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.
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.
As OP said, I doubt Kimmel viewers would let him accept it either.
It's lose on all fronts if he does.
I read somewhere (unconfirmed but I’m hopeful) that Kimmel is suing Disney for $1 BILLION over this.
Anything that causes the Walt Disney Company to lose money is a good thing.
You can ask for however much you want in a lawsuit. It's fiction.
Yeah but he can probably get a lot. His entire brand has been destroyed by the government, this is some China-level shit. Bet he could get 300M easily.
Maaaybe? It's all hypothetical as we don't even know what he would sue for.
In the US. Other countries have better civil laws.
How? I'm saying you can ask for eleventy-billion dollars but that doesn't mean you'll get anything close to that or you might get more.
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'm struggling to think of a situation that's more deserving of a strike than what is happening right now.
Don't look to us to solve your self-inflicted problems for you.
We're already too busy protecting ourselves from the chaos of the USA's implosion.
Trump’s the outward facing person.
