What does a TRUMP presidency look like?

[Baron von Schtinkenbutt]

Sure, it's lazy...but not horrifyingly so.  Especially as most people (outside gamers) probably barely realize that Valve exists.

And understandable...from my experience recently in watching oversight committees, it is often experts  or clowns being poorly questioned by grandstanding human fossils...and clowns.

See also the number of people who refer to "PlayStation" as a company, rather than a product of Sony.  Hell, Research In Motion finally just changed their legal name to Blackberry because so many people called the company that.  Valve is kinda getting into a similar place with Steam, because it's been a long time since Valve did anything notable that wasn't Steam-related.

Yeah to be honest I thought Steam and Blackberry were companies

Its a normal thing to think, imo. Now, why does Jeff Bezos doesn't get called out for Twitch? Ultimately he's the actual CEO.

Perhaps but you are not the one sending subpoenas out.

I initially thought about that as well (and of making a comparison to Valve/Steam confusion being akin to confusing Google/Alphabet or Facebook/Meta), but doing some quick research, Twitch (and Google/Facebook) are subsidiary companies with their own CEOs.

Steam is not, but I see your point (from a "chain of command" perspective).

Jimmy Kimmel has been suspended from ABC after threats from the FCC to remove their license if they didn't act.

[Sophie Scholl]

Indefinitely at that. He dared say bad things about Dear Leader.

I thought that the "GOPOversight" tweak was a parody. Is there evidence that that was actually House Republicans who sent it?

That's how free speech works in the US now.  You are absolutely free to say anything that the Chairman of the FCC approves of.

Apparently Sinclair Media stations (the nation's largest ABC provider) will be airing an hour long Charlie Kirk tribute during the former Kimmel Show slot.

They made the mistake of allowing Colbert some runway at the end. They weren't going to make that mistake again.

Sounds like the above image has a little more hyperbole than the reality...the letters read like invitations, not subpoenas.

Here's the music they'll be playing

I, for one, am shocked that major corporate owned media companies are serving their own interests rather than that of the public.

Once again celebrating the memory of Free Speech Charlie by suppressing expression.

For Guller & Co. - this is what real cancel culture actually looks like, with the full power and might of the federal government behind it. Real, literal cancellation.
