The right cancels Kimmel

[zymurgy]

Most likely but then liberal heads would explode.

I get why no similar option is on vs the view. we are productive and work in that time slot

But how the progressives succeeded in monopolizing the nightly news and the comedy stuff right after is something that we should seek to stop

 

[Yakuda]

Yes, that's how the government censors people without actually doing anything. Neither ABC, Sinclair, etc wants to fight with Trump's government, so they fire Kimmel because it's much easier to do that than spend millions of dollars and hundreds of hours fighting the federal government.

The point is, the FCC shouldn't be publicly commenting on individuals or individual business. If the government acted professionally, and wasn't run by a Mafia boss, they'd address any concerns privately and conduct an investigation if necessary.

You know what would have worked best? If kimmel spent more time trying to entertain than proselytize. If he did he probably wouldn't have gotten fired, but there one thing we can always count on with leftists. They'll run their mouths then get punched in the mouth then use that mouth to piss and moan about getting punched in the mouth. People are sick and tired of your whining.

The FCC is mandated by Congress to monitor the content of individuals and individual businesses that use the airwaves to conduct their business.

They are doing their job, legally, when they do so.

In the past, the FCC did not allow age inappropriate content until after 10 PM.

It’s rich that the left who used government over and over to force the media to censor right wing groups are now crying censorship.

 

[Earl]

Good.

I look forward to that standard being applied by the next Dem Administration on Fox and other magat media lies.

With prior cries of 'free speech' from the right and to 'keep gov't out of policing it' as Carr himself said prior, i am glad he has changed and you magats support it.

Gov't cracks downs on free speech, when it comes to lies needs to be the new standard. I stand with Earl in speaking out against what Carr used to say and believe and welcome the enforcing of this standard.

You stand alone kewpie boy.

If you don’t like what the FCC is doing, win a Congressional election and a presidency and have them appoint a Commissioner that you agree with.

 

[Earl]

This thread is mislabeled. The right did not cancel Kimmel. ABC and their affiliates canceled him…for financial reasons. His lie about the killer being right wing was just the straw that broke the camel’s back.

Irrelevant to a discussion about government censorship.

I know. The nerve I must have to fight for free speech. Remember when Republicans used to believe in that?

Then the FCC should address it with Sinclair, ABC and Disney privately, not publicly threaten them.

No it's very relevant

Jimmy is free is free to say whatever he wants. And he did. You aren't fighting for free speech you're fighting for freedom from consequences of that free speech. Don't wrap yourself in bullshit and pretend you don't stink.

Consequences legal, protected speech can't come from the government. You've heard of the constitution, right?

If Kimmel's employer wants to fire him for what he said, absolutely, go for it.

 

[Damocles]

The shooter was a product of a VERY conservative family. A heterosexual family. A religious family. Lived in one of the most conservative states in America.

Jesus H. Fucking Christ...give reality a try.

There is no way this administration should have been moving in the direction of getting rid of him...getting him off the air.

POS Trump just cannot take any activity that is not kissing his ass. He refused to go to the correspondence dinners, because they would roast him the way they roasted every president.

The guy is a major league loser...this administration is probably the worst ever. Trump is putting Harding to shame as a grifter.

Wake up...all of you.

ANYONE NOT ACTIVELY OPPOSING THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION IS ESSENTIALLY CONDONING TREASON.

LOL. Geebus, you are STILL trying to make a radicalized leftist into a MAGA based on his daddy being a conservative. Just stop. You are embarrassing yourself.

The leftist violence graduated from shooting cops in the back of the head to trying to silence free speech with ammunition etched with nonsense memes. They shot a man that would have let them rant at him on an open microphone because he said some things they disagreed with.

Some leftist living with his trans girlfriend and shooting a Free Speech advocate for allowing dialogue or participating in opinions which he didn't agree with is no MAGA. You don't believe it, I don't believe it, Jarod doesn't believe it, Kimmel doesn't believe it, but you are all still trying to gaslight everyone else. Nobody believes that bovine feces you are serving up is steak.

If Democrats had their druthers, they would claim that John Wilkes Booth was a Republican and was firing his gun in celebration of the great victory over the south.

There was nothing conservative about him. He lamented his dad being "MAGA". His "partner" was a male, living as a female, dressed like a dog. He repeatedly explains his actions against Kirk as "hate" motivated. His own mother said he had become more political and liberal over that last year.

 

[Earl]

Then the FCC should address it with Sinclair, ABC and Disney privately, not publicly threaten them.

The comments by Commissioner Carr were totally appropriate and the old policy of “in the public interest” is now in force.

The were totally inappropriate. Making public threats to punish legal speech is not appropriate.

“It was not making fun,” said Carr, who hours before Kimmel’s show was pulled off the air suggested the FCC might take action against ABC and its parent company, Disney.

“It was appearing to directly mislead the American public about a significant fact that probably one of the most significant political events we’ve had in a long time, for the most significant political assassination we’ve seen in a long time,” he said.

Utah court documents filed Tuesday in connection with the murder charge against Robinson say his mother told investigators, “Over the last year or so, her son had become more political and had started to lean more to the left, becoming more pro gay and trans-rights oriented.”




Those documents also say that when Robinson was asked why he killed Kirk, “Robinson explained there is too much evil, and [Kirk] spreads too much hate.”

A day before those documents were filed, Kimmel, in his show’s opening monologue Monday, said, “The MAGA Gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it.”

Commissioner Carr was 100% right and it was appropriate to warn ABC.

ABC had a fiduciary responsibility to protect the company and shut Kimmel down.

 

[LurchAddams]

There is no new FCC standard. Commissioner Carr stated clearly the the “public interest” obligation was not enforced in the past and that it would be enforced now. The standard was always there.

It is not in the public interest for anyone who uses the public airwaves to tell a dangerous lie.

Government is working properly, efficacy is a ten.

Now you guys need to go after Fallon. While you're silencing voices of the opposition, you might as well be thorough - don't forget to cancel Maddow and O'Donnel!

Those are most likely on Trump’s hit list.

Can’t wait to see which organizations are labeled Antifa!

Kind of feels like we're gonna live in a right-wing world for awhile.

Oh, wow - saying something misleading within a few days of an incident? Jumping to conclusions?

Yeah - no right wing broadcasts do that. No one on Fox does that.
