Howard Stern Cancels Disney+ Subscription Due to Jimmy Kimmel Suspension
Howard Stern is taking a stand and canceling his Disney+ subscription in solidarity with late-night host Jimmy Kimmel. Kimmel’s show, “Jimmy Kimmel Live!,” was suspended by ABC after Kimmel made controversial comments. The Federal Communications Commission, along with pressure from President Donald Trump, played a role in ABC’s decision.
Stern, known for his outspokenness and past clashes with the FCC, spoke out against the move, calling it a threat to freedom of speech. He emphasized that it’s not about personal opinions or ratings but about the government attempting to silence voices it disagrees with.
Kimmel’s remarks about the MAGA movement and Trump’s response to a tragic event drew criticism and led to the suspension of his show. Stern, echoing concerns about government interference in media, expressed his support for Kimmel and emphasized the importance of protecting democracy and freedom of speech.
This incident has sparked protests and discussions around censorship and the role of the government in media. Stern’s decision to cancel his Disney+ subscription is a symbolic gesture in support of free expression and against possible government overreach in media.
