Sorry but the fact is a government agency (the FCC) pushed for this. This is a completely different thing than Disney deciding to do it on its own.

This is a 1st amendment issue.

Which is completely different from when leftists go "we're 'cancelling' this through individual boycott" which a lot of people in this comment section seem to be missing or intentionally misrepresenting.

Calling harassing employers to get someone fired ‘individual boycott’ is blatantly bad faith.

It took 2 seconds after Jimmy and a few others meanwhile the right has been screaming about cancel culture for 10 years and didn't call it a 1st amendment issue. Lol

From https://variety.com/2025/tv/news/brendan-carr-abc-fcc-jimmy-... :

> Appearing on Benny Johnson’s podcast on Wednesday, Carr suggested that the FCC has “remedies we can look at.”

> “We can do this the easy way or the hard way,” Carr said. “These companies can find ways to change conduct and take action, frankly, on Kimmel or there’s going to be additional work for the FCC ahead.”

An absolutely unmistakable direct threat from the chairman of the FCC.
