Check out all of the Disney media subsidiaries and tell me how likely you think a boycott will be.

I suppose it might depend on whether you want to live in a free country or not.  You choose.

RTF and journalism majors should be prepared to move overseas to find work. 

If there is no serious pushback on this from Republicans and their voters, we're officially cooked.

Well, you could avoid going through any legitimate Disney/ABC/ESPN channel.  Have your cake and eat it too.

This is the only way

It's not going to get better.  It will only get worse after Paramount gets approval to acquire WB/Discovery, including CNN.

Bent knees everywhere.  Constitution in full tatters.

Let’s be honest, boycotting watching arch isn’t that big of a sacrifice. 

Ztejas doesn’t appreciate your attitude.

Jimmy said keep your “it’s over” out of his thread. I think we should. Not because it isn’t over, it totally is, but because we should have at least one thread where we see what it would’ve been like to show real fight before it was over.

I don't even watch Kimmel, but I cancelled my ESPN / Disney+/ Hulu bundle.  They can get fucked.

I feel like I should be wearing tin foil, but this latest incident in which ABC capitulated to Nextstar's threats regarding Jimmy Kimmel's comments about Charlie Kirk's death seems too much.  I think Americans need to step up and say enough is enough.  You don't want to lose Nextstar?  OK, you lose us.  We're not watching ABC.

I have no idea how such a boycott could be implemented but it is beyond time for Americans to push back on these corporate bully tactics at the highest level.  They are only concerned with the bottom line, and have no regard for what used to be at least some level of journalistic integrity.  Fight fire with fire -- I don't know what the numbers would have to be, but (in this case) if viewership were to plummet by some level similar to Nextstar's subscriber base, well that would say something.

I just don't know how it might happen.  But, we put a fucking man on the moon.  I don't know, thoughts?  And please, stifle the "it's over" bullshit.  To quote General McAuliffe . . . "nuts".

 

 

So many calls to action are shot down by people claiming it won't work, so why try. Trying at least helps you get to sleep at night.

I'm glad you started the thread. It's encouraging to me generally, and I mean it.

There should be no more talk of liberal media. All media and even social media are now owned by radical republicans.

Agreed, thank you! People need to be doing everything they can. Also, make sure to attend the next #NoKings protest October 18... bring your friends: https://www.nokings.org/

I’ll never get over us throwing away this country for Donald fucking Trump.

At least now we're doing it for Donald Trump AND Charlie Kirk. So that's an improvement, I guess.

From what I saw, Kimmel's comments were more directed at the administration and not Charlie Kirk himself. So that's fun too.

Bingo

You can get rid of your Disney subscription. They'll feel that if enough people do it.

I love Disney plus, but I find myself just using it to watch nostalgic movies from when I grew up and Star Wars. I can watch espn using my maga in law’s YouTube tv.
 

Hulu I watch like twice a month. 

Cancelling Disney and Hulu tonight.

10, 20, hell forever years from now, you will still hear the phrase "mainstream media" uttered by any and all GOP.

Cut the cable after last year's season. We only subscribe to Netflix. And that might be on the chopping next, because its all shit. 

I haven't watched a single football game, except Friday Night Lights, this year. Although I will be going to the game this Saturday, but that will probably be the last one. 

Fuck em all.

I had actually been meaning for two years to cancel the dumbass Disney plus sub I have for no reason but had just never bothered to find it. Done. They also picked the wrong college football season to FAFO. Torturing myself with Ohio state, ou, and the agros being better than us is not difficult to let go of.

Pritzker is on Psaki talking about it right now.

Side note: Just by looking at him you know he's a Bears fan, without knowing who he is or where he's from.
