Should comedians have boundaries?

ABC cancelled Kimmel for an opinion. As a note, this wasn’t even for a joke, it was for comedic commentary on current events. Not legal consequences, but corporate consequences that evidence points to being spearheaded by Donald Trump - he said Kimmel would be next after Colbert.

I am always leaning towards freedom of speech and popular opinion thankfully agrees with me because Disney has had a large number of subscriptions cancelled. It's amazing that a liberal company like disney would fire someone for criticizing the worst president that we've ever had.

This is why I think the idea of "liberal companies" is kind of nonsense in the vast majority of situations. When faced with a decision between leftist goals and money, they repeatedly choose money, contradicting their supposed politics. If you are a shareholder you will see this every time voting comes around. There's typically a couple questions about producing a report about the impact of the business on the environment or certain social questions. I have never seen the board support these measures. 

These are capitalist companies which wear liberalism and/or progressivism as a thin facade. Seemingly the only ones they are fooling are the right.
