ABC decision is not spontaneous or after the fact. IMHO they have been ready and waiting for

[wiggs]

an excuse, in coordination with the administration (part of 'deal' or just informally). Same as they are ready and waiting for other progressive voices and critics. Planned in advance. Two questions:

...who is the next Colbert or Kimmel? After next after that? When and where does it stop?

...what can be done about it and who will do it?

1. The View is next for ABC

4. That was my guess but

I turned it on today to hear their response and they did NOT even mention Jimmy Kimmel. Absolutely taking the easy way out. No reason to watch. Cowards or maybe ordered by ABC management not to talk about it. Either way, someone is a coward.

2. It's a great day to be an entertainment attorney

Getting tangled up with Trump is expensive and the blowback is even worse.

5. Who can afford it? Even organizations such as SLPC and ACLU don't have unlimited funds needed

to go against the full resources of govt.

It's not TSF's money so he doesn't care.

3. Seth Meyers. John Oliver. Daily Show.

Bill Maher will make it through--he's an a-hole. Jimmy Fallon so bland he doesn't want to rock the boat.

I guess we'll all start watching Gutfled (BLECH!!!!)

6. Follow the money. One of ABC's biggest affiliate owners is in a big merger talk.

Just like Paramount and Skydance. And the owner of Nextstar is yet another ultra corrupt MAGA billionaire who is fucking things up for the rest of us.

7. They had the playbook...Project 2025...a long time before the election. Of course they have lists of targets. nt

8. Mass unplug...the only way you will get their attention is to cut off their income.
