Trump's attacks on Kimmel and ABC put him at odds with high-profile conservatives

After Disney took Kimmel off the air at ABC, some Trump allies worried the threat of regulating speech was taking it too far — and that conservatives could be next.

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.

And it's not just Trump, the fascist right supports Trump's attack on the First Amendment and freedom of the press.

We attack blatant lies when the leftists take advantage of "free speech" to spread lies.

You guys love blatant lies. Remember when Trump said Haitians were eating people’s cats and dogs?

You all loved that shit.

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?

The decision Disney would defend is NOT firing Kimmel.

Slow down, professor.

Have we ever had a president who punished a company for NOT firing an employee? trump is a Moron.

Sad that Kimmel used that moment to try and disparage conservatives.

Kimmel is cheap-shot artist who hides behind a monologue that does the dirty work for him.

You still never have.

I hope you don't watch and predictive shows. Your fuses would be all over the living room floor.

That was certainly no lie.

 

[Yarddog]

Oh no!

TV man sad mean words!

His show is built around that, so nothing wrong with simply pointing out who he is. Why should anyone feel sorry for Kimmel? It’s not like he took a bullet or was a victim. He’s very well to do.

 

[Rawley]

You hate the free press, don't you? Most Magats do.

Nah, we hate propaganda. unlike you maggots, who live on it.

 

[EvilCat Breath]

So far, there's no legal battle. Trump has done nothing to Disney. This is one more thing democrats are doing to advance their cause of violence.
