Surely this current Congress would never listen to the President if he really wanted to do something.

But this is getting afield from the original point, which is that the current government did indeed involve itself in the Kimmel issue.


There was a crackdown on occupation of buildings, yes. Did the government call for canceling TV shows that criticized Israel?

MAGA thought they had more cultural power than they really did here, and attempts to bully Kimmel off the air for his political views failed. Even a lot of folks ordinarily "on the right" who can't stand Kimmel objected to the government getting involved in his cancellation.

No one is thinking about Jimmy Kimmel anymore. He doesn't mean anything to the left or the right.

Translation: This naked power play didn't work out like we thought it would, so we've on to newer, fresher power plays.

You can take my statement literally, "no one is thinking about Jimmy Kimmel anymore."

The ratings are still way up from where they were before Trump tried to have him fired.

At that time, there was only one way to go. Show was hurting.
