Disney did the math and it turns out a failed merger attempt will cost less than the Disney boycott going.

Or that's how that reads to me anyways.

"Last Wednesday, we made the decision to suspend production on the show to avoid further inflaming a tense situation at an emotional moment for our country,” a spokesperson for the Walt Disney Company, which owns ABC, said in a statement to CNN"

0. Kimmel makes a false statement, putting pressure on Disney
1. left wing bullies to push a political narrative
2. FCC Chairman states it was non-political
3. Kimmel gets to return with a ratings spike

The left got got, used and abused.
They do it with a yellow bubbly smile on their face.

:wacko:

Quote

Paul went on to say that employees can be fired for "despicable comments" and that broadcast station owners like Sinclair have the right to object to content distributed by networks. But he said "the FCC should have nothing to do with it... you can be fired for not being popular, this is television for goodness sakes. You have to sell sponsorships, you have to sell commercials, and if you're losing money, you can be fired. But the government's got no business in it and the FCC was wrong to weigh in, and I'll fight any attempt by the government to get involved with speech."

i agree with him. freedom of the press is important. if something is defamatory or libelous it should be handled in court.

Do you disagree that this ended as a stunt for kimmel to get more views.

These new viewers primarily coming from left wing politically minded individuals,
Whom prior were not watching kimmel,
Until the political narrative became attractive to them.
