Hollywood needs to boycott ABC

I believe Jimmy is well liked in Hollywood for many reasons. He is a generous friend and has helped lots of folks out.

All of his celebrity friends over 20+ years need to pressure ABC. At a minimum, no more press or interviews on any ABC shows until Jimmy is reinstated.

Solidarity among all free speech advocates, including those in the entertainment industry, is needed now more than ever.

Trump will install thought police on all tv and movie sets in the not too distant future.

A boycott for ABC and a boycott for their sponsors. Follow the money. I’m furious about this move.

I think SAG should get involved with a strike.
Pulling the show means everyone working on that show has lost their job.

On this path, I believe they will simply make themselves irrelevant. Kimmel will most likely get a show on one of the streaming networks and the abc/nbc/cbs networks will lose viewership and a crap ton of money. There are so many other places to get information. Who needs these networks anymore?

CBS has shit for prime time programming.

NBC has a bunch of boring "talent" shows. Hubby watches NBC. During the day there is the Today show, the local Today show, Noon News, more news, then Judge Judy and a few more.

they never tell you about antennas during carriage disputes, just other providers or their own apps

It's pretty fucking simple.

Nothing will change! The racism, fascism, misogyny, hatred, and white supremacy...NONE OF IT...will change, unless and until we make racism, fascism, misogyny, hatred and white supremacy UNPROFITABLE to the corporations, businesses and individuals that fund and enable it.

No singing, no dancing and I do not give a damn who wants to be a millionaire!

No cop or doctor shows and no lawyers.

I'm happy with YouTube and reruns.
