1. I was one of those 17 million and I thoroughly enjoyed his taking it to the facists in the WH

and the FCC Chairman, Carr, it was...................epic.

13. I was one of them

It was a great monologue! So glad to have him back.

[mommymarine2003]

4. I watched the monologue online, too.

Our ABC station here in the Portland, OR area is owned by Sinclair. Even a blue state isn't safe from the right-wingers.

9. I had to watch it from the Quad Cities station,

because the Rockford IL station would not carry it. The Quad Cities' station reception can be iffy. However, they will be my ABC station from now on.

11. Sinclair and Nexstar will understand subscribers canceling...

[malaise]

12. They will learn

From The Guardian

[GoCubsGo]

14. They don't have subscribers.

They own local over-the-air network affiliates. They keep the stations afloat by selling advertisements, not subscriptions. The only thing viewers can do to get them to "understand" is to boycott their advertisers to the point where they pull their ads.

15. Thanks!

Advertisers might listen if enough people complain. Well, except the 'My Pillow' guy...

[spooky3]

22. I'm part of the 15 million Wed. am. Couldn't stay awake.

I enjoyed it so much, I watched it twice!

[malaise]

23. Ditto - once on TV, once on youtube

😀

[BobTheSubgenius]

25. And I, for one, thought it was well-crafted and struck just the right tone.

I think the audience would have forgiven him just about anything, but he was restrained while still making points. A+
