All the mainstream media organizations have effectively capitulated to fascism, at this point. They can and should be fighting this from a 1st amendment standpoint. The only reason they aren't, is because this is what they stand for.

Colbert was the canary in the gold mine and canary #2 just dropped
First they came for the shitlibs
And canaries #3 and #4 seem to already be lined up. From CNN's article:
“Great News for America: The ratings challenged Jimmy Kimmel Show is CANCELLED. Congratulations to ABC for finally having the courage to do what had to be done,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social on Wednesday night. “Kimmel has ZERO talent, and worse ratings than even Colbert, if that’s possible. That leaves Jimmy and Seth, two total losers, on Fake News NBC. Their ratings are also horrible. Do it NBC!!!”
and americans will still continue to insist that other country's are the authoritarian; not us.
Jimmy and Seth are both so so so much worse hosts than Colbert and Kimmel. As a millennial its been insane to watch Kimmel's career path and person growth from when I was first introduced to him in the Man Show.
Jimmy Fallon won't even get spared after all the legwork he did for the Trump campaign bruh 😂
The what?
As an outsider, it's utterly astonishing how fucked up your country has become in only 9 short months.
it was fucked up long before that. Everyobody is scared and shooting each other, everybody is broke buying pointless shit.
It's always been like this, but it had a mask before trump that made everything happen slow enough to make people doubt that it was happening, so that it all can eventually seem acceptable; trump doesn't care about the mask and has accelerated it to a noticeable speed before everyone is ready to accept it.
If you're astonished, then you haven't read any history of the US.
It's so much steeped in blood and so wildly capitalist
that it's more astonishing that it was able to not collapse
and keep a good image during the 20th century.
It's saving grace is having the largest deposits of coal by far,
but with solar power on the rise that's not cutting it anymore.
Liberals laid the groundwork for years to prepare for Fascism with the police state and illegal wars. All Trump had to do was pull the lever.
The country has been fucked up for many years, this is just the qualitative leap.
title should call out Disney-ABC, not just ABC. It's important to connect the dots how few outlets there are and how they are aligned. Christofacist will not be any stretch for Disney, and they have a king background in war propaganda films.
I expected him to have said something celebratory or at least making light of it. The only thing he said is that the 'MAGA gang' are capitalising on his death.
The key part to note is that the cancellation of the show did not need to be mandated by the state because the state represents the interests of the ruling class which is the capital owning class. The capitalists who own the network made a political decision to cancel him.
Its also to set an example that no discourse is allowed because all Kimmel did was point out that Trump didn't seem to care much about Kirk by posting that video where he is asked about Kirk and he starts rambling that he is happy that there is a lot of trucks hauling stuff for his saloon.
Fuck every one of these network stations. Why do they even still exist?
This will be there end. They'd rather have fascism than stay in business. Same as the Democrats would rather support Israel raping people instead of stopping fascism. But not us. Fuck them and fuck this.
I hope but look at all the corporations that just got bigger after Hitler
It’s not even about Kirk. It’s about calling out Trump for being full of shit. Trump got asked about grieving Kirk, said he was fine then began talking about trucks starting construction.
I didn't think the USA would be stiffling free speech consideri this is the fredom they try to export all over the world.
This is because the corporation wants a 6 billion dollar merger. This is the only reason in fact.
