    I just canceled mine because I never use it. I'd been meaning to for months but just let it ride. Ultimately, I dont watch Jimmy Kimmel, and his firing isn't what put the idea in my head, but it was enough to motivate me to follow through on what I'd been thinking about doing for a year or more.

    I appreciate nobody at Disney+ (or anywhere else for that matter) will ever care, but i feel better for having done it.

    Yeah only for the POTUS to demand they lose their broadcasting license and less than a week he gets his show canceled. But who cares what fhe president demands huh. Its not like the president has any power.

    The amount of sane washing that MAGA do on behalf of their cult leader is sincerely CRAZY

    The FCC chair said literally today, "“We can do this the easy way or the hard way,” Carr said on Benny Johnson’s Benny Show podcast Wednesday afternoon. “These companies can find ways to change conduct and take action, frankly, on Kimmel — or there’s going to be additional work for the FCC ahead.”

    How do you not have any shame.


    The FCC is literally demanding it

    “These companies can find ways to change conduct and take actions on Kimmel, or there’s going to be additional work for the FCC ahead.”

    And you're still claiming its not state sponsored canceled? Are you being paid by the WH? Seriously what the hell is wrong with you

    these shows like Colbert and Kimmel are dinosaurs from a long gone time of three channels. Their salaries and budgets are outrageous and for the last 10 years they have alienated half the country even further reducing their literally dying audience.

    This is the excuse they were looking for to cut a loser of a format. Compare whatever they replace this show with to Kimmel in budget. You know this is all about money DD.

    There is nothing he said that wasn't true, or was in any way any worse than day to day chatter.

    NOTHING in that at all.

    The FCC literally demanded ABC pull Kimmel of face consequences from the government. You can keep making up conspiracies in your head but they canceled Kimmel bcz the FCC demanded it

    Well the threat of being shut down by the FCC would be an even bigger loss financially.

    Who cares that the government is forcing corporations to fire individuals they deem bad? You think this stops at ABC? You dont think the government will pressure youtube and others to do the same?

    Delusional
