The right cancels Kimmel

A right-winger is now in charge of the FCC though, and he threatened ABC and their parent company...

This is trump and MAGA shutting down all opposition to them.

Nothing less than a Stalinist takeover of America and the idiots are all cheering for it.

You have been listening to the left too much . The FCC had nothing to do with this . One of ABC;s largest groups of stations, NextStar decided to preempt Kemmil because of his statement so Disney and ABC decided to pull him.

I've never watched late night TV. Just not my thing. But I looked this up, so if you're a connoisseur of it I'd appreciate your feedback.

My understanding is people like Carson and Leno was more about broad jokes and funny one liners. They made fun of whoever was in office but it was more about the humor than any partisanship.

Jon Stewart wasn't late night comedy but he changed things and influenced those who followed him.

That led into Kimmel, Colbert, Meyers et al. who spend much more time on politics and are more openly liberal in that regard.

So politics wasn't absent in the past, it just wasn't as partisan or central to the shows.

I think you're right. I have some views on the left and some on the right, so I'd find myself agreeing wholeheartedly with Stewart and Colbert on some issues and strongly disagreeing on others. I don't think the solution is cancelling them though- rather, I think more dialogue is needed. It's why I participate here.

Yep. ABC can suck my dick. I loved that new series, "High Potential". But now - fuck 'em! I'm about to cancel YouTube TV because I'm running out of networks to watch with courage to stand up to power.

ABC is not "the right", you need to stop blaming the right for decisions made by a leftist corporation.

All the corporations care about is money, and are acting cowardly to unconscionable pressures from this administration. Don't try to deflect from the fact that they were pressured and folded.

And late night rating have plummeted. Guifiend on cable has more viewers than any one of them and they or on broadcast TV.

Leftards tried to co-opt the whole Johnny Carson non-political and funny great thing into some partisan propaganda bullshit. It didn't work. :dunno:
Because they suck.

I'd say that the evidence isn't ironclad that they folded to pressure but the timing certainly does seem pretty suspicious.

There is such a "oh, good - we're all MAGA now!" vibe going on.

People are talking like they want one party rule, and all national voices to only reflect the MAGA agenda.

Charlie Kirk wanted dialogue. Are people forgetting that?

No, Kirk didn't want dialog. He wanted to crush the left with his intellectually dishonest debating style. He had no desire for a fair exchange of ideas, get real!

Who didn't see this coming? When Joe and Mika went to kiss the ass of Trump last year, when Joy Ried and Cobert were cancelled and a whole slew of liberal voices silenced and funding for free media broadcasting silenced, anyone with a working brain cell could see the baby bitch Trump is out to rule the ignorant. Trump himself has said and I quote " The smart people hate me". unquote. The one thing Trump fail to understand....this country will never ever ever become a nation of one rule, not ever. Charlie Kirk is not a God, he's just another casualty of violence in a country overwhelmed with guns and no amount of cancel culture will erase those facts.

Yeah, I'm about to cancel cable entirely. I'm going to write ABC the same way I wrote MSNBC and let them know - good luck finding viewers and streamers of Hulu and Disney.

Find some balls, people!

Funny, I heard that more than a dozen tv stations called the network and said they were not going to air his show anymore. I didn't hear anything about the guy named 'The Right' doing a damn thing. Who is this guy, does he own all of those stations??
