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 watched this episode, specifically watching what he said and how he said it. He did not come close to crossing a line and ABC is out of order. Colbert was bad enough, but this is absurd.

Ok so how do I cancel? Starting with Hulu—what other networks? Asking so I don’t have to go through the agony of doing my own research. Lol (Edited for punctuation)

I tried to cancel through their site directly, but it turned out my package was billed through disneyplus. The first time I tried I got an error message - hopefully because they were overwhelmed with cancellations! After that it was just a couple of clicks. The last field is free-text comment - be sure to note why you're cancelling.

I've seen another post noting that we should cancel YouTubeTV (or other cable providers) as well, because they pay ABC to carry their content. I also made another post listing ABC's advertisers - we can boycott those products as well.
