"Disney is in a tangled web of its own making. In just one week, the entertainment giant managed to anger both sides of the political spectrum, and then topped it all off with a Disney Plus price hike that made just about everyone mad. Now, Disney's facing criticism from all sides, and it may struggle to patch its relationship with many of its viewers."
"Disney's recent troubles started when it suspended Jimmy Kimmel's late-night talk show after the host commented on the response to Charlie Kirk's death in one of his monologues. Kimmel said MAGA supporters tried to "score political points" by characterizing the suspect "as anything other than one of them" at a time when his political motivations were highly muddled. His comments outraged conservative and right-wing social media users, with Elon Musk calling Kimmel "disgusting.""
Disney angered both the left and the right within a single week. The company suspended Jimmy Kimmel's late-night talk show after a monologue about the response to Charlie Kirk's death. Kimmel said MAGA supporters tried to "score political points" by characterizing the suspect "as anything other than one of them" while motivations remained unclear. Conservative and right-wing social media users reacted with outrage, and Elon Musk called Kimmel "disgusting." Federal Communications Commission Chair Brendan Carr signaled potential FCC intervention. Disney also implemented a Disney Plus price increase, generating broad viewer anger and straining relationships with its audience.
