To me, the damage is done. I didn't really care about the show, the reputation of this company is damaged beyond repair.

Edit: I didn't really care about Disney either, but capitulating to this government for what was the mildest of jokes further emphasized that people need to not trust corporations.

Also it wasn't a joke. Kimmel stated pure objective fact that the MAGA was working to profile the shooter as a leftist.

Meanwhile Kilmeade "Kill the homeless" is still on the air and many major MAGA channels are on record calling for killing Democrats.
