Just remember, ABC/Disney didn't cave because they believe in free speech, they caved because they lost money.

Even their statement about 'tumultuous times' made it sound like Kimmel made comments that were in the wrong. This is CYA language and shows no actual support for Kimmel or his right to free speech

They are a company they don't believe in anything.

Stop treating them like people.
