> government swiftly, immediately and directly cancelling a show from a private company

That appears to be a false statement. Private company made that decision on their own after public pressured it to.

A fitting quote by no other but Mr Kimmel himself, who said this in a very similar situation:

I want to say kudos to my bosses at ABC for doing the right thing and canceling Roseanne’s show today. It’s not an easy thing to do when a show is successful, but it’s the right thing.
