Oh my goodness, I made a mistake - ABC, not CBS, thank you.

Jimmer an employer has the right to protect their company from the negative effects of toxic, untrue comments on a public platform. The broadcasters have a license granted by the FCC and that comes with the obligation to broadcast to the public’s interest. Again, I think he’s best suited for a station like CNN or MSNBC like Gutfeld, their audience specifically tunes in for that kind of content.

For the record, Kimmel didn't say anything degrading to Kirk, he said:
“We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them, and doing everything they can to score political points from it.”
He then showed that clip of Trump being asked how he was doing after the death of his friend, and Trump said quite good, and immediately segued to talk about construction on his ballroom.

It's not about the comment and Gutfield is just propaganda and meanness, IMO.
@tab_delete Theo Baker
To be clear: It's not "ABC pulls Jimmy Kimmel after comments about Charlie Kirk, " it's "ABC pulls Jimmy Kimmel after threats from Trump FCC chair"
The distinction matters here.

That is entirely the distinction here. Lakecat, if you don’t want to watch Kimmel because you don’t like him or you disagree with him and ABC loses money as a result if you’re not watching, that is a business issue. However, the FCC (i.e. the government) threatening ABC with regard to what they’re broadcasting makes it a government free speech issue.

Just a general note that this thread is intended for the discussion of TV show cancellations and renewals. It is not suitable for an ongoing political discussion. Therefore, we request that everyone continue further political discussion in the News and Views area, which is dedicated to that.

It's been two years since the last season of Lioness. At this point, why bother? It takes Taylor Sheridan 2-3 years to get another season to any show on the air.

I think the same about shows like that. If they're going to have big gaps in the schedule they should make sure they tie every season up neatly so they are self-contained.

If Lioness was just renewed by P+, we're looking at another 12-18 months before the next season airs. Ridonkulous
