"They" can say anything they want, doesn't make it true. It probbably won't get that far, Kimmel, and Cobert are in a good position, where they can just go to other platforms not controlled by the FCC and take their audience with them, and have probbably gained a few out of all this. Simmilar to what Howard Stern did when he moved to Sirrus Radio. This is still a hit to the 1st amendment, and fromt he looks of it, it won't stop here.
