Wait! I was told the Government threatening speech is Fascism!
Elizabeth Warren and three other Democratic lawmakers have launched an investigation into Nexstar and Sinclair for refusing to air the Kimmel show. Apparently, Democrats want to force private businesses to air their propaganda.

This is not new for Warren. In 2018, She previously demanded the FCC investigate Sinclair as well. Apparently, her support of the First Amendment only lasted for the 72 hours or so she thought Trump was keeping Kimmel of the air.
24 hours or so and they just start over with whatever works in the Moment…
After a short bounce in the numbers, the end is near for Kimmel.
ABC will continue to lose money on his show, advertisers are pulling out, and the viewers are bored with the whole thing
“The end is near for Kimmel”???
Obviously you haven’t seen the recent viewer numbers! (Hint: it was record breaking— and that was even despite some TV stations not carrying it!)
Isn't that actual fascists do?
This is an actual US Senator:
“Decisions about what Americans watch shouldn’t be dictated by political pressure. Nexstar must immediately restore Jimmy Kimmel to viewers in Vermont and beyond.”
It's almost impossible to believe he could be this clueless...
Nothing to see here.. it is all political theatre for clips and likes - Kimmel is not the hill to die on, his suspension had nothing to do with freedom of speech. Constitutional freedom of speech ends where the private sector job begins ... I think it is pretty clear after the 2020 election and the following four years that freedom of speech is a relatively subjective term ..
Fascism is yet another word being overused and is now losing the meaning of the true ugliness that is fascism ... Nazi / racism / fascism are derogatory, negative ugly terms being tossed out willy nilly til they no longer have meaning except to the fringe of society believing the BS!!!
Time to wake up....
Peace...
