ABC decision over Kimmel comments about Charlie Kirk’s killing comes hours after Trump-appointed chair of US media regulator threatened broadcaster’s license
I don’t think that’s the answer because this is coming from Sinclair and the FCC’s threat that ABC can do it the easy or hard way, and if hard, then the FCC is going to have some more work to do (paraphrasing).
We need to petition ALL the networks AND Netflix, Facebook, Amazon, and Apple and get them ALL to put up a message on all stations and networks for a day that basically says:
The First Amendment protects Free Speech. It isoneof the things that makes the America great. The FCC has threatened to find issues with broadcasters who allow free speech on their platforms. We must stand together to keep America great and stand up for the First Amendment. Contact your members of Congress to make your voice heard.
Hopefully someone can improve my first draft of a message.
More importantly, IF people think this is a good idea, please pass it on to anyone who can get the message out of this enclave and into wider distribution.
That would be great if anyone of the billionaire owners had a spine left, unfortunately they don’t. So speak with your wallet, they might grow a spine when their stocks loose value - but not because they care about democracy.
Based on how little Paramount suffered after the 60 minutes/Colbert cave-ins, it is doubtful many people will see any reason to cancel subscriptions. If you only get the faithful to cancel, you are only hurting those you love and not the billionaires.
If the talent and the customers for various networks band together to demand a day-long media blackout, the billionaires might be persuaded to all do it at the same time as a power move to show the Government how independent the media can be. Billionaires might very much like to show that they are the ones in control and they can put whomever they want on TV, in memes, or wherever.
People like you are the reason the US does not have strong unions and labor laws and worker protections. Keep convincing yourself you don’t have any power to change anything.
These things take time and endurance, there is no quick fix.
Comrade, please. I am asking the public to organize and make this demand. We tried cancelling when it came to Paramount, and look at triviality of that ‘boycott’. Look at the data. The only way people are going to see a reason to complain is if, “We’re gonna miss our favorite show!” So put that reason in their face.
Forget trying to make these media conglomerates see the light, we should boycott them for the sake of boycotting them. This was always going to happen and they were never the good guys. If there is anything on want to see find it on a pirated streaming site. Like a lot of people only signed up for Paramount because of the new South Park season.
This is the answer at the current juncture. This is Disney caving to pressure. Force the regime to do it the hard way. Make it unambiguous. Don’t comply in anticipation. Don’t appease the fascists. Make them exert effort and waste time and deal with the bureaucracy (such that remains of it, at least). Weaponize malicious compliance and inefficiency against the fascists. Resist, in all ways, shapes, and forms possible.
Don’t bother with petitions - they do not give a shit. Vote with your wallet. That’s the only thing they’ll listen to over their regime. And remember, Disney has Seriously Fucking Good lawyers - if they wanted to fight this, they would. Make them want to fight it, by showing them that the alternative is a collapse of subscriptions that they now base a large part of their revenue on.
Cancel Disney+, Hulu, ESPN and your live streaming TV/cable sub if you have one.
