This is so messed up and those folks lugging and supporting this fascist behavior actually think they are safe- they seem to be in denial that their turn to be canceled is coming soon enough.

Tell me more about MAGA infighting.

Dems want the gullible to believe Trump waved a magic wand & canceled the show. But it’s more likely ABC was looking for a reason to cancel an un-funny “comedy” show that was getting bad ratings.

When the head of a federal agency that can allow or block a merger says "we can do this the easy way or the hard way" that's pretty much prima facie government coercion of speech. Drop in ratings may have made it easier. If the city wants to shut down your business for illegitimate reasons but your revenues are also declining, it's a lot easier to allow the city to steamroll you into submission.

Something the right has always failed to recognize: the other side of the political spectrum has ALWAYS examined what its side is doing. For example, both the New Yorker and the Atlantic--magazines Trump despises, especially the Atlantic, and claims is failing--ran many articles in recent years asking if campus speech had become too repressive, if "safe spaces" and "trigger warnings" had gone too far, etc. I am not aware of any self examination on the part of the left.

Any Republican who thinks Kimmel being canceled was fine cannot argue against it without being a complete illogical hypocrite.

You like disinformation? That’s how we got into this mess.

"Disinformation" and censoring people is only okay when YOUR SIDE agrees with it.

Please learn the difference between objective fact (vaccines prevent or lessen the impact of COVID), dangerous misinformation (ivermectin and bleach can prevent COVID infections), lies (other countries will pay the tariffs!), and opinion (Kamala is an idiot not qualified to be president).

Telling you that you cant spread lies and misinformation is not censorship.

Trying to chill the expression of opinions the President doesn't like IS censorship, and the first amendment prohibits the GOVERNMENT from doing so. For example, using the FCC to threaten a company into firing their employee for making a joke.
