I realized I left seth meyers off the list, but sounded better the way I did it

How long until they get to John Oliver and Bill Maher? Those are the two I watch.

I could see john in their crosshairs, but bill tends to have a lot of guest who are very much right wing (ben Shapiro, Bannon, Chris rufo) so would think less likely.  Although Trump did try to sue bill for 1 million

It’s not about your favorite comedian…

Can we get John Oliver off the air for being insufferable, unfunny, and only informative to the most uneducated slackjaws within the Progressive wing of the left?

You got my vote.

I don't always agree with him but I do find him hilarious.

Hes one of those buffoons that thinks staring at the camera wide-eyed and adding the word “fucking” as an adjective into a sentence is the height of comedy.

It kind of is.

When my daughter was three, we were are the in-laws for Xmas. We're drinking some kind of Ommegang Hennepin beer. My Catholicism obsessed father in law launches into a long, boring story about Father Hennepin. Any my daughter interrupts him and announces, "This cheese is so FUCKING good."

John Oliver could only dream of that happening.

To be clear, the FCC has determined that a person on television cannot be “misleading” about “facts”.

It’s an interesting issue. To play devils advocate. A company can decide what its people can or can’t say, right? Where it gets complicated is when  they decide one way or another based on government threats (and particularly in a media company).

But Foxnews lies constantly and nobody cares and their defense in court was they provide entertainment….not tell the truth. I mean it’s hard to argue that Foxnews is not more misleading than Kimmel.

Of course I wish companies had more of a backbone but the real culprit here are Trump and his minions who are acting like a Ministry of Propaganda in Moscow or Beijing.

I shall not attempt to define what is ‘misleading’ and what is a ‘fact’ but I know it when I see it!
