You're not wrong, I personally didn't even like Kimmel, but money walks, and I hope it still has some speech left to it.

From what I understand based on Colbert's monologue, their motivations for suspending Kimmel is completely monetary based. ABC affiliate company Nexstar made a $6.2 billion deal to acquire TEGNA Inc and Disney which owns ABC made a deal to get some NFL assets in exchange for a 10% stake in ESPN (valued at around $3 billion).

Both of these acquisitions will need FCC approval to go through. Take a guess at what they're willing to do to get that approval.

Not to sound like a broken record, but this is again a real world example of why corporations aren't people. The entire point of forming a corporation is to make a company completely devoid of individual responsibility. It becomes its own entity, but that entity is a machine. Each individual within the company is just following a predetermined set of rules/orders.

They'll always just do what helps them make money over what is moral, but I don't even believe that's a disparaging remark as much as a factual one. It's just how corporations are meant to work.

Corporations are absolved of moral responsibility just like any machine. Since the ends have already been predetermined, the closest to individual autonomy humans have is the decision to participate or not.

Either they make money, or they don't survive. Starving corporations by not feeding them your money is literally the only way to force them to change their predetermined survival strategy or perish. It's also why huge conglomerates that take away any choice in support are such a threat. If we keep allowing them, ultimately, humans will probably be forced to either just give in to the machine or boycott modern society altogether.

I mean just cause your government thinks corporations are people, they are not.

That would be a blatant first amendment violation. Their capitulation is the only thing making the threat function.
