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. 

Nope, both before.

Why are you attempting to defend a washed up "comedian"?

The whole thing is an exercise in marketing. Kimmel was bleeding money so the networks dumped him, good riddance.

She said she was threatened. I believe it.

She was already proven to be a liar and the event was staged.  So why would you believe it other than it suits your narrative to continue the lie?

IF she was threatened, where's the proof? I mean she's not trying to hide it apprently so why not produce the threat? Even if it was by phone she could provide phone logs. 

this "threat",  did it say "this is maga country" and was she holding a subway sandwich at the time?!?! LOLOLOL

You’ll have to ask her.

Why?  WHy do we have to ask her?  Why would't she give details, she's already "gone public"?

There was no threat.  They ginned the whole thing up and it was coming apart and she knew she'd lied and had to retreat and recant. 

Pathetic.  So this guy uses a 14 year old girl to stir up clickbait for his media and you SUPPORT the exploitation of kids in that fashion apparently. 

You're closer to being a pedophile than trump.

False. 
 

TV host Jimmy Kimmel has been pulled off air indefinitely after comments he made about the shooting of Charlie Kirk, ABC has said.

The decision came hours after Brendan Carr, chair of broadcast regulator, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), threatened to act against ABC and its parent company Disney over the remarks.

Lets say for a moment he is. He isn't really but it's close enough that we can say so for the purposes of discussion. 

So what.  This is what you and others on the left wanted the rules to be like 

I mean, did you raise a complaint when it was found out biden gave instructions to the social media platforms to repress and suppress right wing groups such as the daily wire and others? No? I seem to recall you thinking that was ok. 

Or how about the fbi etc threatening people over discussing the biden notebook during the eleciton, even daring to mention it could have severe impacts and get you fired or worse.  

You seemed pretty calm then. 

So, after 4 years of pretty heavy censorship from the biden admin (52 examples i believe of him censoring people?)  you SUDDENLY have an issue with it. 

So here's the deal.  I hate censorship. I think it's bad. I think most on the right don't like it.  BUT at the end of the day, we all have to play by the same rules. You can't have one set for the bidens and a different one for the trumps.  Despite YEARS of the right complaining about cancel culture and censorship the left insisted it was good and healthy. 

well, now you get to live with it too.  

When you guys start calling out your OWN people when they do it, then you can come talk to the right about calling out right wing people for doing it.  

Same with all the other things we've been complaining about such as lawfare, making up new rules for the border, etc etc. You open the door, you can't get mad if someone else walks through.

Ttrmp was president then. Did he get the FCC to fire her too? No? Then that’s irrelevant. Try to keep up.

True,

Kimmel was pulled for financial reasons, his derogatory comment was the excuse ABC, Sinclair and Nexstar had been looking for. Good riddance.

Except, your crying on here is not just about the government violating 1st Amendment, it is also about "cancel culture," which, to the point here, Kimmel was celebrating before.

Nope. It’s just about the first amendment. I don’t care about private citizens boycotting things they don’t like.

OK... so what are you droning on about then? The government didn't force anything to happen here.

On the contrary, they did and they even bragged about it. Try to keep up.

No, they did not. I have kept up just fine. This was an opinion piece.

Maybe they’re upset at your contempt and disrespect for Kirk, in that you are exploiting his death to get rid of the free speech he fought for.

The facts aren’t opinions. Are you trying to deny reality again because it makes you look like a piece of shit?

The head of the FCC said this: “When we see stuff like this, look, we can do this the easy way or the hard way. These companies can find ways to change conduct, on Kimmel, or there’s going to be additional work for the FCC ahead.”

The argument is not about what the FCC chair said. 

The fact is that the FCC did not actually do anything. 

 

[Chrissy1979]

After they did his bidding, he admitted it was unprecedented: “While this may be an unprecedented decision, it is important for broadcasters to push back on Disney programming that they determine falls short of community values. I hope that other broadcasters follow Nexstar’s lead.”

 

Notice how I’m not too chickenshit to post exactly what I’m talking about, when asked?

Yes, he threatened ABC, telling them to fire Kimmel or face the consequences. Denying reality does not strengthen your argument.
