Tim Miller: Cancellation of Kimmel’s Show ‘Is Straight Out of the Authoritarian Playbook’

‘It’s certainly more of a corruption story than it’s a cancel culture story’

EXCERPT:

MILLER: “Well, I mean, this is — I don’t even think that it should be in the frame of cancel culture, right? Because we can all debate what we think about cancel culture and whether that’s good or bad. That’s like, not what this is. This is the federal government pressuring media companies to silence critics of the president. I mean, this is straight out of the authoritarian playbook. It is an attempt to silence speech directly from the government. And it’s also corruption, right? And I think it’s as much a corruption — it’s certainly more of a corruption story than is a cancel culture story.”
