Shows that made jokes about Trump are being canceled one by one. You have the FCC chairman threatening networks if they don’t punish hosts. This is how you end up like Russia, China and North Korea, where no one can say anything about “Dear Leader”

They’re getting canceled cuz their shows suck
Cant stand any of them , but you are not supposed to stop free speech, really this crap is out of hand , I believe in our constitution that protects free speech.
Good riddance
Here is the real treat — they don’t even need to sue you into silence. The algorithm prison will sequester you to a cruel holding pattern of bot interactions. On X, for instance, because I refuse to pay for a check, I am more than confident that I have almost ZERO real interactions with humans.
Now is the time where creativity, REAL CREATIVITY, can be of value. I took a course in college about art and film within totalitarian regimes, and the teacher was a mean Ukrainian who scoffed at Americans as not processing the dimensions of their “freedoms”. You have free speech in the woods screaming at trees too.
True power, real power, is saying exactly what you want to say in a way that can’t get you in trouble, probably perilously close. It really explains the whole concept of “symbolism will be their downfall.”
Read, read, read. We have been through this before as a culture. Read fiction, read nonfiction, read philosophy, read history.
Remember all the shows and takings heads that weren’t allowed to exist because Biden and Obama didn’t like them?
This is a dumb post. They’ve been doing it NON STOP since 2016.
They are still free to pursue their own efforts elsewhere. Markets change and people get let go.
FCC chair will probably be the next nazi to go down. Fuck around find out.
First time here?
bye felicias!
What happened to the View?
Colbert was cancelled because CBS is for sale. It’s incredibly common for networks to cancel shows before a sale, and that was likely one of the most expensive in their lineup and without huge ratings like yesterday’s late night shows
Kimmel pushed a purposeful lie that goes against FBI findings and presented it as fact during an ongoing and current investigation.
Na, these shows were trash and promoted hate and divide. I say good riddance. The world is a better place now.
It’s not about totalitarianism, it’s about being cancelled in the old -fashioned TV sense for being distasteful and unfunny.
Didn’t know conspiracy sub stood for liberal freakout!
Wait what? I thought that Steve guys totally sucked and lost money? I mean the Fox show Greg Gutfeld literally owns that time slot. You really think that the government actually cancelled that show? Mmmmm
Full transparency I voted Trump and I am a conservative that said these shows in my humble opinion are not funny or informative. Yes they seem biased and yes it seems they are being canceled because of their political views. But I think the networks are using it as an excuse to get rid of these shows that make no money. I could be wrong but it’s my opinion. In this climate I look forward to everyone else’s opinion with open mind.
They are riling up conservatives, getting them to cheer for this, and conservatives are too eager to target liberals that they don’t realize they are the ones chilling their own free speech.
Celebrating someone’s death is abhorrent but protected- remember when that one Baptist church used to celebrate dead soldiers at their funerals? It sucked but it’s their right to suck.
Now conservatives won’t be able to celebrate deaths without seeming like complete hypocrites. They are doing this to themselves
The view was cancelled??
I’m an outsider looking in. Not American.
It would appear a lot of these are terrible and no one would watch them. Who is the audience? It’s not an issue of free speech it is a case of talentless over rated hacks who are not as popular as they think they are.
The cream will always rise to the top and if someone is engaging they will have an audience and an influence in some way.
There’s a second thing that links all of these shows…
They are getting cancelled because they aren’t getting the views or the advertising money that is needed to justify the budget.
Did it occur to you they have shit ratings and lie to the public?
Did it ever occur to you these people just suck? Also, the shit they say is negatively impacting their employer. Like, Jimmy Kimmel blatantly lied about the assassin to his audience. Bringing bad publicity. Also, considering people are shifting more right in the US its not surprising that the shows would be possibly losing money.
I didn’t realize The View was canceled. Though it may be possible that viewership played a role in their cancellations, I truly believe it has more to do with typical Trump tantrums and deals with the FCC. It is totally illegal and unconstitutional. I pray they sue and win. I also pray that we see them streaming somewhere else in the near future.
Just Wait until the Pendulum Swings back the other way…..
Oh Snap
