I think we can speculate with a high degree of confidence that it won’t influence their profit growth projections.

I wouldn’t be so sure about that, the Disney brand has taken a major hit here. I think it is still impossible to say what it is going to cost them but it will cost them, they certainly aren’t making more money out of this. It is not a situation that makes the line go up, people are absolutely pissed at Disney.

The Disney brand has taken a huge hit because they fired Kimmel, a guy who’s rating were tanking? Lol

Disney made a business decision, and Kimmel approves of them doing that quickly and strongly.

Yes, they have. Being seen to capitulate on free speech has pissed a lot of people off. His ratings are irrelevant, people who hate Kimmel are pissed because it’s not about him specifically.
Your image with the Kimmel quote is a different situation. Businesses are free to make business decisions, that is exactly the problem here. They were not free, and as Trump has reiterated, there’s now a new censorship regime enforced by the FCC which is going to continue interfering in these businesses to silence critics.

ABC chose to cancel his show. Trump didn’t.
The FCC said they might investigate because there are laws around what can be shown/said on free to air broadcast television, and blatant lying and spreading misinformation for political reasons is, shockingly, not allowed.
