Well, you asked Legato for a link that said the company had made the decision to fire Kimmel before the FCC contacted them. Where do you expect this info would come from? Who else could confirm that they were planning to axe him anyway? Jimmy Kimmel's psychic?

For what it's worth, I think the FCC should not have gotten involved here at all. That said, government applied pressure to silence free speech during the Biden regime. There are far more examples of it. Were you complaining then? 

Canceling free speech of AMATEURS about LIFE SAVING vaccines is a PUBLIC HEALTH issue on which LIVES DEPEND.

There has ALWAYS BEEN EXTRA LEEWAY about speech on those issues.

Ever heard of QUARANTINE? In which the government has the authority to deny YOUR FREEDOM because it would be a THREAT TO OTHERS' LIVES.

You're talking about when Twitter decided as a private company that they didn't want to spread dangerous misinformation during a pandemic? That was when Trump was still president.

The FCC was clear in it's threat and ABC promptly responded. You don't have to make excuses about why you're now against free speech. It's pretty obvious why.

Nope, talking about when they did while Biden was President and they admitted the government pressured them to do it and there is evidence of such communications as well.

Katie Johnson. She withdrew her case after claiming she was threatened. CDNFOX decided to lie for Trump and say she recanted. She did not

If so, that would be wrong. I stand for free speech.

See how easy that is?

So the FCC guy said something you don't like, will you defend it as free speech.

I’m just gonna leave this here.  It will be my last post on this subject.

I don't know. It seems his ratings were extremely low. So, it wouldn't surprise me. Why do you ask for a link to something you plan on denying anyway? You know that any info on this would have to come from the company.

Would you at least concede that it’s a highly suspicious coincidence for Carr to make a threat and the guy to be suspended so soon afterwards? A claim by somebody with a huge financial interest in lying is not what I was looking for. If it were true, there should be a lot more internal evidence backing it up that the plan was in motion. And for how long are they saying they thought this? A day or two is statistically unlikely, let’s say.

I am not using it as justification. I just said I think it was wrong. I agree with Ben Shapiro on this. The FCC should not be involved. It is a dangerous game. I am just asking why you weren't complaining when the Biden regime was using the force of govt to cancel people. I am questioning your concern over free speech. If you were legitimately concerned you would be more focused on this country where people are more apt to be punished for it.

The way you put that is quite woke. You move from addressing the factual veracity of what I am saying on this particular matter to go after my intent, my ‘concern over free speech’. Why not address whether what I am saying is true or false and leave all that intent stuff for the psychotherapists? 

I’m not a free speech absolutist. I was appalled by the outrageous lies told by Alex Jones about the Sandy Hook parents which prolonged their nightmare for years. What he said wasn’t one opinion but an elaborate and sustained falsehood about a massacre of children that he claimed did not happen.

She had no case, it was dismissed. She had no evidence. So... what are you droning on about for?

You just want to squabble over the difference between dismissing a case from 10 years ago, no longer bringing it up or pursuing anything and recanting?

Threatening the ILLEGAL use of government powers for POLITICAL PURPOSES is NOT JUST SPEECH, lDIOT.

It's is COERCION and ILLEGAL.

Those are literally the facts. Whatever criminal case was dismissed, she dismissed her own suit on her own with no evidence presented... 

This was 10 years ago, so what are you droning on for?

Because she was threatened. Unless you're calling her a liar. In which case, why would you do that?

So you’ll let liberal democracy disappear because of cancel culture? A tad short-sighted. 

Maybe you should have taken that stance when the left was doing it unchecked. 

Oh by the way, new liberal anti free speech bill is about to be presented in parliament, and i didn't hear you complaining about their last censorship bill either. 

but my me my don't you get all moralistic when it's being used AGAINST the left. 

Speak out more when it's your turn and THEN ask us to care when it's not.

She did and i provided proof it was all a hoax in the first place.  Withdrawing her claim BOTH TIMES is an admission that the claims were not valid AS WAS LATER SHOWN, and she never provided even a hint of evidence she was threatened. 

That's what withdrawing an accusaiton is btw.  " I HAVE FORMALLY MADE THIS ACCUSATION OF A CRIME, I NOW NO LONGER MAKE THIS CLAIM AND I AM FORMALLY WITHDRAWING MY COMPLAINT"

1. formally or publicly withdraw one's previous statement

She literally recanted.  That is precisely what she did. TWICE.  And it was proved to be a scam 

 

You're a liar and you just proved it again   Thanks for playing

Cancel culture is not the same as government censorship. In any case, ask the Dixie Chicks, Bill Maher, and Colin Kaepernick. You guys invented cancel culture 

Don't try to pretend you were ever for free speech. You never were. I, however, was then and I am now. You'll lie and say I wasn't but you'll have as much evidence as you do your claim I supported Bill Clinton or that Trump's accuser recanted her story.

She didn't withdraw her statement. She dropped her case after being threatened. There's a difference.

Sorry but it was 100 percent a left wing invention and we complained about it for ages.  You haven't got enough gas in that light to fire up a candle   LOL that was pathetic,

Liar.  when busted you always accuse others of what you yourself do. You supported a rapist and then tried to claim others support rapists, you habe spoken against free speech and or remained silent and now claim everyone else is against free speech. It's a very left wing thing to do and you do it constantly.

It's literally the exact same thing, except she was never threatened.  "dropping" a case is "withdrawing your cliam".  It's precisely the same thing 

Nice try twat   and i love that you threw in the fake "threatened"  part to try to somehow bolster your changing of legal terms

 

But hey, provide one scrap of evidence she was threatened.  I mean she must have had some, she wouldn't be shy about showing it seeing as she'd already been public. I assume they didn't threaten her with telepathy   Go ahead. 

 

She recanted, the charges turned out to have been a publicity thing anyway, you're a liar, nothing has changed.

Kimmel was suspended by both the Sinclair and Nexstar organisations before the Carr comment. ABC was after.

No he was NOT. They suspended the NEXT DAY AFTER Carr's "easy or hard way" statement. I've posted that evidence and you've posted BUPKIS.

Dozens of ABC stations to air Charlie Kirk tribute special at Jimmy Kimmel’s time slot after Disney indefinitely shelves show

https://nypost.com/2025/09/18/media/dozens-of-abc-stations-to-air-charlie-kirk-tribute-special-at-jimmy-kimmels-time-slot/

Sinclair broadcast group has long been a notorious right wing cabal that forces the local tv news anchors to recite right wing drivel written by the corporate office.   So no surprise here.

They were both after. And back when Colbert was canceled Trump tweeted “Kimmel IS NEXT”

 

Sinclair is a notorious right wing network. Nextstar amd Disney/ABC both have big merger deals in the works that require approval from Carr so they had to curry favour with the new dictator and his weaponized bureaucracy just as CBS had to throw Colbert under the bus to save their Paramount merger.
