Also FX? No more Sunny, or Wrexham. Fuck the house of the mouse.

Didn't this come from Sinclair media, the notoriously right wing, massive media conglomerate?

I'm not sure how it works, and not saying Disney isn't partially to blame.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_stations_owned_or_operated_by_Sinclair_Broadcast_Group

Sinclair is the "ABC Affiliate stations".

From Wikipedia (Jimmy Kimmel): On September 17, 2025, ABC suspended Jimmy Kimmel Live indefinitely after Kimmel's remarks regarding the MAGA movement's reaction to the assassination of Charlie Kirk drew threats from FCC chair Brendan Carr and an announcement from station owner Nexstar that its ABC-affiliated stations were dropping the program "for the foreseeable future".[5]

Reaching a real person at any of these companies' call centers will cost the company real money.

(It can also hurt the statistics of the call center employee, so it's morally wishy-washy)

Sell any shares if you have them as well.

Xactly. Tis a scam. His grandpa was a pimp & grifter. So was his dad. Matter o' fact, his g'pops certainly made his fortune next to Ruzzia. Odd. Something something, rhymes with Krasnov.

To those of you that are canceling Disney+ and looking for animation alternatives, might I suggest anime, (Japanese animation, some based on comics.) Give crunchyroll a try.

might want to check out these alternatives also

[–] Harbinger01173430@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

I pirate their series because it's cheaper.

Boycotts on their own are not effective. They are more of a sprinkling addition to a full fledged program that includes more heavy duty tactics.

Sorry I don't know what have Disney done in particular. I've already seen something on it but *I can't understand what happened. * I'm sorry for my ignorance. Hoping someone will answer,

Bonne soirée.. Autumn V.

Jimmy Kimmel made a comment about how the MAGA gang was spinning the shooting of Charlie Kirk as a politically-motivated assassination by "Democrats", when the shooter themselves was part of said MAGA gang and was not, in actual fact, a Democrat.

In response, the FCC threatened ABC and encouraged TV broadcast stations to exclude their programming, and so ABC indefinitely suspended Jimmy Kimmel's show in response.

That just about sums it up briefly.
