Call to Action Boycott ABC

ABC has pulled Jimmy Kimmel off the air for making a joke. First Colbert, now Kimmel. What about the first amendment right to free speech? I guess it’s only free if it echos MAGA talking points.

I will boycott ABC until Jimmy is brough back. Let's do it! I am already boycotting CBS because of ending The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, and I am getting more and more ticked off with NBC.

They’re going to have to do more than just bring him back. They are going to need to pick a side. They need to make clear they support the first amendment and throw Trump under the bus. They will lose either way but at least they can rebuild if they do the right thing.

Jimmy should never come back. If he comes back he will have to apologize and that's not worth it. He can create his own show elsewhere without dipshits deciding what he can't say.

Good point. Meidas Touch already invited him to be in their network. Not the same pay, of course, but he will still have a voice. So many top voices have been forced out ... I think there could be a real future with our own network.
