Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News

Dan Gilroy: As one of the writers on the Disney+ drama Andor, we spent six years thinking about a fascist takeover of a galaxy far, far away. Six years thinking about ordinary beings as an authoritarian regime comes in for the kill. Many people saw parallels between Andor and the real world. I see them as well, particularly in the events of the last week.

"Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that." Looking forward to seeing Jimmy back on the air.

Donald Trump's tools of governance, coercion and intimidation, have found focus on Hollywood. Faced with a social media firestorm, fear, and an FCC head threatening "they can do this the easy way or hard way," Disney suspended Jimmy Kimmel for speaking his mind. I deeply disagree but acknowledge it was a difficult decision. If you believe otherwise, wait until fate knocks on your door and demands you choose between conscience and hardship--because if you work in this industry that day is coming.

The suspension bought time, but not much. Disney now stands at a crossroads: terminate Kimmel's contract and become pavement for the road to a brave new Trumpian world; or stand for the First Amendment and take the onslaught. There's not much at stake, just free speech, the oxygen that sustains life in this town.

This is how far maga has sunk and how far vistard has gone off the rails.

Supporting a "war with Disney".

A quintessential American company that embodies and promotes values often associated with the American experience, such as optimism, innovation, and the entrepreneurial spirit.
