How so? The murder wasn't made right. Kimmel's comment wasn't wrong.
Cancel shows that criticize him? He has imitation-tweeted that he intended to go after all of them. He crowed about this and the cancellation of the Late Show with Stephen Colbert.
Yes, and? There are
plenty of other shows that are conservative as the market is big enough to accommodate multiple view points. There is absolutely no mandate that programming - including comedy and talk shows - be politically neutral. If this is what a sizeable market share wants, who is the president of the United States to decide?
That's allowed. What is not allowed is the government shutting down shows because the president dislikes them.
I have never actually looked at The View (isn't it daytime talk show?) even though conservatives complain about it quite often. I know from reading that the show included conservatives such as Megan McCain - if she is no longer on the show, I would assume some other conservative lady was chosen to represent the right wing view. I think the point of it was to have a discussion not just nodding agreement, but it always just seemed to be celebrities talking which is uninteresting to me.
The entertainment industry is mostly about profits. If spouting a liberal pov is profitable because that is what people want to watch, then why would the federal government step in?
Since radio talk shows are overwhelmingly conservative do you think that they should be shutdown or forced to give liberals and others equal time? It was the conservatives who got the Fairness Doctrine abolished so for them to complain about it now is more than a bit whiny.
The FCC (
Federal Communication Commission) sets the rules for licensing and such. When the commissioner says that the host being fired can be done the easy way - voluntarily - or the hard way - withholding approval for merges and broadcasting licenses for its affiliates - is a naked threat of the government coercion from one in the position to wreck or facilitate matters.
In the United States, the government supposedly doesn't control the content of commercial media unlike fascist or authoritarian regimes (aside from fraud and pornography and that sort of illegalities).
