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.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I've never watched either. I'm kind of surprised at how many Americans still watch TV.
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.
Correction. They should sue the FCC.
Which is probably why Kimmel or his people haven't made a peep. This appears to be a slam dunk 1A win, and I have to think they're putting a case together.
This appears to be a slam dunk 1A win,
If the supreme court gave the tiniest shit about the constitution, I'd believe you.
Constitutional crisis incoming.
Another? We haven't finished the first!
We've had first constitutional crisis, but what about second constitutional crisis?
The supreme court can't take up every case.
And yet, they magically seem to find time for the cases that cause the most damage to our freedoms.
The GOP hates America so much. They spend their time on fake wars (xmas), stopping business branding (cracker barrel), whining about a pretend terrorist organization (ANTIFA), and claim they are victims and being cancelled. They hate America and are working hard to destroy the culture that the vast majority (75%) actually approve of. This is why religion is so toxic, it creates these monsters.
The first feature of Ur-Fascism is the cult of tradition.
Eco goes on to explain that this “tradition” is, by necessity, syncretistic rather than truly traditional. It is a new culture built on cherry-picked, rose-tinted, imaginary pasts, not reality. This is why “culture wars” are such a focus for fascists, everything else springs forth from this first step.
These monsters weren't created by religion. They just use it as a convenient excuse.
Personality disorders created these monsters.
“Alpha male” offended by The View lol. Ok snowflake
Happy yet, media? You got all the clicks you can handle. It only cost our soul.
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".
This person gets it.
