Kimmel's back!

[Papageorgio]

Of course, the social media bans are not the same as a President saying he will revoke media licenses.

But you would have to drop your both sidesism act to admit it.

I wont hold my breath.

The President didn’t say anything, the FCC chairman Carr was the one that made a statement that got Kimmel suspended. The Presidents administration did the same to social media in 2021, the president didn’t directly say it but his administration was wrong for doing it.

Both are wrong, both are bad, that you want to split hairs as if suppressing millions of free speech is less better than suppressing one person, be my guest, because any suppression of our rights is wrong.

Nothing said was racist.... just an outright lie.

Lies are protected by free speech against FCC pressure

Fox keeps trying.

Unfortunately, Trumpism isn't funny.

Trump has a great sense of humor, you're just too full of TDS to recognize it.

No, there isn't. And networks know it. That's the issue. The network was worried about losing liberal money, and didn't give a hoot about conservative money. If they could make money pushing conservative "humor", they would. They can't, and they know it.

The basic problem? Conservatives all suck hard at comedy. They always faceplant hard when they try it.

Why? Several reasons.

First, in order to be funny, satire has to be be based on reality. You can't just make up insane stuff, and that's all conservatives do now. Conservatives attempts at satire always come across as raging butthurt.

Second, punching down and bullying isn't funny, and it's all conservatives know how to do now. Punching up is funny, self-deprecating humor is funny, and liberals know how to do that. Conservatives now only laugh if someone gets hurt or humiliated, and decent humans don't find that to be funny.

There are no funny conservatives now. Someone like Jeff Foxworthy wouldn't be allowed on the air by conservatives now. Because he wouldn't be spitting unhinged hatred, he'd be cast out and cancelled.

The most popular late night talk show is conservative and on Fox

Kimmel can drop to his knees and suck off King Trump, and it won't matter. The self-inflicted damage to Trump and the MAGA cult cannot be undone. They outed themselves as fascists and that toothpaste cannot be put back in the tube.

In fact, a coerced apology just makes the damage worse.

Kimmel's fate is again consigned to the dictates of capitalism, rather than to a despot's fragile ego.

Trump is a hell of a lot funnier than Kimmel, and many time more relevant and powerful.

I am not an absolutist regarding any Amendment.

However, in this discussion, I confront present dangers rather than reminisce.

The past dangers lead to the present, we keep letting our government get away with more and more and all of a sudden our free speech will be gone, yours is a short sighted partisan game.

Unfortunately, Kimmel was not protected from being suspended by his boss. In America one is free to lie but not free of the consequences from other Americans.

Apparently the Left Wing terrorist who shot up an affiliate building got what he wanted.

Apparently he was a right winger who is upset about the Epstein files.

'The government' didn't censure Kimmel, ABC and the affiliates did that.

 

[Meathead]

She said that Obama‘s advisor was the child of the planet of the apes. That’s racist. racist people compare Black people to apes. You’re playing dumb about it. Gaslighting won’t work because I won’t answer if you keep just repeating the gaslight.

You need to change your avatar to Jasimine Crockett. Your name is harder but there are several names that come to my mind. PM me and I'll tell you.

He most definitely is protected, if it is done as a quid pro quo as part of an illegal agreement.

Not that this is the case. But we should be clear.

LoL.... thought you were talking about Kimmel.

Hillary called Donna Brazille buffalo face.

There was no direct call from the government to fire him.

Stop gaslighting.

It was no coincidence that Carr made his statement and two hours later Nexstar told ABC they were going to pull the show, right in the middle of a buyout that needed a FCC approval.

BU bu bu bu -but.

 

[wamose]

He wasn't getting fired because of that statement. He was getting fired because he sucks and nobody watches him. This is a situation where the company has a right to try to stop losing money more than it is a matter of free speech.

You forgot the part where ABC told him to apologize.....he didn't and was canned.

Supposedly he will address the issue....after a dinner of roasted Crow.

 

[excalibur]

Show me where the FCC told ABC to fire Roseanne “the easy way or the hard way”, and where Kimmel said something racist as Barr saying Obama’s adviser was the child of “Planet of the Apes”.
Is racism a “conservative position”. ? To be honest. It is. lol

The Øbama's pressured ABC to fire Roseanne.

And where were you then over free speech issues, hmm? Nowhere. Racism? Only the left pays that game, Mr. Faux Conservative that you are.

Damage? To what? The only loons that whined about Kimmel being held accountable for his hatred already hated Trump. This whole thing harmed liberals more. It further exposed their hateful nature and inability to act civil.
