ABC did exactly this, they took maximum damage to their reputation and now looks like they are feckless idiots. Either they should have stood their ground and fought for free speech or they should have outright fired Kimmel. Suspending him for a couple of days only brings attention to how dumb ABC management is and now both sides will be hammering them for their own issues.
