Mrs. Betty Bowers lays a truth bomb on ABC

[catbyte]

DISNEY: "OK, we are putting Jimmy Kimmel back on the air. You can resubscribe now."

ME: "I unsubscribed because you immorally bowed to fascism. I'm not going to resubscribe because you immorally bowed to finances."

1. the beauty is

if the unsubscribers stick to their principles on this, AND repukes unscubscribe because they cannot stand WE THE PEOPLE overriding fascism......WELL THEN

2. Perfect

Apparently Mrs. Betty Bowers isn’t fond of situational ethics.

3. I salute the succinct nature and intelligence of her posts.

Cuts through the fog of confusion nicely, as always.

My less elegant way to say the same: Disney showed it sucks, and nothing can do the un-sucking.

4. Many years ago

I stopped buying gas from Exxon because of the Valdez disaster. And I stopped buying Nike because of their sweatshop ethos.

I don’t know if either company has done things to ameliorate their bad business behaviors. But I have options. So will it be with Disney and ABC. Frankly, if I never watch another superhero movie or another Star Wars movie, I’m not going to lose sleep over that.

5. Nails it.

The bottom is money.

6. some things are unforgivable

suppressing free speech is one as is
fascism
corporate greed
etc

7. My first reaction was similar

I knew a lot of people would not resubscribe because the company already told us who and what they are. How can they be trusted now?

9. We still await what Sinclair will do.

They have big fascist plans for his time slot.

10. Note the advertisements during their broadcasts

And write to tell them you are boycotting their products

They listen

11. Pretty sure we don't access ABC via Nexstar or Sinclair.

Fortunately.
