Former Disney CEO Michael Eisner opposed “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” And he called this step “another example of intimidation out of control”.
On Friday, Eisner asked on Friday why business and academic leaders did not speak to defense of a free speech. “Where did all the management go? If not for university presidents, partners’ management and managers who stand against the bullets, who will then step on the first amendment? (SIC),” he wrote.
He also criticized the pressure on Disney Brendan Carr, chairman of the Federal Commission for Communication (FCC), after notes Kimmel did about the shooting of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. “Suspension of indefinitely” Jimmy Kimmel immediately after the chairman of the aggressive but hollow Disney is another example of intimidation out of control (sic), “Eisner wrote.
Eisner added: “On the way, for the record, this ex-general director finds Jimmy Kimmel very talented and funny.”
Why was Kimmel suspended?
ABC announced on Tuesday that Kimmel was taken away from Charlie Kirk’s shooting after his comments. During his monologue, Kimmel accused “Maga Gang” of “desperately efforts to characterize the child who murdered Charlie Kirk like anything else than one of them.”
FCC chairman Brendan Carr later said that Kimmel “seemed to directly mention the American public directly” and threatened against Disney. Kimmel has not yet commented on the decision.
Eisner, who managed Disney between 1984 and 2005 during the so -called “Disney Renaissance” with films like The Little Mermaid and The Lion King, is the most important former Disney leader to consider controversy.
