    I mean even on ‘alternative media’ there are really not many self-made individual leftists with wide viewership. I suppose my other point is that it is still a problem when the government also tries to censor people who are not leftists.

      It’s just ironic considering Colbert and Kimmel themselves have censored leftists throughout their careers. They themselves are part of this threat you’re speaking of…

        How did they censor leftists? With the power of the government behind them?

          Brother, Kimmel had his security assault numerous Pro-Palestine advocates at his show during a Kamala Harris taping…

          Colbert is literally on the DNC payroll. You think that Mamdani interview wasn’t coordinated?

            Can I see the context of this assault?

            Not sure what Colbert being on the DNC payroll or a gotcha interview with Mamdani has to do with censorship.

              You don’t know what the DNC has to do with censoring leftists?? Am I speaking to an adult right now?

                In this context, no. Are you arguing that because the Democrats censor people, or something, that therefore anyone who is part of the Democrats is therefore censoring by extension?

                    This is absurd. So did Colbert or Kimmel specifically use their power (whatever that is) to shut down, for instance, other comedians shows? Did they try and get people who criticise them arrested?
