It is absolutely clear what no longer can be explained with bullshit answers. The Trump administration will lie and violate all values including free speech, criticism of any kind, and the art of satire.
And, it will threaten the very license of broadcasters.
It appalls me that the Fairness Doctrine was killed in 1987, which allowed a broadcaster like Fox to have access to public airwaves for their particular distortions without the need to offer alternative views and yet Jimmy Kimmel now is off the air due to threats to ABC’s license to air.
There is no choice. Turn off the television. Say you are doing so in every forum you engage in. Let the advertisers know that we, the folks whose dollars they aspire for, are not watching the broadcasters who cave to such nonsense. Take your credit cards and put them in a plastic cup and put them in the freezer. Only release them from the small claw of ice when you are certain about the values of the company from which you are buying. Stay local, small.
Don’t turn that blasted tube or stream or social on and tell people why.
Maybe someone will have the courage to start a new, values driven, media organization that we can all invest in and put Kimmel and Colbert back to back.
Tremendous concept.. silence isn’t golden with what we are now dealing with as we are loosing our rights and control faster than ever. Great write up there Mr Morris
