Zone1 Is Jimmy Kimmel a victim of a free speech crackdown ?

[Blisterfinger]

Do you even have to ask?

Where are the 1st amendment constitutional Republicans on this? The only right winger who will condemn this is Papageorgio but then of course he will point to one thing Biden did and say Dems are no better or different.

As if what's going on right now is not insane.

I love it every time I tell my MAGA friend something fucked up Trump did, he says something like "good I'm glad because I never liked Kimmel, or Howard Stern......" He doesn't realize that doesn't matter. If you are for freedom, then you want people you don't like to be free too. Did Kimmel cross a line? Nope. He made fun of Trump's reaction to a reporter when he was asked if he's broken up about Charlie. Trump sure didn't seem too broken up. Is that a crime to point these things out?

I don't know where all the late shows get these tapes of politicians saying the craziest shit but if it weren't for these shows, none of us would see these things. And that's exactly what Republicans want. This is why they hate the media.

The only thing we can do is vote next year and I doubt these next elections will be honest.

You don't have a MAGA friend.

 

[Blisterfinger]

Trump followers?

With Trump in the White House?

What we are seeing right now with Kimmel atAl is a darwinistic purge. The stupid are being drained from our society in favor of MAGA which is a more sensical approach to our problems.

tommy puts another humor thread in the wrong forum.

He saw a "small clip" LOL.

In this instance the private company is under pressure from the government. Thats where the problem is. Colbert was another one.

No, ABC just decided they don't want to pay people for stupidity and vile Behavior.

 

[USAF 2023]

There was that girl in minnesota. But you are trying to frame the debate. Wht are you bothering ? Kimmel can say what he likes. That is free speech. Now you have government approved speech.

In your world he has the right to lie and say something that is obviously not true ? So the Network had every right to fire him.

They were threatened they would lose their license. Fascism.

He’s a Master Bullshit Artist.

It's all about the dollar. Jimmy Kimmel's stupidity was no longer making them money. His idiotic comments and lies about Charlie Kirk were his last straw. Free market economy. Canceled.

Its about trump threatening his employers. Nothing else.

Kimmel's rights to speak freely is well and intact. Sinclair and Nextstar exercised their right not to listen.

His employers decided to stop losing tens of millions of dollars per year subsidizing Kimmel's hate fest with Trump, "MAGA" and Charlie Kirk. Buh Bye Jimmy!

 

[The piss off patriot]

I find it disgusting that you guys are so outraged about a failed comedian who turned their platform into a political platform? I am sorry but where were you all a few years ago? Non of you were there because it didn’t affect you. You didn’t give a damn about Carlson and some of you cheered for his firing!

 

[EvilCat Breath]

That's not true.

Sinclair and Nextstar had complaints from affiliates so they went to Disney. Kimmel just didn't have the numbers.

That’s right.. Keep Changing the subject and justify what Kimmel did If a Liberal were shot and the Republicans said it was another Liberal and Joked about it don’t think so would be so “ understand “
Since YOU believe in “ free speech “ maybe YOU can tell us why Roseanne Barr got fired from her own sitcom

What does this have to do with the COTUS?

You don't have a MAGA friend.

You can take out "MAGA" and it would still be true.
