Carr and Trump should shut up, but they are not why Kimmel was fired.
Roseanne Barr claims that Michelle and Barack called Iger to get her fired. Who knows? But, the Obama administration clearly went after right wing commentators. So did Biden.
Does not excuse Carr or Trump, but there was a whole lot of squashing of free speech in Obama and Biden administration. You just did not notice it because it pleased you.

There are people who say Trump decided to run during the WHC dinner where Obama and Seth Myers made fun of him. He walked out of the dinner. None of this is a surprise.
That was in the spring of 2011. Why didn’t he run against Obama then?

It’s just a few conglomerates - Disney, Warner, Fox, Sinclair - that control everything now. And they are all kowtowing to Trump and Republicans because the finance people need their deals to go through to get their bonuses.
The next administration needs to break up Disney and Fox and Warner. And Sinclair with their dominance over local markets. I think Disney’s decisions in recent days provides very compelling reasons why we need more players in the media market.
Breaking the media conglomerates should be a pretty compelling issue that resonates with most Americans.
Some people are saying this started because NexStar wants to merge with an affiliate, but would have to get FTC approval because it would make them too large.
I agree, we need to break up the media, banks, insurers, and on.
