    I think we can speculate with a high degree of confidence that it won’t influence their profit growth projections.

      I wouldn’t be so sure about that, the Disney brand has taken a major hit here. I think it is still impossible to say what it is going to cost them but it will cost them, they certainly aren’t making more money out of this. It is not a situation that makes the line go up, people are absolutely pissed at Disney.

        The Disney brand has taken a huge hit because they fired Kimmel, a guy who’s rating were tanking? Lol

        Disney made a business decision, and Kimmel approves of them doing that quickly and strongly.

          Yes, they have. Being seen to capitulate on free speech has pissed a lot of people off. His ratings are irrelevant, people who hate Kimmel are pissed because it’s not about him specifically.

          Your image with the Kimmel quote is a different situation. Businesses are free to make business decisions, that is exactly the problem here. They were not free, and as Trump has reiterated, there’s now a new censorship regime enforced by the FCC which is going to continue interfering in these businesses to silence critics.

            ABC chose to cancel his show. Trump didn’t.

            The FCC said they might investigate because there are laws around what can be shown/said on free to air broadcast television, and blatant lying and spreading misinformation for political reasons is, shockingly, not allowed.

            It’s funny that the left are now cranky at Disney and trying to “cancel” them, thinking it will piss off the right, while the right has been vocally anti-Disney for years lol.

              You seem to either be uninformed or not commenting in good faith. The FCC explicitly coerced Disney, Trump in his own words says they are going after these companies for being critical of him. Using the power of the state in this way is categorically different than social movements trying to “cancel” people.

                Got some evidence of that? Since you said “explicitly” I take it that the FCC publicly told them to fire him and cancel his show, right?

                  Yes, pay attention to what is happening? Go look at the words of Carr. Go look at what Trump has been saying. It is completely transparent that critics must be silenced or the power of the state will be used to interfere in your business.

                    You must have accidentally forgotten to provide the quotes and sources? Just put them in your next reply :)

                    Only one side is silencing their critics - that’s what happened to cause all this, remember? Your side silenced the “let’s have a conversation” guy by murdering him.
