Seems like the people upset at the FCC for ABC's actions were awful quiet during The Twitter Files.
The Twitter Files revealed actual politically motivated government action against individuals. Should some of you revisit it?

Of course they were. But public airways have specific rules & ABC knows it

What "specific rule" was violated? I'd hate to think you were spewing bullshit.

Generally speaking
The broadcast by a station of false information concerning a crime or catastrophe violates the FCC’s rules if:
The station licensee knew that the information was false;
Broadcasting the false information directly causes substantial public harm; and
It was foreseeable that broadcasting the false information would cause such harm
You can argue "substantial public harm" either way.
I still say it was a business decision.

Why do you twits always have to whatabout everything, and pretend that these cases are the same?
Oh right. Because cognitive dissonance is a bitch.
You don't think people can see through your avoidance strategy, you are wrong.
Yes, the dissonance is a problem for you.
Irony!

I do. Kimmel is not prohibited from speaking his mind.
The companies carrying his show are NOT REQUIRED to provide him with a platform.
It was a business decision based on viewership and canceled subscriptions to Disney Plus and Hulu.
He is free to proclaim his thoughts elsewhere.
If the FCC Chair didn't push his weight around do you think Disney would've suspended him?
