Like, if you're Jimmy Kimmel and you're ABC, you feel pretty good about what's going to happen here.

You have the power to fight back.

If you're a smaller network...

you may not.

If you're someone who does not have Jimmy Kimmel's clout, I mean, Jimmy Kimmel's basically known as the mayor of Hollywood, he's so popular, then it could cause you to think twice before you say certain things or do certain things.

Or it could cause the executives at smaller networks or maybe networks who have more in front of Trump, like at Paramount, who have more stake in what the Trump administration does than ABC does to take it, kill a story.

The thing is,

We know about the jokes that happen or the stories that happen or the comments that happen that then get some response.

What we don't know about are the stories and the jokes that don't happen because people are afraid of the response.

And that is ultimately what Benincar is trying to do here.

I'm not suggesting that.

Despite this long defense of corporate America.

Yeah, I think that's true.

I think hopefully people are beginning to realize that.

We're going to get to an exception on this later in the podcast when it comes to the Amazon Corporation.

But if you even take the Nora O'Donnell report, like the Nora O'Donnell, she did a good job.

She asked the tough questions.

That was an uncomfortable situation to be in, and she persevered through it.

But there is a report today that

CBS really edited out a bunch of sort of Trump nonsense.
