Ok @msnbc.com you want to keep showing coverage of the Kirk thing? Someone who spread hate speech, thought that African-Americans were less than as well as women and the gay community. It’s time for me to watch something else today. Alex Witt disappointing. Mentioning it? Fine but not this coverage

Exactly! Report on things that are important. Not the constant garbage.

Nexstar wanted their merger. Kimmel had to go ( per Trump administrations FCC) in order for them to get it. Yeah follow the money…. Boycott NEXSTAR and ABC

The only way to make them listen is through our combined purchasing power. Even if you don't do it permanently at least cancel for a month just to send a message on this matter alone. Show them red next quarter at a minimum. #CancelDisney+ #CancelHulu #ForJimmy

The executives at Disney/ABC guessed (wrongly) that they would lose less money by enabling Trump than by pissing off its customers. This is why I call on everyone to #CancelDisney+ and #CancelHulu until Disney/ABC realize that it's in their financial interest to fight Trump's fascist regime

I’m not sure who deserves more disdain and disgust: Trump and the FCC for their blatant violation of the Constitution or Disney and Nexstar for sacrificing their values and folding to a wannabe Mob Boss.

It was Jimmy Kimmel tonight, but dare to criticize the president and it could be you tomorrow.

The WGA’s statement on ABC’s decision to pull “Jimmy Kimmel Live!”

WGA Statement on ABC’s Decision to Pull Jimmy Kimmel Live!

The right to speak our minds and to disagree with each other – to disturb, even – is at the very heart of what it means to be a free people. It is not to be denied. Not by violence, not by the abuse of governmental power, nor by acts of corporate cowardice.

As a Guild, we stand united in opposition to anyone who uses their power and influence to silence the voices of writers, or anyone who speaks in dissent. If free speech applied only to ideas we like, we needn't have bothered to write it into the Constitution. What we have signed on to – painful as it may be at times – is the freeing agreement to disagree.

Shame on those in government who forget this founding truth. As for our employers, our words have made you rich. Silencing us impoverishes the whole world.

The WGA stands with Jimmy Kimmel and his writers.

The 2A killed the First Amendment. @jimmykimmel.com was right. If my memory is correct, these MAGAT's ran against cancel culture. Shame on ABC. My television will never be on ABC again.
