  ABC will rue the day the capitulated on this.  Trump has now said that broadcast licenses should be pulled for saying anything against him.  

Which is a direct threat to the 1st amendment.

While there is some fire to the "At will employment", that it came about due to pressure from the Chairman from the FCC is a civil rights violation.  I do hope that Kimmel sues, so this can get pushed to SCOTUS.  It won't stop here.
