ABC suspended Kimmel. Not Trump

[marvin martian]

Here is a fact you probably won't believe

more than 97% of Covid-19 patients hospitalized were/are unvaccinated

Even if that were true (it isn't), it doesn't excuse the lies you told, lies that killed a million Americans.

 

[Darkwind]

All I know is your boys lie constantly and you never call it out.

Like JD saying most of the violence comes from the left. We know 55% comes from the right. 22% from the left. 22% from Islam

And we know Trump can't lower drug prices 1000%. But he said it.

Trump is constantly caught lying no one even says anything anymore. We've become numb to it.

And you call the truth lies, CONSTANTLY.

Now what was a lie?

This is what I mean by the left's deceit.

You count Trump making a stated goal that he would want this to happen, and then you ******* clowns call ilt a lie when it fails to materialize.

A lie would be, I'm going to stop this war and then make absolutely no effort to end the war.

Failing to meet a goal is NOT A ******* LIE.

Here is a fact you probably won't believe

more than 97% of Covid-19 patients hospitalized were/are unvaccinated

If the vaccines worked, why were the other 3% hospitalized?

Exactly. Telling people they won't get covid if they're "vaccinated" is a lie. And that lie killed a million Americans.

These are understandably harsh times for the Left. After all:

1. First Trump found massive waste and fraud within the Fed that was being clandestinely used to launder millions and billions in taxpayer dollars into fraudulent programs around the world via USAID back to finance the far left, their many secretive organizations and agendas.
2. Now all their main mouthpieces for promoting and maintaining their leftwing support base via PBS, NBC and ABC are all being shut down due to gross conflict of interest with the public good. No more skewed "educational" programming steering leftwing ideology via taxpayer funding and no more late night laugh camps spreading hate and lies about all things Trump.

Add to that the massive fallout of support for the left, another transgender murder spree, this time killing a minister simply trying to have calm dialog about social issues, and the constant infantile behavior of democrats within Congress, demoturds not having a leg to stand on in the midterms plus the sudden explosion now in Turning Point USA, and it is easily understandable why the Left are shitting themselves.

There are probably more than a few people who post here that are dumb enough to believe this.

Every Progressive on every TV program over the last decade and longer have not even begun to get their karma. Kimmel and Colbert have just started. And they still have not realized it. They are murderers.

 

[WEATHER53]

it doesn't work that way. If you make a claim, it is not someone's responsibility to prove it wrong it is your responsibility to prove it true.

No it’s accepted as a fact statement unless proven otherwise. This is not the land of prove yourself innocent

Libs are stunned that their pet media finally had enough of covering for and providing aid to liberal insanity
They still don’t get that Kirk is a new dawn
FCC does not allow Motrin ads that claim to cure cancer. They don’t allow the airwaves to spread violence inducing lies and belittlement of murder
Responsibility snd Repercussions are the two “R” words that libs avoid like a plague. FCC chair merely suggested but it was ABC who took the action

It sounds as if Trump wants to suppress free speech when it is critical of him - or maybe he wants to resurrect the Fairness Doctrine, but control content? Does the nation need a state-censoring Pravda?

The convicted felon/business fraud/sexual abuser whines:

“They’re 97 percent against; they give me only bad press. I mean, they’re getting a license,” he continued. “I would think maybe their license should be taken away.”

The proper role of a free press in America is to be critical of government. Trump has filed lawsuits against outlets whose coverage he dislikes, threatened to revoke TV broadcast licenses and sought to bend news organizations and social media companies to his will.

 

[M14 Shooter]

ABC suddenly developed a moral compass...

ABC saw a threat to its bottom line.

 

[struth]

Spread lies? Isn't that what Biden was trying to get Facebook to do? To take down fake news?

I think you got this twisted son. You guys love the 1st amendment when it defends your right to lie. But you are quick to take someones 1st amendment rights away when you don't like what they are saying about you. You've never complained about us lying. Unless you consider Russia Collusion a lie. It was not. Or that Trump started an insurrection. Again, not a lie. Or he lied to the FBI and didn't turn in all his classified documents. He did that.

No, that’s not what xiden was trying to get Facebook to do. Xiden got Facebook and Twitter to take down real stories about his son’s laptop

wrong it is never the responsibility of a person to disprove a statement in a debate it is the responsibility of the obe making the claim to prove his statement is true.

It’s not speech that is criticizing
it’s speech that blames the wrong party for a murderous incident which in turn further fans the flames
Good call by ABC

 

[schmidlap]

Has there ever been an authoritarian who has not wanted to control free speech and suppress criticism?

 

[WEATHER53]

wrong it is never the responsibility of a person to disprove a statement in a debate it is the responsibility of the obe making the claim to prove his statement is true.

Nope. I present the fact or opinion as I see it and the other party can do same via refuting. The “prove it” is children speak which is why you prefer it.

Who is the "wrong party" being blamed in your mind? Who has been wrongfully accused, and by whom?

Should not all divisive, accusatory, incendiary language be discouraged?

You are supposed to include the entire quote otherwise it’s cherry picking misrepresentation. Just like Kimmel

It’s not just in my mind. It’s on the record

 

[schmidlap]

It’s not just in my mind. It’s on the record

What does your record say? Please cite it.

In the wake of Kirk's murder, Kimmel took to social media to offer condolences to Kirk's family.​

​

"Instead of the angry finger-pointing, can we just for one day agree that it is horrible and monstrous to shoot another human?" he wrote at the time. "On behalf of my family, we send love to the Kirks and to all the children, parents and innocents who fall victim to senseless gun violence."​

​

I share the sentiment.

We have seen this suppression of free speech in totalitarian regimes:

Trump said overwhelming negative coverage of him by television networks should be grounds for the Federal Communications Commission to revoke broadcast licenses.​

We know that is a lie.

Calls grow to boycott ABC owner Disney over Jimmy Kimmel suspension​

What Jimmy said: “Many in Maga land are working very hard to capitalize on the murder of Charlie Kirk.”

Carr, who was appointed by Donald Trump earlier this year, said Kimmel’s comments were “truly sick” and that ABC had violated its “public interest” broadcast obligations.

Overnight, calls to boycott ABC and Disney emerged, “Jimmy Kimmel wasn’t suspended because of what he said. He was suspended because the FCC threatened his employer. That’s state-sanctioned censorship and it is a giant red flag … Authoritarianism isn’t coming, it’s already here. Today it’s Jimmy. Tomorrow it’s the rest of us.

“Nexstar Media Group and Sinclair Broadcast Group own the largest number of local ABC affiliates. These two companies are currently seeking approval from the FCC for business deals. In other words these media giants have every incentive to bend the knee to authoritarian pressure coming from the FCC and the administration to get their deals across the finish line. We’re done watching this unfold in silence … It’s time we speak in the only language they seem to respect – their money.”

“The government is using absurd accusations of hate speech to silence comedians who offend the wannabe king.

“Now more than ever, all Americans need to stand up in protest against censorship and for the First Amendment. As such, 50501 is calling on all Americans to boycott Nexstar, Sinclair, and ABC-Disney.”


Boycott calls have also emerged on numerous Reddit threads as well as on X via the hashtag #BoycottDisney.

“Heard from a friend at Disney+ that there are multiple levels of freakout internally, both from internal dissatisfaction, concerns about subscription cancelations, and of course the big one: concern about a boycott spilling over into parks and cruises.”

In July, Trump celebrated Paramount’s decision to cancel The Late Show With Stephen Colbert – the US’s highest rated late-night show – after Colbert also mocked Trump. Writing on TruthSocial, Trump said: “I hear Jimmy Kimmel is next. Has even less talent than Colbert!”

“This marks a dark new level of capitulation and censorship of speech more redolent of autocracies than democracies.”

Boycott away. Let the Execs at ABC know that they are not permitted to make financial decisions that favor ABC over some childish political lies.

Kimmel was canned based on a financial choice made by ABC.
