People who stated basic biological facts were cancelled/fired for stating them.
If the Trump administration is putting pressure on ABC or any other network, it doesn’t necessarily follow that they’re incapable of resisting such pressure. If ABC had considered Kimmel’s comments to be worthy of defending, they could have done so. They chose not to.
It’s interesting that you use the word ‘payback’ - it infers you agree that the left is receiving a dose of its own medicine and doesn’t much like it! Personally I think censorship/cancel culture is a bad idea regardless of whether it’s done by the left or the right.

Thanks, I was having a hard time thinking of who had been cancelled unfairly. The trans/anti trans issue is not something I can speak to as I haven’t read enough about it. I don’t know enough about it to discuss it.
I used the word ‘payback’ because there are a lot of people who feel very negatively -feel aggrieved - about cancel culture and seem to be responding with statements like ‘the left don’t like it now it’s been turned on them.’ That puts me in mind of ‘payback’.
But this looks very different. This is the government wanting to shut down debate. It’s not just firing Kimmel and Colbert either. It’s the vice president and others in, or close to Trumps administration, that are encouraging people to make lists of anyone that expresses a negative view of Charlie Kirk. It’s purely political. It’s concerning that some people are celebrating this.
@justasking111 apologies, not sure why I’ve got your quote leading my response to another poster.
