Howard Stern Cancels Disney+ to Support Jimmy Kimmel and Stands Against Government Influence

Howard Stern made headlines recently when he announced that he is canceling his Disney+ subscription in solidarity with Jimmy Kimmel. Kimmel was suspended from ABC for making false claims about Charlie Kirk’s alleged assassin, and Stern is taking a stand against the network’s decision.

On his radio show, Stern expressed his disappointment in ABC’s handling of the situation, stating that someone needs to step up and say, ‘Hey, enough, we’re not gonna bow.’ He emphasized his support for Kimmel by canceling his Disney+ subscription, hoping to show that he does not agree with ABC’s actions.

Stern is not alone in his protest, as other celebrities such as Cynthia Nixon and Noah Centineo have also publicly canceled their Disney+ subscriptions in support of Kimmel. It remains to be seen if average Americans will follow suit or if these actions are simply Hollywood publicity stunts.

While some may see Stern’s actions as anti-establishment, it’s worth noting that he has been vocal about government issues in the past. Despite his previous calls for government crackdowns during COVID-19, Stern now claims he will never “bow” to government pressure.

It is important to remember that there is still no evidence that the government forced Kimmel’s suspension. ABC took action after Kimmel refused to retract his false claims and planned to tie the violence to MAGA before his next broadcast. Kimmel’s suspension includes full pay, so the idea that he is a targeted victim may be exaggerated.

Overall, Stern’s decision to cancel Disney+ in support of Kimmel highlights his stance on the issue. Whether this will lead to broader action from subscribers or is just a symbolic gesture remains to be seen.
