Kimmel's back!

[debbiedowner]

Leftwing media keeps saying “some” stations won’t be carrying Kimmel’s hateful show. Well, it’s more like 40%. A lot more than “some”.

Sinclair and Nexstar are not going to carry the show. Doesn't leave much does it?

 

[whitehall]

Not all the way. Apparently there are networks that prefer to spend money and time on a real comedian rather than an unfunny A-hole.

 

[BackAgain]

The government does not have the power to apply pressure to a company in order to silence someone.

First off, your “argument” is both beside the actual point and also factually incorrect. It’s beside the point because there is no use of government power here to “silence” anyone. Boris anyone asking for that power.

It is factually false because you are not permitted by the government to disseminate classified information or intel (such as troop movements in time of war).

You have the power of censorship right there in your hand. It's called the remote control.

When I choose not to tune into ABC, for example, you schmuck, that’s not “censorship.” It’s just an instance of my freedom to reject the crap spewed by certain people. You get no say in that either, no matter how much you whine.

 

[Delldude]

You mean the local affiliates they control are being ordered not to air the show. The locals don't have a choice.

Suddenly freedom of speech and choice are out the window?

 

[Bell Huey]

Nexstar and Sinclair. That is about 70 affiliates between them. And there is no word what Tegna will do. They are the company Nexstar is trying to merge with.

 

[DigitalDrifter]

And now Nexstar announces they'll join Sinclair, and won't be airing Kimmel's show.

 

[BlindBoo]

Suddenly? No, local affiliate speech and choice in news coverage including specific language used, has been dictated by the controlling mega corporations for some time.

 

[Hollie]

No....this is nothing like that.

What Trump did with Kimmel is unprecedented. **** that Nazi. And I'm glad that a corporation is finally showing some backbone and standing up to Trump.

Your pompous blathering is unprecedented.

Have a nice meltdown.

Not me, I could give a shit....The point was made.

If the affiliates don't carry the show it won't matter.

And the affiliates are taking a stand.

Only if they agree. Looks like Sinclair doesn't agree with you.

 

[Concerned American]

All this talk of government censorship after corporate leaders make a business decision about a ratings disaster but for over five years democrats and Google have been censoring the political speech of conservatives and all we've heard is crickets. LOL,
I wonder why the msm hasn't carried this tidbit.

Google to reinstate banned YouTube accounts censored for political speech

Kewl, more revisionism in real time. None of this would have happened the way it did if Trumps unqualified FCC Chair had not injected his mob like threats in public. The mega-media conglomerates could have probable gotten away with black mailing the network to get the go ahead for the mergers. All the FCC has to do is change the rules to allow such a monopoly to exist in the American media landscape. Two conservative billionaire controlling content and messaging at 80% of local affiliates? What could go wrong?

You mean the local affiliates they control are being ordered not to air the show. The locals don't have a choice.

/—-/ Prove it.

 

[Dr. Phosphorous]

What do you mean false equivalency? Smith investigated and found solid evidence that a good deal of Trumps inner circle had committed crimes in their attempted coup om Jan 6th. He filed court documents to do the talking for the administration. President Biden never publicly demanded Garland investigate anyone.

President Benedict Donald publicly demands prosecutions before any investigations, or any evidence is presented to a grand jury. Just like his obvious lies about the 2020 election where he could never produce the evidence in court to match his gas lighting rhetoric outside the courtroom.

Not even in the same ballpark.....LOL

Trumps is not really a Nazi Fascist. Not that I support him. He's just more like a Mussolini Fascist.

I agree with you. The imbecile Papageorgio does not.

He is convinced that the Democrats are as bad as Trump when it comes to attempts to limit free speech....a ridiculous notion.

Not so ridiculous, you pompous ass, when the facts are laid bare.

Disney caved to soothe the damages but bringing Kimmel back doesn't alleviate the damage already done. Sinclair is not carrying his show which means losing revenues.

Still no nextstar either -

Not sustainable.

Yeah

The right sucks at censorship and violence.

He didn't have many viewers to begin with.

Disney -is simply giving in to the terrorists to make the violence stop.

I think it's more of a legal matter. Cheaper to let him run out his contract than fight in court.

Resorting to name calling tells me all I need to know about your argument. Thanks for confirming it.

 

[Billiejeens]

Sinclair affiliates will preempt the Kimmel show, they own about 40 ABC stations across the nation. They also did not air any of the Kirk memorial either. It looks like this is a stand to stay out of it all.

Resorting to name calling tells me all I need to know about your argument. Thanks for confirming it.

They backed off of the Kirk memorial due to credible threats of violence.
