    Theres a boycott going on right now against disney. Cancel your hulu, disney+, and espn and cite kimmle as your reason for canceling. Let them know doing this will hurt their wallet.

      Yuuuuppp. Show actual solidarity by shutting down entertainment. Make the IATSE workers shut down live music and make Equity shut down Broadway.

        Please. And Colbert too.

        It doesn’t matter if they have backup plans. It doesn’t matter what the two of them decide to do 18 months from now. For now, this behavior from these media companies and our government needs to be stopped and reversed.

    They need to pressure them to break ties with Nexstar and Sinclair. Until then I won’t look at any thing they produce.

      Nexstar and Sinclair have wealthy backers and aren’t worried about profitability. They’re basically the equivalent of ML state media at this point. Truth is irrelevant, messaging for the rulers is their sole purpose. To keep the proletariat misinformed and placated.

      Even Disney ultimately doesn’t care. They’ll just toss ABC aside if it falters. Affiliates are everything to ABCs survival. They can’t win. But they can no longer go out with dignity either.

        leftovers and watchmen are also Lindeloff shows. Mrs Davis was interesting and had some potential but was unfortunately cancelled after one season.

        the guy’s movies are almost all bad but his show creations seem to work for some reason.

    I didn’t care much for Kimmel, but I actively avoid anything Lindelof touches. Fuck that guy.
