Axing Jimmy Kimmel Is Government Suppression of Political Speech!

[Mac-7]

Rationalization 101.

You are saying Trump's corrupt abuse of power is a-ok, so long as it serves your partisan interests.

Trump has not abused his power - yet

But as the country spirals toward civil war all bets are off

I think he makes very many great points. What he is saying that Trump is now doing can be easily said for what Obama and especially Biden were doing. I actually think that the two parties are locked in a fight to the death for full control of the US government. The democraps almost won, and the people got extremely scared about what Biden (or his handlers/puppeteers) was doing and preferred Trump. So the question today for all Americans is "Which evil authoritarian party do you support more?" It seems like the people like Trump's evil plan for America better. So, if you leftists want Trump to go away, find someone better whose "evil plan" appeals to Americans more. It's that simple. But with how corrupt the system is, you are never going to get one of the two corrupt parties to value freedom over social control. Therefore, chose your favorite authoritarian party. Or move away.

Both party's stink, And we let them.

Essentially only right wingers have rights, only right wingers's view are legitimate. Apparently.

Such a change from the days when social media outlets coordinated with government officials on which voices to suppress and which to promote, such a change.

Wow, what a lie.

I don’t know what’s worse. Seeing you defend authoritarianism or seeing you admit that you’re defending authoritarianism.

Hopefully the answer will come to you in time

We need to go back to when the major networks were only slightly to the left of center instead of blatantly partisan as they are now

This isnt just Trump being trump

Several hundred million US citizens agree with him about the media

 

[NetJedi]

He gone.... for good....

IMHO only if he finds a legal way out of his contract with ABC for "Jimmy Kimmel Live!", so far it doesn't appear that either ABC or Disney are interested in terminating it, why would they? they still have to pay him out and would have to pay for a permanent replacement until the end of the 2025-2026 season.

Not to mention ABC has already stated they won't be cancelling Kimmel's upcoming hosting run of "Who wants to be a millionaire?".

I do suspect they'll permanently cancel "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" after 2025-2026 season though, same way CBS did to that other late night moron Stephen Colbert. Maybe both networks will wise up and get some actual comedians to put in this format instead of hyper-partisan left-wing activists.

Using FCC to force oppositional voices off air is of course abuse of power.

Our president has no business directing government to go after his political opposition.

Once again Trump is setting a brazen politization precedent that is deeply corrosive to our democracy, a precedent that you will regret as soon as not-your-guy gets into power.

 

[Rawley]

Trump’s administration threatened government punishment because stations aired his show.

That’s authoritarian.

LOL dude made a comment on a podcast.

Hopefully in time you'll can to think for yourself without believing every bit of propaganda you consume without question.

Wow, what a lie.

Argue with PBS.

Zuckerberg says the White House pressured Facebook to 'censor' some COVID-19 content during the pandemic

The precedent of government coordinating with or intimidating media to ensure certain outcomes was set long ago.

Using FCC to force liberal hosts off air is of course abuse of power.

So can using your broadcast license to mislead the public

Local broadcast companies who buy ABC's shows has had enough of kimmel... ABC has no choice but to cut him loose... and ABC is in the money making business and his show had less audience than Married with children reruns... he is gone and won't be back...

Obviously, those who obtain and utilize those licenses are not completely free in what they can say, and have not been.

I'm sure you are going to love what a Democrat administration will find to be "misleading the public".

You really ought to stop making excuses for corruption of our governing and GET SOME PRICIPLES to stand by.

 

[Unkotare]

Oh good, another one of those posters that hasn't got a clue what's going on.

See you later, my tolerance for such shit is very ******* low.

No one cares about your "tolerance."

We have already seen that. Zuckerberg told us.

 

[Dorian Mode]

Both party's stink, And we let them.

Both parties are now engaged in a fight to the death for complete control of the government, but they will still work together to make sure no other parties arise to significant power while they fight it out. American politics sucks. I want 5 other parties who span the gamut on dinner table issues. I hate having to support the party whose "evil plan" somehow works best for me. Or just sucks less than the other parties "evil plan."

 

[Mac-7]

I'm sure you are going to love what a Democrat administration will find to be "misleading the public".

My advice to you is GO GET SOME PRICIPLES.

Your point is why I have extreme misgivings about using thst blunt instrument now

Like the man said, what goes around comes around
