alien. Jimmy is in a Groucho Marx pose, telling the punchline "AW QUIT WHINING AND TAKE A TYLENOL!"

And as I keep saying, Sinclair and these affiliate stations are NOT economic behemoths in Disney's class.

They are economic light weights in the bigger picture. So if y'all cancelling Disney+ etc got Disney actin right, just a fraction of that boycott hitting Sinclair directly and you might have something 🤔

And remember, don't over do it on praising Disney for Kimmels -partial- return to air. Its best make sure Disney and friends feel long term impacts so they don't dare this gambit again.

Some of the best commentary I've read:

"I canceled my Disney+ subscription last night, along with hundreds of others — maybe even thousands. It felt good, but I’m not dumb enough to think that it will *do* any good. I canceled my Amazon Prime subscription when Jeff Bezos dismantled the Washington Post. I cancelled my Spotify subscription years ago over Joe Rogan’s anti-vax comments. It made no difference because these are billionaires making billion-dollar deals, and my monthly subscription is not going to put a dent in it."

"Jimmy Fallon and Seth Meyers still have jobs because Comcast — the owner of NBCUniversal — has not yet needed FCC approval for anything. But if and when they do, Comcast will throw Fallon and Meyers directly under the bus, too, because at this point, they make less for the corporation than it would cost them to fight off the federal government."
