Part 2/10:
The controversy surrounding late-night host Jimmy Kimmel took center stage, after he made incendiary comments linking Charlie Kirk to the assassination of a political figure. The backlash was swift: advertisers pulled their support, and networks like NextStar and Sinclair pulled Kimmel’s show. Public sentiment, amplified by social media, quickly labeled it as a "free speech" issue. Many speculated that this incident caused a significant drop in Disney+ subscribers, with Entertainment Weekly citing a loss of roughly 3 million subscribers following Kimmel's suspension.
