Rogan on censoring comedians
-
Not that I support what Kimmel said or his smartass defiant explanation, but this makes sense to me. Conservatives should never stoop to the level of the "liberals".

It's pretty unanimous in the right leaning pundit/commentator class, that the FCC stooge did a stupid thing. It might just be that there is a genuine undercurrent of appreciation for free speech among that bunch, even if politics will infect more overtly political animals to a greater degree. I don't think there's a valid comparison with the religious left and their fundamentalist progressivism, where free speech has never been a concern.

Yes, but what I didn’t expect is the amount of “I don’t give a fuck, the guy should be off the air” that’s in the general public. People that I generally count as above average intelligence, but have felt so abused by the system, pop culture, and the bureaucracy that they no longer really care about what is right or wrong but just want a little revenge or settling of scores. It’s pretty bothersome.

It is indeed. We've often discussed which party is going to be the adult in the room. They clearly have not exerted enough brainpower to see they are simply behaving like a mirror image of what they abhor.
I have no problem with Kimmel getting his show canceled for business reasons, which would have been valid given current ratings at the time, but not because they were strongarmed by the administration.
Although that's exactly what was done to Trump, et al, we just don't need a race to the bottom.
