Kimmel didn't even talk about Kirk's death outside of stating that the right is trying their best to milk it as much as possible which is saying nothing about Kirk. He never commented on Kirk as a person, at least not as far as I know of.

Keep. On. Boycotting.

They're are just in PR damage control, they have not fired a single person or told Sinclair/Nextstar to fire those who actively voice support for fascism.

Kimmel didn't make any "Charlie Kirk comments"

He made fun of Trump for not giving a shit about Kirk's death because he couldn't get over his 8 year old equivalent impulse control to start bragging about the monstrosity they built on top of the Rose Garden at the White House.

Too late, fuckers. Subscription is staying cancelled and I’m not coming back.

Alternate headline: "Disney losing money, back pedaling"

Nice try, I will never return to paying for Disney+ though.

There’s not even an apology anywhere to be seen. Just a spineless attempt to have it all go away.

Except I'm not resubscribing Disney.

That's not how it works.

You haven't felt the pain of freedom of my wallet.

When TV's tamest talkshow host gets his show banned, you know we're in dystopian times.

So much for all the fascist right's posturing on "free speech" lol

I kinda wish Kimmel had told them to get fucked and went somewhere else, or started his own podcast.

We have spent the last days having thoughtful conversations with Jimmy

You mean conversations with your lawyers. I'm sure Kimmel was lawyering up for breach of contract.

Well, now let's see what Jimmy Kimmel does. Will he come back toning down his rhetoric or will he start by thoroughly criticizing Kirk and Disney right as he gets back. I don't think there really is a third option. If he decide to not address this, he will always weigh the consequences of saying something before saying it (even subconsciously). And in that case, he is not worth watching.

Trying to rewrite history huh - they suspended the show because Kimmel criticised Trump, and the FCC threatened ABC/DIsney. Never forget.

Let's go ahead & start calling & boycotting all of NexStar and Sinclair's advertisers since they decided they aren't going to have Kimmel back.

"OK, I keep getting asked about how to complain about Kimmel," he wrote on Facebook. "The best way to complain that will have the biggest impact? See if you have a Sinclair or Nexstar station in your area. 2. Watch the local newscast tonight or sometime this week. 3. Note the companies that bought TV adverts. 4. Call them and let them know you will boycott them until they quit supporting that media company."

"Trust me. I worked in TV for 45 years. Nothing you do will have greater impact. Nothing," he continued. "This is a much more effective tool than cancelling Disney. We did cancel Disney but calling Joe’s Jeep dealership who is buying adds on the local Nexstar station will have a BIG impact. Joe doesn’t need that grief. He will find another station to buy adverts on."

Also, they are fascists & deserve to be destroyed anyhow.

Blah blah we want your money blah blah.

That's a bummer for them, Ive already canceled my account and ordered a nice NAS setup and Plex.

Money, that's our only way of influence.

Holy shit boycotting works?

If I was Jimmy Kimmel I would absolutely not return lol. Fool me once...

Comes back

At the start of the next episode: I quit

Walks off stage

I wrote a very angry letter, letting them know that I was switching my news source, cancelling Hulu, and in the future, I would pirate their content, and watch it without commercials.

That's three revenue-sucking situations that every network hates, and it worked, they caved.

I also told them that I expect them to hold the line on free speech, and if Trump threatens to remove their FCC license, dare him to do it. That FCC license gives them a responsibility to this nation. Folding like they tried to do is unacceptable.

"It is a decision we made because we felt some of the comments were ill-timed and thus insensitive. We have spent the last days having thoughtful conversations with Jimmy**'s lawyers**, and after those conversations, we reached the decision to return the show on Tuesday."

Edited the original quote to include subtext.

Sept 17th.

Nexstar and Sinclair television station owners condem Kimmel’s statements. They planned to preempt his show replacing it with other programming.

Nexstar ABC Affiliates To Preempt “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” Indefinitely Beginning Tonight

Media giants Nexstar and Sinclair own hundreds of local TV stations, highlighting the significant influence affiliate owners wield over national broadcasters like Disney-owned ABC.

ABC decides to suspend Kimmel’s show indefinitely due to the backlash.

Here is the question. If ABC/Disney reinstate his show, will Nexstar or Sinclair follow through on their promise to preempt his show when it airs effectively killing any ad revenue?

Edit addendum: Sinclair Will Not Air ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’ Upon ABC Return Tuesday

That’s gonna make it hard to sell ad space on the next upfronts.

Key now is getting back to tying Trump to Epstein and Maxwell and call for the unaltered release of the Epstein files which was HIS OWN BROKEN PROMISE.

Keep pushing this message as it is one of the only messages that has induced a modicum of doubt in his core base, let alone swing-voters.

His approval-ratings have now fallen to Jimmy Carter levels, and we can get lower.

More like thoughtful conversations with the financial department...
