If these Mediaopolies continue to capitulate to Trump and his FCC it needs to come at a cost.

FCC Chairman Brendan Carr: "There's actions we can take on licensed broadcasters. It's long past the time that...Comcast and Disney say 'We're not gonna run Kimmel anymore...because we licensed broadcasters are running the possibly of fines or licensed revocation from the FCC.'"

YES. Good Wife & Fight had the same biting feel to me as SNL's 1998 "Mediaopoly" sketch, with one of the most subversive lines ever on network TV ("You contribute to this chain every time you buy a product sponsored on this show, That's what NBC doesn't want you to know."); which SNL later censored.
