Honestly it doesn’t matter if ABC returns Kimmel and his show to air. The exercise (fascist politicians exerting their influence through the oligarchy to punish critical speech) has served its purpose (to be a chilling effect on anyone with the mind to speak truth to power).
It’s a stern tug on the leash.
This is why independent media is so important, and we need a lot more of it.
This is why the show coming back isn’t enough; the execs who made the decision to comply with fascists need to themselves be ousted, at the bare minimum.

I think its the opposite from your take. The fascists got knocked down and now look weak. Other organizations that try to capitulate now see there’s backlash that happens and should be more emboldened to reject the fascist demands.
