I've been involved in something like this, and now ABC is put in the same position and it's unfortunate that ABC even has to be in this position."
"They shouldn't have to be in this position. I feel for them too, in this. But someone's gotta step up and f*cking say, Hey, enough, we're not gonna bow.' Now it might sound stupid, but the thing I did this morning, I'm canceling my Disney+. I'm trying to say with the pocketbook that I do not support what they're doing with Jimmy."
ABC suspended a late-night comedian after he made comments about Charlie Kirk's shooter. The Federal Communications Commission chair raised the prospect of pursuing regulatory remedies if the network did not discipline the comedian, suggesting suspension as a possible path. A prominent broadcaster condemned government interference in media speech, described such intervention as wrong for the country, and vowed a consumer boycott of the company's streaming service. Another late-night commentator criticized the company's chief executive and executives for allowing the suspension, calling them cowards who prioritized money, convenience, or comfort over principle.
