ABC chose to cancel his show. Trump didn’t.
The FCC said they might investigate because there are laws around what can be shown/said on free to air broadcast television, and blatant lying and spreading misinformation for political reasons is, shockingly, not allowed.

You seem to either be uninformed or not commenting in good faith. The FCC explicitly coerced Disney, Trump in his own words says they are going after these companies for being critical of him. Using the power of the state in this way is categorically different than social movements trying to “cancel” people.

Got some evidence of that? Since you said “explicitly” I take it that the FCC publicly told them to fire him and cancel his show, right?

Yes, pay attention to what is happening? Go look at the words of Carr. Go look at what Trump has been saying. It is completely transparent that critics must be silenced or the power of the state will be used to interfere in your business.

You must have accidentally forgotten to provide the quotes and sources? Just put them in your next reply :)
Only one side is silencing their critics - that’s what happened to cause all this, remember? Your side silenced the “let’s have a conversation” guy by murdering him.
