What's interesting is ignoring his audience that identifies his sense of humor and understands the context of 'Death to all Jews'.
He wants what most people want, to make a living and Disney withdrawing as sponsor will likely not hurt. A bigger issue is WSJ and co efforts to have his ads pulled altogether.

Oh noes! Newspapers are talking about him!
You know the WSJ has absolutely no power over advertisers, aside from the SAME freedom of speech powers that PDP has.

WSJ definitely has the power to ruin your reputation overnight, even if you don't deserve it. You could not do the same to them.

I'll believe it if pdp loses subscribers. For now, it just looks like he lost some sponsors.
On the contrary. Its completely acceptable for PDP to say whatever he hell he wants. The problem is that he wants to be paid by Disney while doing it.
The USA has freedom of speech. PDP is legally allowed to say whatever he wants. Unfortunately, PDP's revenue stream is (or perhaps... was...) Disney. And Walt Disney did not like PDP's Jew jokes.
There's no censorship here. This is PDP losing a financial sponsor / financial backer. Welcome to the real world PDP, your sponsors actually care about what you say.

Wall Street Journal can do whatever. People have made fun of PDP all the time in the past years. That's not what's hurting him right now. Its the loss of Disney as a sponsor.
