@Nonilex Good article. I hope Stephen Colbert ends up on the internet somewhere, just as popular and even less restrained.

@Nonilex If nothing else, if you’re pretending to live in a free country, it helps to see people free to express opinions that differ from those mandated by the authorities. That pretense is a great safety valve against revolution.

…#Trump rejoiced over #StephenColbert’s cancellation posting, “I absolutely love” that the host “got fired.” He followed it with: “I hear Jimmy Kimmel is next.” Just 2 months later, ABC…temporarily suspended Kimmel….
#TV experts said there are not many other examples of a hit show being shuttered due to #political pressure. In 1969, CBS abruptly canceled “The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour,” which had aired comedy bits in opposition of the Vietnam War & in support of civil rights.
@Nonilex I will forever remember this monologue… Trump is obviously still fuming over it.

What we should take from this is that a US President who is such a narcissist and so thin-skinned that he cannot take even a humorous criticism. -
