Shouldn't the suitability of material, that does not violate any written law, decision be made by viewers, instead of the FCC threatening affiliates? Or, does the indictment of "big gummit" no longer apply?

Company policy is the deciding factor.

Good.
Affiliates told ABC they were yanking the show, so ABC yanked Kimmel.

LurkerMom: Company policy is the deciding factor.

Dope1: Affiliates told ABC they were yanking the show, so ABC yanked Kimmel.


Sure, right after FCC Chair Brendan Carr threatened to pull the broadcasting licenses of Disney and ABC.

Hours earlier, FCC Chair Brendan Carr told conservative podcaster Benny Johnson that Kimmel’s comments were “truly sick,” and that there was a “strong case” for action against ABC and Disney.

“This is a very, very serious issue right now for Disney. We can do this the easy way or the hard way,” Carr said. “These companies can find ways to take action on Kimmel or there is going to be additional work for the FCC ahead.”


Youse gotta' nice station or two 'der. 'Shame if somethin' bad happened to 'em.

Gee, I'm old enough to remember republicans crying their eyes out over Cancel Culture.

It only applies if corporations who pay homage and cash to Our Fearless Leader are being regulated.

And what is not regulated now? The DOJ has an infinite checkbook to pay for whatever investigations and prosecutions it chooses to launch.

Maurie Stans went from being Commerce Secretary, to head of fundraising for CREEP. He went around the country, to companies that had government contracts, demanding big "campaign donations", or he would make sure they never got another government contract. This became known as the "Stans shakedown cruise".
