The high-stakes political cage match these days is not between the Democratic Party and the Trump administration; that’s a sideshow.  No, the real power stakes are much more personal; the President against the corporate media chieftains.

 

That’s what the Jimmy Kimmel confrontation was all about.  Disney well understands that Mr. Kimmel has a deep loathing for Mr. Trump and uses his program to try to hurt him.  There’s nothing funny about that, and all the “what aboutisms” in the world cannot justify the ceaseless attacks.

 

So, when Kimmel tried to blame Trump supporters for Charlie Kirk’s murder, an incredibly irresponsible assertion, Disney CEO Bob Iger was forced to suspend the comedian.

 

Iger, as woke as they come, thought the callousness of Kimmel’s remarks would protect him.

 

Wrong.

 

As I exclusively reported last week, Hollywood talent agencies almost immediately threatened Iger.  The Wall Street Journal picked up on my reporting yesterday.  If Iger didn’t put Kimmel back on the air, many showbiz people would no longer work with Disney.

 

This is how the entertainment industry works in America. Tow the leftist line or else.  President Trump is none too pleased. Expect retaliation.

 

See you this evening for the No Spin News.
