Trump threatens to pull licenses of networks who are “against him.”

[Missourian]

Kimmel’s comment had nothing to do with whether the shooter was MAGA, but was mocking Trump’s response at a press conference. You guys have blown it all out of proportion because you hate Kimmel.

Again, you are completely ignorant of the facts. He called the assassin "one of them", an adherent to MAGA, which is a bald faced lie...

President Donald Trump on Thursday suggested that the federal government might revoke the licenses of broadcast television networks that are “against” him.

Trump’s comment came a day after ABC suspended airing the “Jimmy KimmelLive!” show because of comments its host made linking the alleged killer of conservative activist Charlie Kirk to Trump’s MAGA movement.


Federal Communications Commission Chairman Brendan Carr earlier on Wednesday had hinted that the broadcast license of ABC — which is a subsidiary of Disney — was at risk if it did not “take action on Kimmel.”

Kimmel's lies are both a hoax and broadcast news distortion.

View attachment 1163744

According to your own information, these are violations.

Kimmel wasn't making jokes.

It was straight up propaganda, misleading the public, over broadcast airwaves regulated by the FCC.

Kimmel can say whatever lies he wants on cable, but broadcast television is licensed and regulated.

THOSE ARE THE FACTS.

And as usual the reprehensible right attempts to defend the indefensible.

The first amendment says the government will not pass any law abridging the freedom of speech or the press.

You have no first amendment rights to force ABC, USA Today or MAD magazine to give you a job.

You are more full of shit than a Christmas goose. Your flagrant ignorance and stupidity has already been explained once. Here it is again.

Accordingly, Congress through Section 326 of the Communications Act, 47 U.S.C. § 326, explicitly declared that nothing in the statute​

​

shall be understood or construed to give the Commission the power of censorship over the [broadcast] communications or signals transmitted by any [broadcast] station, and no regulation or condition shall be promulgated or fixed by the Commission which shall interfere with the right of free speech by means of [over-the-air] broadcast communication.​

​

Pursuant to these legal mandates, the FCC has long held that "the public interest is best served by permitting free expression of views." Rather than suppress speech, communications law and policy seeks to encourage responsive "counter-speech" from others. Following this principle ensures that the most diverse and opposing opinions will be expressed, even though some views or expressions may be highly offensive.​

​

Nevertheless, what power the FCC has to regulate content varies by electronic platform. Over-the-air broadcasts by local TV and radio stations are subject to certain speech restraints, but speech transmitted by cable or satellite TV systems generally is not. The FCC does not regulate online content.​

​

The FCC does impose certain restraints and obligations on broadcasters. Speech regulations are confined to specific topics, which usually have been identified by Congress through legislation or adopted by the FCC through full notice-and-comment rulemaking or adjudicatory proceedings. These topics include:​

​

indecency,​

obscenity,​

sponsorship identification,​

conduct of on-air contests,​

hoaxes,​

commercial content in children's TV programming,​

broadcast news distortion,​

accessibility to emergency information on television, and​

inappropriate use of Emergency Alert System warning tones for entertainment or other non-emergency purposes.​

You know how we know you're full of shit?

ABC pulled Jimmy Kimmel.

They know it's a hoax.

They know Kimmel lied.

They know Kimmel lied knowing full well he was lying.

What threat did the FCC Chairman make?

That Kimmel and ABC would be investigated for deceiving the public? He ******* WAS intentionally deceiving the public.

Jimmy Kimmel LITERALLY intentionally distorted the news.

Intentionally distorting the news IS ABSOLUTELY an area that even your own link define as an area of acceptable regulation by the FCC.

The other things we all know is the real reason liberals are pissed is that LYING and intentionally misleading the public IS ALL THEY'VE GOT!

And here you are. Not upset that ABC and Kimmel are deceiving the public... because you knew he was lying and pushing a false narrative... just as you do every day on this website.

You are pissed he was called on his lies publicly.

Give it a rest, M. Kimmel is not a newscaster he is a comedian. All comedians distort the news for effect to make a comic point. If you are going to start banning comedians for making political jokes or taking videos out of context than say bye-bye to the USA as we know it.

Here is a picture of North Korean standup duo. Hilarious. Never make fun of the leader.

True MAGA comedy!

[Old Rocks]

Licensed in the public interest networks have no business whatsoever being "against" the duly elected President of the United States or any other political figure, nor "against" any perceived opponents of the president or any other political figure.

The public interest is to use those extremely valuable rights to specific parts of the airwaves to provide programing worth watching for its entertainment value, and news that aims to inform, not convince.

Bullshit.

Any privately owned newspaper, news site, news cable channel, or any other news outlet that has not agreed to operate in the public interest is welcome to "dissent" all they please, even if their idea of "dissent" consists of following the DNC line to the letter.


Did you make that yourself?

Well now another good little fascist. No dissent from our Fuhrer can be tolerated.

 

[Old Rocks]

Kimmel lied.

It is a known lie.

Everyone who pays attention KNOWS he lied through his teeth.

Even Gemini knows, and Google restrains it with guardrails that restrict it from upsetting anyone.

Man, if you are going to take people off of the airwaves for lying, maybe you had better start with the biggest liar in the United States, maybe even the world, Trump. Did Kimmel at that time know that? Prove it. Robinson's whole family are MAGAts, so it was natural to at first assume he was also.

Exclusive | ABC insiders rip network over ‘stupid’ Jimmy Kimmel monologue that led to suspension: ‘Should have known better’

“ABC is stupid,” said one ABC source. “They should have edited Kimmel. They know Trump is after him. Their standards department should have flagged it. They should have known better.”

But the MAGAts do not like the United States as we know it. They want a nation where they can daily kiss someone's ass. They want a nation where they can spit on anyone that is a little different from them. They want a nation where people can commit crimes in the name of the leader and be pardoned by that leader. 6Jan21

So people like Kirk can lie continually, but a comedian cannot make political comedy. You MAGAts are really getting deep into fascism.

Did Trump threaten to pull their licenses? I dont think ive seen him say that.

 

[Missourian]

Kimmel has had every opportunity to apologize and correct his mistake.

That would be the normal course of action and would absolve ABC of responsibility.


He has flatly refused to do so.

Because that admission would defeat the purpose of the original lie and totally destroy the left "he was MAGA" gaslighting narrative.

Unfortunately for Kimmel and rest of the lying left, that false and deceptive narrative is already destroyed... ironically in direct response to Kimmel's deceitful actions.
