"Robert Reich says that Disney wants us to believe it sat down and had a sweet, little reasonable confab with Jimmy Kimmel, and that's why Disney has brought him back.
As Robert Reich says, this is bulltwat.
Here's what happened:
"Shortly after Kimmel’s suspension was announced, Disney stock dipped about 3.5 percent and continued to trade lower in subsequent days."

"All of this came at a price for Disney. The company’s stock price tanked losing more than $3.8 billion in market value in just the two days after the announcement. The message was clear: 'Consumers were exercising their own First Amendment rights and ending their subscriptions to the company’s streaming services,' as Susan Campbell, a media studies professor at the University of New Haven in Connecticut told Reuters."

"We were a bigger threat than the Trump Regime. Early on, it was clear to me that we were a bigger headache to Disney than Trump, Sinclair, and Nextar. The volume of Disney+ and Hulu cancellations, before anyone could organize a formal boycott, was staggering."

"As was the outpouring online. Consumers caused Disney’s shareholders more pain than the Trump Regime. Disney had to respond to our pressure as it was affecting their bottom line."

"If ABC only speaks one language - the language of money - then we need to communicate to them in a way they can understand."
William Lindsey :toad:
"If ABC’s executives thought that their decision to capitulate to Trump by canceling Jimmy Kimmel’s program would pass quietly by, they’re being taught a quick lesson to the contrary. A massive movement to boycott the company and its properties has emerged, including at the hands of actors who themselves star in Disney properties."

"In Strength in Numbers, G. Elliott Morris noted that as measured by internet searches for 'Cancel Disney+,'' the boycott against Disney, the parent company of ABC, is now four times as large as any similar search of a boycott over the past five years."

"Let’s be clear: Kimmel’s return is a victory for the resistance in its defense of the Constitution.
The victory teaches us a powerful lesson that we must internalize and replicate at every opportunity: Together, there is nothing we cannot do."

"Even if we can’t count on our elected politicians to protect our First Amendment rights, we can rely on ourselves. When our outrage translates into withholding our consumer dollars, a big corporation like Disney is forced to listen — and respond.
Remember this."
William Lindsey :toad:
"That loss in market value has amounted to about $4 billion.
Investors knew consumers were upset. There’s never one single reason for the ups and downs in the value of a particular firm’s shares of stock, but the correlation here has been almost exact.
The bottom line: We have extraordinary power. We’re the vast majority. Like every other big corporation, Disney relies on us."
