The right cancels Kimmel

[Nomad]

That is no threat. Saying thank you after a decision was made is not a threat by any measure.

It says in black and white that he threatened to take action against ABC.

What would you call it?

 

[Damocles]

People are trying to portray it now as a ratings thing.

I have no problem w/ a company making this decision based on ratings & money.

That's not what this appears to be.

I am portraying it as what it was. A corporation making a decision that they felt would make them more money.

 

[Nomad]

And once again. Saying thank you for a decision you've made is not a threat or an exercise of government power.

Please read the first sentence and don't make me call you an idiot.

 

[Teflon Don]

It's called Google.

Type in "Who is FCC Chairman?"

You'll have your proof lickety split.

Honestly I don’t really care. Fuck Jimmy Kimmel. He spread lies and hate for too long. I dance on his unemployed bones. It is about time the left felt our wrath. There is more to come and you can do nothing to stop it. How does it make you feel to be so ineffectual and inconsequential?

Nobody cares. You really don’t either. You probably never watched him

Never watched a single show.

I care about freedom.

How does it feel to be such a sad redneck loser who's so filled with rage and resentment towards people who are better than you, that you'd spew such ignorant shit?

Nobody cares. You really don’t either. You probably never watched him

Nobody cares about you, ignorant redneck trash bag.

Kimmel said the right wanted the killer to be anyone but who he is….

They literally canceled him for that!

Kimmel lied and hid network isn't having it. The entire world is sick of the nonstop, violent left.

Freedom does not guarantee no consequences; your speech is protected from the government...not private sector consequences.

 

[Teflon Don]

You mean you care about leftist freedom. You cheered at all of the lawfare thrown at Trump with bogus charges.

Spare me your faux leftist crocodile tears

You are now reaping what you have sowed for years

What is funny is that you don’t realize what a bigot you are. Going through life thinking you are better than others is part of your problem. It blinds you to reality.

I love being a redneck. You think it is an insult, but you will never understand.

People pry money to pretend to be rednecks. Nobody spends money to be a narcissistic prick like you

 

[Nordberg]

Kimmel's remarks were pretty harmless. The company was looking for an opportunity to cancel him. They already took out one, Cpolbert. Now two. Watch out, Fallon and Meyers. Late night was the outlier. The rulers controlled newspapers and radio. Now our plutocrats will have far more control of the media.

This they equate with yelling fire in a crowded theater.

  And that's
Pretty much what he did... He does that a lot... I'm sure they warned him but he didn't stop... There was no need to be that purposefully insensitive...

So it must seem to you. But it was only sacrilegious.

A right-winger is now in charge of the FCC though, and he threatened ABC and their parent company...

This is trump and MAGA shutting down all opposition to them.

Nothing less than a Stalinist takeover of America and the idiots are all cheering for it.

Oh those pesky details...

They’ve always been into politics.

Yes, they have. The Smothers Brothers were censored back in the late 60s/early 70s for their anti-war and anti-Nixon jokes.

 

[ThatOwlWoman]

I've never watched late night TV. Just not my thing. But I looked this up, so if you're a connoisseur of it I'd appreciate your feedback.

My understanding is people like Carson and Leno was more about broad jokes and funny one liners. They made fun of whoever was in office but it was more about the humor than any partisanship.

Jon Stewart wasn't late night comedy but he changed things and influenced those who followed him.

That led into Kimmel, Colbert, Meyers et al. who spend much more time on politics and are more openly liberal in that regard.

So politics wasn't absent in the past, it just wasn't as partisan or central to the shows.

You might find this interesting. A lot of the variety/comedy shows in the late 60s featured barbed quips aimed at the govt. and the war.

Apparently i'm not the only one who thought it to be so...
