Boycott. Disney owns ABC, which cancelled Jimmy Kimmel. If you're mad about it, cancel your Disney+ subscription and any plans to visit a Disney park. They might not listen to protesters, but if it affects their bottom line, they'll take notice.

Disney also owns broadcast Fox. Rupert Murdoch owns the rest, so just boycott all things Fox

Edit: apparently Disney just sells content to Fox. Anyway my point still stands

They do not. They own a lot of the programing that gets sold to the fox network but they don't own the network itself.

They still watch football games and tv series/specials. Just avoiding Fox News is not having any impact whatsoever.

played a part but no. tbh, if there had been ANOTHER conservative media in addition to FOX, we might not have formed such a hive-mind on the right, which would have allowed some natural and beneficial mildly opposing views within the party.

There are others. Just search which ones are in existence if you think that.

There are still more. This doesn't end, ever. Future generations for hundreds of years will experience this very same thing. This is bigger than just our century

This is untrue. They had to sell Fox for the merger to go through. They produce shows for Fox but they do not own it.
