Highest rating show. Financial decision.
Nah. All who oppose Trump will be silenced.
Kimmel next
Kimmel has already said this is his last season, voluntarily.
Daily Show is next. Maybe Seth Meyers.
Remember that when Conan was forced out, he had specific gag orders about what he could say or not, so take the "voluntary" part with a few grains of salt until that potential gag order expires, if it ever does.
Really what's happening is fascist censorship of opposition voices and satire is a powerful tool in speaking truth to power, making comedians highly threatening to fascists. Corporations like Skydance don't care about civilization or a better world, they need line to go up, and the fastest, most efficient way to get that line up is to buy some fascists to run the country you're located in.
Late show was also just nominated for an Emmy.
Kimmel and John Stewart are in fact being targeted next.
I predicted that this would happen if the country started an irreversible slide into fascist warlord dictatorship, I just thought it would be much further down the road.
Watch, in about a year all of these comedians and liberal pundits are going to be replaced by right-wing grifters and podcasters capturing the stupid, populist attention spans of people who just want to stare at flashing lights and listen to people screaming about how evil trans children are interrupted by ads for essential oils and testosterone supplements. This isn't an exaggeration, this is what we can expect.
It will just be filled copaganda shows, and sprinkle in some military props, and mostly reality shows, which caters to the lowest common denominator, which happens to be conservatives. The news in these networks will just turn into another fox clone, if it isn't already
