    I will lose all respect for Kimmel and refuse to watch him if he accepts their proposal to make an apology and donation. Nothing he said warrants that. Plus unless he switches to constantly kissing Trump & MEGA asses, they will be trying to shut him down again in the near future. Unless Trump is gone, all US media will soon be propaganda only. Maybe he can get picked up in the UK or EU or Canada instead.

      The one consideration he should have is making sure his writers and crew have jobs. Jimmy himself will be fine, but that’s not true of all of them.

      Which is why it’s important that the WGA has put out a statement of support.

      If anyone is about to reply “it doesn’t matter unless they’re willing to strike”, please go read up on how unions operate first. A strike is your big gun, and you don’t bring it out on a whim.

      I read somewhere (unconfirmed but I’m hopeful) that Kimmel is suing Disney for $1 BILLION over this.

      Wasn’t TELLING him to donate a considerable amount extortion? No one merely suggested he make a contribution. Hmm. I think Kimmel’s lawyers won’t let him accept their proposal.
