In the latest skirmish in the culture wars, Tim Allen’s Non-Woke Actor Alliance (NWAA) has announced an official boycott of ABC, declaring that the network has “completely lost it” after its handling of the recent presidential debate. The NWAA, a group of Hollywood actors who believe the entertainment industry has been overtaken by “wokeness,” has had enough—and this time, their target is the television network that has been home to some of their biggest careers.
Tim Allen, known for his iconic roles in Home Improvement and Last Man Standing, founded the NWAA earlier this year, rallying actors who felt Hollywood was more interested in virtue signaling than creating meaningful entertainment. The boycott was triggered by ABC’s moderating team during the presidential debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, where critics, particularly from conservative circles, slammed the network’s moderators for allegedly fact-checking Trump more harshly than Harris.
“It wasn’t even a debate. It was a roast,” Allen said in a statement. “The moderators didn’t even pretend to be neutral. They’ve lost all sense of professionalism, and they’ve lost us as viewers.”
The spark that lit the boycott flame was ABC’s coverage of the debate, which featured moderators David Muir and Linsey Davis. Critics on the right, including members of the NWAA, claim the moderators were unfairly tough on Trump, constantly interrupting him, fact-checking him in real-time, and allowing Harris to slide on her answers.
“It was like watching someone debate the moderators, not the other candidate,” said one NWAA member, who asked to remain anonymous. “This isn’t journalism. It’s a hit job.”
The backlash began almost immediately after the debate ended, with conservative pundits, influencers, and everyday viewers taking to social media to voice their frustrations. But while many were content to tweet their anger, Tim Allen and his alliance decided to take it a step further.
“ABC is supposed to be a network for everyone,” Allen continued in his statement. “But when they start picking sides, especially during something as important as a presidential debate, that’s when we have to stand up and say, ‘Enough is enough.’”
The Non-Woke Actor Alliance, while still somewhat secretive in its membership, is believed to be made up of actors and industry professionals who are tired of what they see as Hollywood’s obsession with identity politics and political correctness. They believe that the entertainment industry has lost touch with everyday Americans and has instead become a bubble of progressive ideology.
Tim Allen, who has long been an outspoken conservative in an industry that leans liberal, founded the group as a way to push back against the “woke agenda” that has permeated Hollywood in recent years. The NWAA has largely stayed out of the spotlight, preferring to make its moves quietly, but the ABC boycott is by far its most public action to date.
“We’ve been watching Hollywood shift further and further to the left for years,” said another unnamed NWAA member. “And honestly, most of us just kept our heads down and did our jobs. But the debate was a turning point. It wasn’t just about politics. It was about fairness, and ABC threw that out the window.”
The group isn’t just angry about the debate itself—they’re furious at what they perceive as ABC’s broader agenda. They point to the network’s programming choices, which in recent years have become more diverse and more politically progressive, as further evidence that ABC is no longer interested in representing the full spectrum of American viewers.
The boycott announcement was made in typical Tim Allen fashion—direct, no-nonsense, and with a dash of humor. “We’ve loved working with ABC over the years,” Allen said. “But let’s be honest, they’ve lost it. Somewhere along the way, they traded good storytelling for political propaganda. And frankly, we’re not interested in watching it anymore.”
Allen’s message was simple: if ABC continues down this path, they can kiss goodbye to millions of viewers who, like the NWAA, are fed up with what they see as a one-sided narrative. The NWAA is calling on their fans, fellow actors, and everyday Americans to join them in the boycott, urging viewers to switch off ABC and take their entertainment elsewhere.
