Tim Allen's Last Man Standing sitcom has been cancelled by ABC.
This is surprising because the show has been one of the most watched shows on ABC only behind Modern Family and Grey's Anatomy.
Rumors are flying that Tim Allen is too conservative for ultra liberal Hollywood so they canned him after he repeatedly triggered them with conservative, pro Trump comments.
I ran a search and the MSM (main stream media) is not reporting on the cancellation. No TMZ reports, no ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, etc. Why would they not report on a prime time show being cancelled unless they don't want to publicize the issue? Seems pretty strange to me. If Modern Family was cancelled, it would be all over the "news".

Fans are signing petitions to boycott ABC and asking "why?"

It’s not often a network cancels its second most-watched comedy in a sudden, surprising move. Usually, if a show that important to a network has to go out, it’s granted some sort of “this will be your final season” reprieve. (Think of how CBS handled the end of How I Met Your Mother in 2014, for instance.)
Yet such a scenario has unfolded — surprising most industry observers (myself included) — with ABC’s Last Man Standing, a Tim Allen star vehicle that airs Friday nights and quietly pulls in more total viewers than any comedy on the network not named Modern Family. Indeed, it’s ABC’s third most-watched scripted show, period, after Modern Family and number one series Grey’s Anatomy. (Deadline has more exact viewership data, should you so desire.) And yet the network canceled it after its sixth season, without even a planned series finale.
The cancellation has left some conservative pundits wondering if Last Man Standing was canceled because Allen himself is conservative, and his character on the series is as well. (The other characters around him lean more toward the moderate or liberal, making Last Man Standing sort of a modern update of All in the Family, where everybody seems to have gotten their talking points from cable news.)
