Disney losing billions over decision to censor Jimmy Kimmel

“And then there’s how capitulating to a bully only invites more bullying – #FCC’s chair Carr, not satisfied with getting #Kimmel removed from the #ABC lineup, is now threatening to target the morning show “The View,” whose hosts are also critical of the #Trump administration.”

Look, I’m as glad as anyone that #Kimmel is back on the air, but I’m kind of disappointed that with everything else going on in the USA that this was the thing that moved people to actually get off their asses and actually do something.

Cancelling Disney+ was a solid move and showed how effective boycotts can be in a system where money rules all.

Now cancel Meta. Cancel Google. Cancel Twitter. Cancel Amazon. Cancel Oracle. Cut off the cash flow to all these assholes who are murdering democracy.

La véritable raison pour laquelle Disney a réintégré l'émission de Jimmy #Kimmel
https://robertreich.substack.com/p/the-deeper-story-behind-americas

Robert #Reich explique que le boycott des abonnés a été presque instantané.

Les recherches #Google de "cancel Disney+" ont été énormes & le boycott a été 4 fois + important que tous les boycotts depuis 5 ans.

Après l'annonce de la suspension de Kimmel, l'action #Disney a perdu 3.5% & n'est pas remontée dans les jours suivants.

Environ 4Mds de pertes sur le marché.

Conclusion : "nous avons un pouvoir extraordinaire, Disney a besoin de nous, si on garde nos dollars, une boîte comme Disney est obligée d'écouter & de réagir"

Before Kimmel's show aired on Tuesday, #Trump wrote that he "can't believe" #ABC gave #Kimmel back his show, & hinted at further action against the network.

"Why would they want someone back who does so poorly, who's not funny, & who puts the Network in jeopardy by playing 99% positive Democrat GARBAGE," Trump wrote on Truth Social.

2 companies that operate ~¼ of #ABC #affiliates nationwide, #Nexstar Media Group & #Sinclair Broadcasting, also said they would not air #Kimmel’s show.

#Disney took a step last Dec to avoid a confrontation w/ #Trump by paying $15M to settle his *defamation* lawsuit against #ABCNews & #GeorgeStephanopoulos. It also made moves to dismantle some of its #DEI practices, including removing references in its annual report to its Reimagine Tomorrow program aimed at “amplifying underrepresented voices.”

Knowing how Disney employees feel about Trump, they must be up in arms revolting against their CEO right now.

All Disney employees I know are Democrats, fucking hate Trump, or both things.

Poniewozik, NYT: « Maybe what Trump & his allies are doing is not precisely what Viktor Orban did to control media in Hungary, or Vladimir Putin in Russia, or Recep Tayyip Erdogan in Turkey.…. But a media system in which comedians are forbidden from mocking the president’s faction by corporate fiat is not functionally freer than one in which they are forbidden by law. » #Kimmel #resist https://www.nytimes.com/2025/09/18/arts/television/jimmy-kimmel.html?unlocked_article_code=1.nE8.qMt4.XhxJJkdRv28O&smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare

"....Always follow the money" Trump, and conservative media allies, Sinclair, are now demanding Jimmy Kimmel give a big donation in order to get back on the air...

If you recall, they own hundreds of local TV stations and are the ones that aired the anti-Obama "documentary," their national political director was Boris Epshteyn, and they had a regular piece in their local nightly news called the "Terrorism News Desk," primarily spreading Islamophobia and exaggerated claims of ongoing terrorism in the US. #USPol #Kimmel

John Oliver did a great piece about them. At the time, Sinclair Broadcast Group is the largest owner of local TV stations in the country. That's alarming considering that they often inject political views into local news. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GvtNyOzGogc

So they made the call: “#JimmyKimmel Live” would temporarily go dark.
That decision—the product of a spider’s web of interlocking #political & #financial pressures placed atop one of the country’s biggest #corporations —quickly morphed into a flashpoint for #FreeSpeech in the #US. Many #Democrats, actors & comedians cried foul as #FarRight activists celebrated.On a diplomatic trip in Britain, #Trump knocked #Kimmel for “bad ratings” & proclaimed that #ABC “should have fired him a long time ago.”

#Conservatives had accused #JimmyKimmel of mischaracterizing the #politics of the man accused of killing the #FarRight activist #CharlieKirk. #Trump’s chair of the #FCC had just warned #ABC of serious consequences, telling the network that “we can do this the easy or the hard way.” And a #Texas-based owner of many #ABCaffiliates was preparing to pull #Kimmel from its stations indefinitely.

Ironically, I think the final musical performance on #Kimmel was Margot Price playing "Don't Let The Bastards Get You Down".

And she appropriately changed the lyrics to "Keep all them fascists underground".
