Is tRump going after Comedy Central next?

South Park, The Daily Show, etc. Can he do that? If he can, then he will.

This is like living in Russia or the Blacklists of McCarthyism. tRump's Roy Cohn was his mentor after all.

This is not leading to fascism, we are already there!!!

'South Park' delays new episode hours before airtime: Here's why

A previously scheduled episode of "South Park" is being pushed back.

Comedy Central announced the fifth episode of Season 27, originally set to air Wednesday, Sept. 17, would be delayed another week, to Sept. 24.

"Apparently when you do everything at the last minute sometimes you don't get it done," creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone said in a release. "This one's on us. We didn't get it done in time. Thanks to Comedy Central and South Park fans for being so understanding. Tune in next week!"

A new episode also did not air last week, after a change to the longstanding animation series' release schedule. Instead, the network will likely re-air one of the season's previous episodes. However the season's second episode, which features a parody of Charlie Kirk, continues to be absent from the schedule. Comedy Central pulled the rerun of the Season 27 episode "Got A Nut," in which Cartman imitates the conservative media personality in the wake of his death.

5. MSNBC must surely be considered the walking dead.

MSNBC is owned by Comcast.

Comcast is severely vulnerable to pressure from the federal government.

Not only do they operate NBC, the over-the-air television network, and hold a bunch of television station licenses, but they are a vertical monopoly because they own Universal Pictures as well, in clear violation of antitrust law.

They also own Telemundo. Ay ay ay!

tonight when I watched Lawrence. I feel like I am living in Russia. The only difference is that their Dear Leader appears to be healthier than tRump. I have the feeling that our despite our desire to see tRump die ASAP, it will not happen in time to save our democracy.
