#2Off to the USSR we go unless Congress gets brave. Sadly I told people who came here from the USSR where I use to work 40 years ago we were heading towards being the USSR, but a bit different.
They said "no way", well here we are, well on our way. Just a different flavor of the same type of thing.

it would help if the billionaire / centimillionaire classes decided they didn't like what was going on.

#5This is the way shakedowns work. Disney backed down on Kimmel because he's "just a comedian" or it's "just one show" or he was "failing anyway". So now they're marks. It's always easy to squeeze a mark for a second time than to shake down a fresh one.
The View is "soft news", it's a "minor talk show", it's "daytime TV". It's not like they're coming after This Week or World News Tonight. Right?

#62021: government asking Twitter to tell you that you're not a horse is an unconstitutional violation of free speech.
2025: it's doubleplusgood to threaten TV channels for wrongthink.

#7I'm sure there's some Republicans on HN. I'm curious why/if you think that, if the public pressuring companies to fire people for some things (what some people call "cancelling") is wrong, it's somehow more appropriate for the government to do it? Or is this just a matter of, "well, they did it for years, now it's our turn" for you?
(If you don't actually support this party, consider refraining from sharing your opinions of why Republicans support this. And for what it's worth, I don't think the downvotes for those actually sharing their opinions [in a productive way] are deserved, even if I disagree with them.)
Y'all really need to read the guidelines

There’s a lot of politics happening to us in real life right now too

#10Pure kayfabe. ABC needed any excuse to get rid of a show that no longer made sense in the modern era of streaming. NBC and CBS must be furious that they didn’t think of this first.
Edit: Ha I forgot that CBS actually did think of it first with Colbert’s show getting axed too.
