So they kick out Nikhil Singh, and they keep Louis Walsh. This was how the damn nazis started to corrupt Germany back in the day, throttling all channels of creative expression that did not conform to government standards until in the end there was only the government's approved list of artists, singers, scientists and whoever. Everyone else, they were hoping to just shoot in the head and afterwards just airbrush their names out of history.
As far as I could see it's just that they've changed the rules, leaving a few people confused. It's still possible to come over as a short term working artist if you do lots of ground work and have lots of money for all the fees, which is shitty, but hardly censorship, let alone comparable to the Nazis.
