Robert Reich tells us The real reason Jimmy Kimmel returned on the air:

“Jimmy Kimmel Live!” ABC says! He will return to the air waves next Tuesday – less than a week after Trump Brendan Car, Chairman of the Federal Communications Committee, in one of the podcasts that Kimmil’s notes were part of a “concerted effort to lie to the American people” and that he would “do this”, indicating that the seed and watered, remove it or “. A license.

Why does Walt Disney turned? That day explained:

“Last Wednesday, we made a decision to suspend production at the exhibition to avoid more amplification in a tense position in an emotional moment for our country. It is a decision that we made because we felt that some comments were not sensitive and thus.”

But now, apparently, everything is fine.

“We have spent the last days of studied talks with Jimmy, and after these talks, we reached the decision to re -display on Tuesday.”

How beautiful is. How is it reasonable. How, well, compass. All it took was some “studied conversations with Jimmy” and everything returned to normal life.

Do not believe it. In the days after ABC’s decision, the reaction against Disney was the level of the hurricane.

At least five Hollywood unions, combined more than 400,000 workers, have publicly condemned the company.

The Screenwriter Union criticized what they called “Co -Cheese” and organized a protest last week outside the main gate at the Disney headquarters in Bourbank, California.

Celebrities Tom Hanks and Mierell Strip Call “Governmental threats to our freedom of expression.”

Kimmel was supported by his peers late at night, including Stephen Kulbert, Jimmy Fallon, Seth Maires, John Oliver, as well as former hosts at night David Litrman, Conan O’Brien, and Jay Lino-all of them criticized the decision.

Damon Lindlaov, a “Lost” originator of ABC, said that if Kimmel is no longer the comment, he could not “work the good conscience of the company he imposed.”

Michael Eisner, former CEO of Disney, issued a rare reprimand.

Even the right -wing Republican Senator Ted Cruz expressed his concern, similar to the comments of Car for the head of the mob and called on his threats to take revenge on the media companies “dangerous like hell”.

“We should not be in this work,” said Cruz. “We must be shown.”

By this morning, Car himself was busy with reducing his role – and he denies that he threatened to withdraw the licenses of ABC stations (“” did not happen in any way, shape, or shape “)) – and claimed that Disney had taken a” commercial decision “in response to viewers’ comments and subsidiaries.

“Jimmy Kimmel is in the situation he is going through because of his classifications, not because of anything that happened at the level of the federal government,” Car said.

But the most intense pressure came we – Disney viewers and customers – who immediately started canceling the contributions to Disney+ and Hulu and threatening to boycott the wider consumer.

Some stars like Tatiana Maslany (Marvel’s Disney+ Series “She-Hulk: Attorney in Law“)) Rosie Odonel urged people to cancel their subscriptions.

But it seems that the consumer boycott has almost started immediately.

according to Power in numbersThe search for Disney+was higher than the boycott movements when Disney woke up in 2020-2022. According to research interests, Disney County soon has become like any boycott over the past five years.

Shortly after the announcement of Kimmel’s comment, Disney’s share fell by 3.5 percent and continued to trade in subsequent days.

This loss of market value was about 4 billion dollars.

Investors knew that consumers are consumer. There is no one reason in favor of ascending and landing in the value of a specific company of shares, but the relationship here was almost accurate.

The bottom line: we You have an extraordinary power. He was The vast majority. Like every other big company, Disney depends on we.

Even if we cannot rely on elected politicians to protect the rights of the first amendment, we can rely on ourselves. When our anger translates to blocking our consumer dollars, a large company like Disney has to listen – and respond.

Remember this.
