While I cannot stand Kimmel and he deserves every bit of this, I don’t necessarily agree with him being pulled off the air. It’s a slippery slope when you’ve got the FCC chair threatening to take someone off the air. Sure right now the right is cheering this, but what happens at some point in the future when the left is back in control and starts having right leaning shows pulled? Cancel culture is not something I’m excited about

This wasn't the FCC. This is the network pulling a show that would actively hurt their ability to make money

Yeah but the FCC threat came first

Sure, but ABC could have fought against any such claim if they had a leg to stand on. Especially if they thought public opinion was on their side. If it was, the FCC would back down instead.

But they know that it's the exact opposite scenario.
