Kimmel's show was very popular. ABC, like CBS, is cutting off it's nose to spite its face. Kimmel will be invited to speak his mind on Fallon and Colbert.

Colbert has been cancelled, too. I can’t believe the media is rolling over for Trump… sad, sad day and era.

"the media" and the various leading social media platforms are mostly owned by billionaires. Of course they are going to kowtow to the authoritarian. That's how this works.

YK, most people on this thread get that.

The party that invented speech codes, trigger words, and safe spaces wants you to know that they have always defended free speech.

SNL is the most watched show on NBC, btw.

I mean, if we are being accurate, it’s Sunday Night Football.

Correct, but other than live sports SNL has the most viewers.

What 'party' invented speech codes, trigger words, and safe spaces -- do you have a site to a law or piece of legislation? Or maybe you don't actually know what free speech means?

I don’t think Kimmel show should have been suspended by ABC for his comments.

But I also don’t think Trump should have been banned from Twitter.

The trouble with cancel culture is that when you support it based on the speech you disagree with when your “side” is calling the shots (and making the behind-the-scenes directives to Twitter—as it were), it will always come back to bite you when the people you can’t stand are the ones on the power positions.

But you can’t just get outraged and whine “censorship!” only when it’s the speech you agree with that’s getting shut down and the people on your “team” who are losing jobs! You have to be willing to stand up for everyone’s right to say what they want. You have to be willing to say “hey I don’t have to agree with what that guy said but I support his right to say it!”

That’s how this American freedom thing works. And that’s how we protect it. Speech that everyone agrees with does not need protection.

“Most watched” show on NBC isn’t say much. I haven’t watched SNL in over a decade and the last time I watched a late night talk show was in the Leno and Conan days. And I’m not old

PP didn't say "most watched by you."

Please tell me you aren’t actually this dumb

As a reminder, Trump wasn’t randomly banned from Twitter. He was banned on January 8, 2021, primarily due to the platform's concerns over his posts inciting violence following the January 6 riot. Twitter cited two specific tweets from his account,, which they believed posed a risk of further violence. The first tweet praised his supporters, calling them "American Patriots" and saying they would "not be disrespected," while the second suggested he would not attend Joe Biden’s inauguration. Twitter interpreted these as potentially encouraging further unrest, especially after the Capitol attack by his supporters. The company stated that, given the context of recent events and the potential for his statements to be interpreted as endorsing violence, they permanently suspended his account to prevent additional harm.

Twitter banned Trump WHILE TRUMP WAS STILL THE PRESIDENT. No government body told them to ban him from Twitter.

Seriously, this might be the dumbest both sides attempt I’ve ever seen.

It's mind-blowing that these guys can still make a living grifting despite being exposed for taking Russian money to spread agitprop.

The number of people who just canceled their Hulu/Disney/ESPN+ subscriptions likely dwarfs the number people who actually watched his show.

I don't watch Kimmel, or any live TV anymore. I still canceled my Hulu subscription. My Golden Girls binge-watching days are over.

Late night shows are so boring, all of them. I don't know anyone my age or younger who watches them regularly. Why has this blown up as a cause célèbre?

I don’t know. Maybe because most people in this country don’t think the government should get to decide what people can and cannot say? Just spit balling.
