Disney is 'confident it will win' coming legal battle with Trump over Jimmy Kimmel: report

The Walt Disney Company is reportedly gearing up for a potential legal battle with President Donald Trump's administration over the reinstatement of late night host Jimmy Kimmel (who was briefly suspended last week).

That's according to a Wednesday article in Bloomberg, which reported that inside sources at the company have already started consulting legal experts about what a protracted war in the courts with the White House could look like. Bloomberg's sources told the outlet that Disney is "confident it will win" in the event it has to go toe-to-toe with Trump.

Think for a minute. Here is the president of the United States who is going to take legal action against a private US company that is returning a show on free TV that he does not like. Is this North Korea? Is this Russia? Can you imagine Obama demanding a talk show that ridicules him be taken off the air and then sues to see it stays off? Repubs would be screaming for his head on a platter.

Disney will spend millions of dollars defending their decision while trump will spend millions of dollars of tax payer's money to try and smash a private US company. But Disney needs to stand up. This is a lot bigger than just Jimmy Kimmel. This is an Autocrat against the First Amendment.

I'm calling the OP bullshit.
The Federal government has no legal basis to require that a company fire anyone.
Got a link proving your claim?

He believes it is fact because his sister's, neighbor's, dog groomer's, cousin's, fiance said so.

Actually, I can imagine Obama, Biden or Camelbreath taking Gutfeld and all of Fox off. In fact, they did get many conservative persons and groups off Google, YouTube, Facebook and others banned. Google now has to reinstate them. If Disney wants to win, they have to decide to make sure Kimmel and others aren't inciting to violence against political foes and people like Charlie Kirk. What Kimmel did was incite violence towards Trump and MAGA to kill more MAGA and Trump. The FCC has authority over this.

So your post says he's going to take legal action. Right....you said LEGAL.

That means it goes to court. They decide if it has merit. If it does not, then it goes nowhere.

Right....LEGAL action. That's plenty O.K.

North Korea or Russia would simply arrest all the executives and Kimmel and that would be the end of it. Nobody gets a say.

LEGAL ACTION is something taken every day.

What is wrong with you?

Are you really that stupid?

I can't see that show having the same number of viewers that it used to have. It may be back on TV now, but I won't be surprised if its days are numbered again.

God bless you always!!!

What legal action? He was suspended, you have to go to YouTube to see any clips now cause o stations are showing it

And the clips…geez he looks and sounds pathetic. He’s done

That is BS. A joke does not incite violence....but J6.

Stick to the point Troll.

This is your thread and you have not supported your assertions. At all.

You are making stuff up.

 

[HikerGuy83]

Get a clue, fool.

In those places the army marches in and pulls the power on the show.

Let us know when the army shows up at ABC's door. I'll be the first into the street to protest that.

Until then, why don't you extract your head, and comment on what is really happening. Not what your masters fax you and tell you to look stupid defending.

 

[HikerGuy83]

trump is going to find a way to punish Disney.

When you find it, let us know.

It was a business decision and he's coming back on the air because they lost viewership.

My guess is they will lose viewership from a different demographic.

I've watched Kimmel a handful of times. I can't tell what his appeal is. But it's up to ABC, not Trump if he stays or goes. Business decision.

 

[Yarddog]

"We can do this the easy way or the hard way." Carr, the mouthpiece of trump. Grow a brain...

ABC had an onslaught of complaints from their other stations. It was a business decision. Kimmel has the right to say whatever he wants, no one ever took that away from him. But his company had every right to suspend or fire him over crude comments.
Another person actuallly had his life taken away for standing up for Freedom of Speech. Sad that Kimmel used that moment to try and disparage conservatives.

Some would believe today that if Kamala Harris had won the election, TPUSA, Charlie Kirk and others would have been arrested and in jail along with other MAGA conservatives for speaking out and committing sedition.
