Disney brings Jimmy Kimmel’s spectacle after the counterpoups stimulated a massive boycott while some conservatives castigated the FCC

The reversal of the media and entertainment giant comes after Kimmel supporters pushed a boycott of Disney’s content, products and themed parks.

“Last Wednesday, we made the decision to suspend production in the show in order to avoid igniting a tense situation at an emotional moment for our country. This is a decision that we made because we estimated that some of the comments were poorly invented and therefore insensitive,” said society in a statement. “We spent the last days to have thoughtful conversations with Jimmy, and after these conversations, we made the decision to return the show on Tuesday.”

In addition to Disney’s customers, the best preservatives criticized the FCC for suggesting that it would take regulatory measures against media companies to broadcast Kimmel’s program.

The Republican senators Ted Cruz and Rand Paul said that although they do not agree with what Kimmel said about Kirk, the comments of the President of the FCC risked the violation of freedom of expression.

During his show last Monday, Kimmel criticized what he called the “Gang Maga” to “desperately try to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as something other than one of them and do everything they can to score political points.”

Subsequently, but before ABC draws the show, the president of the FCC, Brendan Carr, called Kimmel’s comments “really sick” and hinted at the regulatory action against the network and Disney, warning “we can do it the easy way or we can do it.”

Nexstar Media Group, which has 32 ABC affiliation stations and pursues a merger of $ 6.2 billion with TEGNA requiring FCC approval, announced that it would preempt the program “in the foreseeable future”.

Sinclair Broadcasting, the largest ABC affiliation group in the country, also removed the show and asked Kimmel to apologize to the Kirk family and makes a “substantial personal gift” and Turning Point USA.

After Kimmel’s suspension, Carr later said to CNBC that “we haven’t finished yet”.

But Disney attracted the flak to get to pressure. Protesters appeared outside the headquarters of Burbank, California, while the angry users of Disney + and Hulu have flooded social media accounts and customer service pages.

The Internet has enlightened with users sharing screenshots of the subscriptions canceled in streaming services belonging to Disney or the holidays canceled at Disney Properties. Then celebrities – and even actors who worked before Disney – went around.

In addition, Marisa Tomei, who played Aunt May Spider films distributed by Sony as well as Avengers Disney films have republished Disney platforms “unsubscribe and boycott”.

This followed other talents threatening to turn away from Disney. The writer and producer Damon Lindelof, whose show Lost Ran on ABC, expressed his solidarity with Kimmel and said that he hoped that the suspension of his show would soon be lifted.

“If this is not the case, I cannot in good conscience for the company that imposed it,” he added.
