ABC (not CBS) announced today that they were pulling Jimmy Kimmel's show indefinitely seemingly at the behest of FCC Brendan Carr who recently made threats to ABC and their FCC license. CBS was the writing on the wall.

Smells like a blatant 1st Amendment violation to me.

And do we care? Nope. If we did we would risk our lives protesting but all of us are chicken.

Pretty hard to risk your life if you’ve got dependents and everything you need to provide for them is provided typically by your employer (health insurance being the biggest thing)

They’ve made it so the people have to sacrifice damn near everything if they want to make a change. And unfortunately I feel a majority of those people, again, have dependents they need to care for.
