    The irony of this is I wouldn’t give a shit if Jimmy kimmel or the view were cancelled for pretty much any other reason. My dislike for authoritarianism is stronger than my apathy about either of these shows I guess.

      I don’t regularly watch either of them, the only reason I’m upset is because it’s the beginning of the end of free speech in America

    It will never stop. After The View, they’ll go after another target. Networks should give up on trying to appease the FCC, and just appease their audiences instead.

    Ironic since the “liberal media” is what gave a huge assist in getting us here. Taco’s brand and name awareness went way up by handing him that ridiculous game show, for one thing.

    Then the media did absolutely sweet fuckall in properly vetting this asshole when he was running in 2015 and 2016 - giving him billions in free air time, and doing nothing to explain to the American people just what a fraud all of his image as a “businessman” was.

    Them pointing the camera at an empty podium for him to arrive at or waiting for his stupid jet to show up tells you so much about how they completely abnegated any responsibility at all in doing their function as the Fourth Estate. Playing the “objective” card and the “neutral” card, because, well, “both sides”.
