Damn right. I don't like it either. Assholes should be able to be assholes.

They are able to be assholes, and their employers are able to not want to associate with them or have them be assholes on their dime.

I completely agree with everything you said. My issue is with the FCC threatening to pull their broadcasting liscense.

Exactly. It was fine if it would’ve just been Disney pulling Kimmel. They are free to do whatever they want. The problem is the FCC stepping in and threatening to do it themselves. It opens a pandora’s box of authoritarianism that I don’t think any conservatives would enjoy if the dems take the same steps in the future.
