God Bless you! We all have to work together to make sure that all information that comes out is True! Even if we have to fact check everything (hope they don't take them over as well). Everything that seems to come out of "their" mouths about freedom of speech is only for "their" benefit. Allowing them to say and do whatever in their minds they feel is free for them and NOT for WE the people of this nation. So wrong on so many levels. Let US hope that the TRUTH will set US Free in the future and that we can get back to a more stable way of life instead of chaos at every turn.

I'm shocked at how "thin skinned" the people are that are trying to erase sarcasm and comedy from late night. Heck they aren't swearing on tv and they are speaking the truth what is so wrong about that! I hope all the late night comics that "they" are erasing (or trying to) find new homes that are less volatile than where they are!

The reach is going deep into our freedoms. Shameful.

I really feel this move (firing the incredibly popular Kimmel) just added even more momentum to the growing sinkhole Trump’s insanity and narcissism is sucking he and his followers into. This sinkhole is slowly but surely growing every day.

Remember the day Trump's brother Robert died? Neither does Trump. He was out playing golf.

This is not cancel culture is state repression , like David Frum said. Maybe because I lived in Argentina during the dictatorship, I saw all this coming since Jan 6 2021. Slow motion coup, now accelerating.

We all have to wake up...yesterday I tried to use my valid MasterCard debit card to subscribe Lincoln Square and it was blocked. My bank said someone had put a block on Lincoln Square as a scammer. My guess is that this was just s probe and they can cut off your funding anytime they want. I use my card many times daily and this is the only block I have run into. You are doing a real service but we all are in perilous times.

Cowardice is contagious, as the corporate media networks have shown, but strength can also be contagious and I hope Lincoln Square and other independent media outlets can lead the way. Corporate media is more concerned about their multi million$ paychecks than democracy, he rule of law, free speech or the constitution.

That is great because I have been dismayed at all the companies, people, firms and universities who have bent the knee.

THANK YOU, LINCOLN SQUARE! We don't need any more cowards, we have enough of those. What we need are heroes willing to stand up and say, "NO!" to the authoritarian demands of his regime. Thank you, Lincoln Square for always being there to draw the line.

Actually I have been expecting this for some time. FCC licensing is the Damocles sword hanging over broadcast media. Who controls the FCC controls broadcast. The question should be will this expanded to the Internet and streaming

Unreal. I can’t ditch Disney because of grandchild. Her mother dismissed them

a year ago and is a Universal Studio mom. ABC & NBC & Paramount are out of my channel cue. I can live without telly. We never had one until I was 15 in 1972. My own adult children don’t have television.

My husband’s family was active in the Danish Resistance during WWII. Nazi’s took over their farm. They had curfews. They had Nazi’s eating their farm animals. They were eating grass and weeds by the end of the war. They traded cigarettes to Nazi soldiers for guns & ammunition because the soldiers were children. Typical soldier, “my mother says I’m 15. Hitler says I’m 19.” If they can do without, we can too.

Midterms must turn Congress…unless they turn quickly, seated Republicans are in trouble. Trump can’t buy the votes of farms already heading to foreclosure. He can’t uncrash the real estate industry that is on the cusp. He can’t shut RFK Jr up. He can’t give Pete Kegsbreath common sense. He can’t force Nobel Prize Committee to nominate him. He can’t control NATO’s response to Ukraine & Poland. They know what Russia is capable of. He can’t expect UAE to be trusted with the chips. If he lets Maxwell out, the actual trafficker…every woman and man with a daughter will know what he is made of. I’m pissed she’s out of high security prison and could get work release. Such a fucking criminal liar!
