The FCC may be going after Jimmy Kimmel for his claiming Charlie Kirk's killer was MAGA.

[BlindBoo]

Yelling fire in a crowded theater does not constitute free speech.

Especially when you know in advance there's no fire.

Making fun of MAGANUTS and Benedict Donald is no longer Free Speech in America.

 

[Rawley]

How much is it going to cost them to fight it?

LOL Fight what? The FCC dude's comments on a podcast? Zero

How how much will it cost to keep this asshole Kimmel on the air - tens of millions.

 

[Rawley]

The FCC would have an impossible hill to climb in order to pull the license of ABC, so it's an idle threat to squash the first amendment, however, could they choose not to approve a merger involving Nextstar, worth billions? Certainly, and that's how they'll use their leverage and power to silence voices they don't like.going to

LOL So matter the facts, it's going to be fascism in your world

 

[struth]

Doesn't change the rabid lie the FCC chair used to denigrate Mr. Kimmel, or the lie that Mr. Kimmel said the assassin was A MAGANUT.

Everyone knows the FCC's bogus charge wouldn't pass Constitutional muster. But the point is to harass not convict isn't it?

What lie did the FCC chair use to denigrate Kimmel?

“We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang trying to characterize this kid who killed Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it,” Kimmel said during his show’s Monday monologue.

Yep, he clearly tghe assassin, was part of the "MAGA gang" - whatever that is.

SO why do you lie?

So you agreed that Kimmel Fucked around and had the option to find out by calling the Fccs bluff.

Thank you.

Nope he criticized and made fun of MAGA's efforts to distance themselves from the assassin. "the MAGA gang trying to characterize this kid who killed Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them. Then, his real sin was to speak truth to power in how they were already trying to use Mr. Kirks assassination to their political advantage.

This was called "It appears to be some of the sickest conduct possible" by the FCC chair.

Got that? Kimmel's so called sickest conduct possible was calling the MAGANUTS out for their sick exploitation of the tragic assassination.

Thank yiu.

Kimmel did what he always did. His sin was not just to criticize Benedict Donald, but mostly it was he questioned the MAGANUTS motive in using the assassination to their political advantage.

Kimmel's non existent broadcast licenses was not being publicly threatened was it?

The key to a good joke is to include enough truth to make it plausible and thus a little less offensive as a lie.

I literally quoted him. He lied. He lied about what was known about the shooter in a clear attempt to distort the news.

You continue to lie. Dembots are just liars.

It is pretty damn sick, and Carr is entitled to have that opinion, why would anyone just get on TV and boardcast known lies like that an attempt to distort the news, just days after the man was shot in the next in front of thousands of students and his own family....anyone that doesn't think that behavior is sick, well, you are part of the problem.

It's funny that these tards think "free speech" means that anyone can LIE on national TV in the form of a "joke" and nobody else has enough free speech rights to give them any blowback about it.

 

[ThisIsMe]

The FCC had not a damned thing to do with it! The media companies Nexstar and Sinclair were going to preempt the show, so Disney would gain nothing. Why are you so obstinate about clear facts?

What does preempt mean?

take action in order to prevent (an anticipated event) from happening; forestall.

it was the implied threat was the reason. Do you think kimmel would have been fired if Carr had not made that comment?

Probably because this is the very definition of fascism, something the right pretends to care about and is against, but secretly longs for.

Trump does it every day. I would argue that someone who lies every day as the president of this country is just a tad more important and impactful on society than a late night comedy host.

 

[Concerned American]

They were publicly threatened.

The threat was a frontal assault on the First Amendment.

Never in the history has the FCC ever commented publicly on any individual.

It is censorship by intimidation.

Educate yourself. This quote is from the FCC website. Try again
The FCC is barred by law from trying to prevent the broadcast of any point of view.

Even with our current climate of fake news, misinformation, disinformation, and election lies, we shouldn’t use government power to try enforcing the truth.

U.S. Supreme Court Finds a Constitutional Right to Lie | MacDonald Illig

The U.S. Supreme Court recently issued a significant First Amendment freedom of speech case in United States v. Xavier Alvarez (decided June 28, 2012), which has received little attention in the mainstream media. The decision, by a divided Court, is contrary to a long line of prior Supreme...

Nah, you use the public airwaves to spew lies you lose your FCC permission slip.

Trump isn’t employed by ABC, and subject to thr FCC….no president is, hence why Obama and xiden weren’t ever fined for their lies

They had no ******* idea he even said that. It was on a damned podcast and the companies had no idea until after the fact. Do you think they were listening to the podcast? No! They were told because Kimmel ran his mouth! That is why he was shitcanned.

Who decides what a lie is?

When Biden was in office, questioning the election became verboten. You telling me you support that now?

 

[krichton]

IMHO, this POS needs to be removed from television completely. Maybe he and his cohort Colbert can move to Venezuela. They might be welcome there.

The Donald is trying to make the US more like Venezuela, every day. That would mean, they wouldn't need to move there.
