this was an EXTORTION SCHEME by Trump. What shareholders should be investigating is how and when Disney made the payoff to Trump.

Disney had no particular reason to want Kimmel off the air. They were put into a vice by Trump's exportation at the same time Sinclair and friends were attacking. Disney made a strategic decision to temporarily take Kimmell down with the hope that public outrage would get Disney out of their vice.

After all, regardless of Kimmel, DIsney has a strong interest in NOT having the government dictate their programming. IMHO, they played their cards smartly. And they might decide to make it easy for the shareholders to expose Trump's extortion scheme. THey may actually be welcoming this shareholder action. They can do serious harm to Trump without being the bad guys. They can take the position, "Hey, what were we supposed to do? This was an extortionist holding us up for ransom."

Kimmel was not fired 30 days ago. 3.36 pc or 1.6 pc or 2 pc up or down is normal for 30 days or 5 days or 8 days. . nt Bernardo de La Paz Sep 25 #12
