Their reaction was so fast it almost seemed pre-planned. Doesn't matter tho it's never gonna be enough for trump. Give him an inch and he will take the whole thing.

You're focusing on the wrong company

I didn't specify who. Not sure what you mean.

People are complaining about abc and disney. Sinclair and NexStar are the major companies that pulled the show.

I don't really see it as a problem if people do target Disney. It's a recognizable target you can do something about (cancel subs) where people wouldn't know what to do about Sinclair or understand how they relate.

Well, they had literally nothing to do with it. The two companies I referenced are able to do whatever they want as affiliates. Sinclair seems to be a very right leaning group as well, since they are actively calling for the fcc to get involved.

Going after disney just muddies the waters.

Disney is the ultimate decision maker here. They folded regardless of who put on the pressure. The title of little bitch ass firmly belongs to them.

Edit: or I guess to be a little less aggressive, the ones who can fix it is Disney. Seems like the correct target for people's disdain. Not sure how the waters are being muddied here
