Trump is trying to force Kimmel off the air now.

Crazy that Democrats never did this to fox news or conservative radio. Don't they listen to the citizens when they say we don't want the government stuffing us with their bullshit? Do the Democrats go full retard in retribution when Trump is gone?

[Meresgi]

Didn’t the last election thoroughly discredit this? We removed people from society because of their intolerant views via cancellation. How has that worked out for us? They built a parallel media ecosystem and used it to stage a hostile takeover of the larger society and engage in a campaign of retribution against the former gatekeepers. Not great!

I hope we learn some lessons rather than just double down.

Who did we remove via cancellation? Cuz no one got fucking cancelled lol. All the people who screamed about being "cancelled" had no lasting effects on them at all.

I disagree; those people are now culturally ascendant, that’s a pretty sweet lasting effect.

Fuckin hell fire up the Mothma speech from Andor

This. You're not cancelled if you're fucking raking in thousands and were never even hit by anything. Tons of comedians were cancelled yet their tours kept going, they kept raking in $$ and no one gave a shit. Russel Brand was cancelled right? Sure seems like literally nothing happened to him at all. Of ALL of the people cancelled on the right, can't think of a single one that was hit hard in any way.

Guys

You’re so close

edit: nevermind. Nexstar pulled from 30 markets. ABC/Disney then followed suit and pulled it indefinitely.

Fallon is the next target.

Maybe trying to cancel people was altogether ineffective and had the unintended effect of banding all these awful people together against us?

[TummieGaruda]

Shooter is MAGA - cancelled
Homeless should get lethal injections - crickets

True, we should be tolerant of a rapist in the Oval Office. That'll teach people not to be ra- wait a minute.

Fallon is the next target.

i'll never really forgive fallon for normalizing him and giving him a spot on the show in 2016, but i mean, he doesn't deserve to be targeted

I see someone wants to fill the hole that Spicy left in this section.

No

I keep reading he was cancelled for what he said, but i can't find what he said that was so bad.

He said

"We had some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and with everything they can to score political points from it"

on his show on Monday

[Yabby]

...

He didn't even say anything about kirk....
