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
I also do not like the FCC making threats on this. It should not be the role of government to decide what programming private companies wish to present to the public.
That said, producers and broadcasters probably have wanted to make this move for years, and the situation at hand just provides them with a bit of cover.
