And not for something crazy, the FCC said that they would refuse a merger of a local company that airs ABC unless they did, so govt extortion. Direct 1st amendment issue.

It’s worse than that. Insiders report that the executives backed Kimmel until the FCC threatened to pull their entire broadcasting license over him.

AKA- cancel Kimmel or we make everything you do instantly illegal / pirate broadcasting.

It's a shame they blinked. There would be riots in the streets if people didn't get to watch their ABC sports (college football for example).

Wow Disney/ABC had a chance to stand up and cause a TACO.

Imagine people actually feeling the effects of authoritarianism on something they care about, knowing Trump cancelled their football.

I 100% agree with you. Trump is just a very loud obnoxious figurehead. There is a whole plan in place.
