Aw, poor ABC, did appeasing fascists not work out for you? Nobody could have predicted that! /s

Trump also wants to cancel the other late nights hosts. They mean they’re going beyond ABC.

It just means they're gonna be really easy to bully into submission. Perfect target for a schoolyard bully like Trump.

"'Mislead' the American public" is all it takes to get cancelled now? Great! Let's run down the list of "alternative fact", MAHA, QAnom, pizza gate, election deniers, etc and cancel their shows, social profiles, and various platforms.

Almost every AM radio station should have been shut down long ago.

According to the above rule and also just generally.

The real conspiracy nuts broadcast on shortwave (even here in the US).

You can't use reason to extinguish a cult that was built on violence and anti-intellectualism

As the saying goes, you can't use logic and reason to get someone out of a position they didn't use those things to get into.

How exactly do you extinguish a cult with reason and fact? They'll just ignore you or use your public debunk as a way to gain publicly with members of your audience that had never heard of them.

Cult deprogramming is an entire field of study

When does this party "legalize comedy" again? I thought they were all free speech absolutists?
Were they lying when they said that? /clutches pearls... Heavens to Betsy!

We are not going to control what these broadcasting companies do... but also they better do the correct thing or we are going to shut them down... this is disgusting...
Roseanne called a black man a monkey... Kimmel said the shooter was one of them and called trump a man child who cares more about a ballroom
they are not the same thing

Clearly. Roseanne said a sensible, non racist, non controversial, non obscene line unlike Kimmel.
/S because damn people be trippin today.

Where's the dipshit that said this had nothing to do with the first Amendment yesterday? I have a few questions for them.

Free speech has returned guys!!! Comedy is legal again!!! You can say whatever you want as long as it aligns with the vision of the glorious leader!

So fire all of the late show hosts and give young people yet another reason to not engage in that dying medium. Fat old pedophile rapist will still be mocked around the world.
He’s gonna be dead soon too. He looks like shit. Just you wait for those celebrations.

Of course the Nazis are not done yet. We have to all be yes men and women to the Orange Turd.

I figured as much, still too much criticism for Der Trumpler on American tv, for the fascists in charge.

That's weird. Fascists and bullies always stop when you give up some of your rights to appease them!

Yeah but I can still buy treats, so fascism must not be at 100% yet.

Oh no! What will people do in 2025 without network TV?!
