I'm sure it's an accident and not intentional! A big corporation would never, ever do something like cause a delay so people cool off and don't bother actually canceling later.

I considered that, but there's a very real risk that the bad-press of it crashing will have an even bigger financial effect.

What about what he said was so controversial? It seems entirely in line with everything else I’ve seen happen on these kinds of shows.

I suspect they were looking for an excuse to axe and found one. It was all milquetoast, and that entire format of television is dead and the networks know they need to pivot somewhere.

To those that are interpreting his comments in a certain way, the implication that Robinson is maga is highly offensive and textbook "misinformation". Edit: there's clearly several ways to interpret what he said. I'm not making any kind of argument here, just answering op's question.

ummm First amendment? Its not the first time misinformation has been broadcasted on air, why does the FCC need to get involved in this one. Would they have gotten involved if the implication was that he was a liberal?

just cancelled my hulu/disney bundle and requested to delete my disney account which was processed immediately and was very easy to find.

deleting the hulu account took me effort, had to search for it and log into a special site and only a submit request to yet to be processed.

so actually props to disney for not being user hostile.

Not so much offensive, as utterly puzzling given the information we had on him by Monday night. Not a fan of Trump or Jimmy, and I don’t think this is a proportional or good response. I’m pretty stunned that there was actually momentum enough to take him off the air. I also don’t understand why he left that little dig in his monologue.

Which information? The completely unverified stuff based on "a reconstruction" or "aggressive interview posture" from the same FBI led by the guy currently contradicting himself and telling lies in front of Congress?

This Administration was basically founded on making strident claims on TV which turned out to be lies they couldn't back up in a court of law.

They asked what was controversial about what he said, not whether the FCC's actions were constitutional.

>It was all milquetoast,

???

It was a very obvious dig at the president. There's still not good justification for the government to step in, but claiming it's "milquetoast" is baffling.

I hope people realize that paying for streaming is optional. vpn is all you need to pay for.

Have you tried using a VPN? I installed the free ProtonVPN I got with protonmail and half the internet stops working. VPNs look like bots with high exit traffic so they are blocked. Plus countries are cracking down on exit nodes.

As long as there’s a tpb mirror in the working half the point stands.

Doesn't seem that outlandish given the president of the united states said it was a extreme left lunatic before this.

Honestly, I thought it was way more tame than I'd expect for comedy these days, but it's also been a long time since I watched a late night talk show and traditionally the ones on the old networks tended to have much more mild and lighthearted comedy compared to the more biting/edgy stuff you'd get on cable.
