    None of this, not one iota, is about what we watch. I see person after person commenting “I don’t watch Kimmel, but…”

    Frankly, it could have been censorship of a right wing show like Charlie Kirk and our response should be the same.

    It’s not about our preferences. It’s about Freedom of Speech and the articles in the Bill of Rights.

        But you started with “I don’t watch Kimmel.” That is entirely irrelevant in this test.

        I am not trying tobe difficult, but so many things online get turned into personal issues reflexively. This one is so huge that to minimize it to preference is to miss the point.

        I get that’s not what you may be doing, however, the core institutions important to this country’s identity are right now being dismantled. It’s not about our preferences.

          I am pretty sure they mentioned they don’t watch just to emphasize that it matters either way.

              Yep. You explained to them, in a scolding manner, a point that they themselves already made. So I think if anyone didn’t read here, it’s you.
