    As an immediate illustration to your point apparently Reddit politics has apparently been removing this story left and right.

      Out of curiosity, I went and checked the front page of r/all. Of the current top 25 posts, these are the ones which pertain to the Kimmel situation followed by their respective subreddit:

      /1. news /2. askreddit /3. cringetiktoks /7. technology /9. nofilternews /10. politics /13. fauxmoi /14. facepalm /18. whitepeopletwitter /23. popculturechat

      The post on r/politics pertains to before the show was pulled, but it was posted after it was officially pulled. Some subreddits do delete repeat posts that are about the same story to keep the discussion all in one thread, so maybe that has happened with that subreddit?

        I’ll try to find the one I navigated to but they kept getting closed for being “off topic”.

        Also I’d argue the FCC making a threat and ABC actually pulling the guy are 2 separate stories.

        I don’t think it’s some Reddit wide cabal as much as R/Politics sucking
