Viral Song Reignites Debate on Media Censorship and Political Free Speech: Artist Challenges Disney Over Kimmel's Alleged Cancellation
A recent viral video featuring musician Salem Ilese has sparked discussion regarding media censorship and political discourse. In the video, Ilese performs an original song on her ukulele, stating, "I am still mad at Disney, and for a different reason this time!" She criticizes Disney for allegedly canceling comedian Jimmy Kimmel, asserting it was "all for exercising his free speech." Ilese draws a parallel with Fox News, noting, "Fox News can say whatever to make Trump look better, but one strike and Kimmel's off TV." The song also references Stephen Colbert, claiming he "had to call it quits," suggesting that "talking 'bout politics is only okay if Trump is flattered." The video, uploaded on September 22, 2025, has garnered significant attention, prompting viewers to consider the implications of corporate influence on media personalities and the perceived double standards in political commentary.
