It is essential for everyone to recognize that ABC didn't just fire Kimmel for daring to speak things that the Trump regime and its cult don't want spoken out loud.

It was DISNEY that fired Kimmel. Disney owns ABC.

The principal cowardice in this butchery of free speech belongs to Bob Iger, CEO.

This cartoon will be republished in History books.

A group of oligarchs kneel before a statue of Trump offering bags of money. Mickey Mouse, representing Disney Corp, lies prone on the ground.

@dangillmor I canceled my Disney/Hulu/ESPN bundle when they fired Terry Moran. Now I guess I have to research who advertises on any Disney owned media and let them know I'm boycotting those companies as well.

What is the reason the Sherman act should be dusted off and revived.

What we are saying is a product of consolidation in medium, as well as the rest of the economy.

Economic consolidation, whether it’s individual wealth or corporate size is political and economic decision-making power. Every outsize company and morbidly wealthy individual is a n affront to democracy and freedom.

Is our own acceptance that another can dominate our lives that is the original problem

@dangillmor Kimmel lied about the shooter. That is cult behavior Dan. Your ilk will never ever admit wrongdoing.

@dangillmor Having worked at TWDC, "cowardice" is one of the company's core values.

@dangillmor Millennials don't vote and won't give up their Disney obsession for anything.

They will keep their Amazon prime and use k cups until the planet is a landfill.

They're spoiled brats who never experienced any consequences for shitty behavior.
Until now.

@dangillmor it's not even Disney. It's Sinclair. They own the majority of ABC affiliates. When they say they won't air a show, the ad revenue evaporates. Immediately. Boom, the program has no market, nowhere to air. Even if Disney was still going to produce the show, Sinclair says "no one's going to see it because we won't broadcast it" someone else could pick it up. But why but the show as is. If there's anything they want they'll let it crash. Strip it for parts and repackage on a new platform

Excellent point. Too often we fail to recognize that there are people behind these decisions. And those people should be held responsible for their actions.
