Remember when Roseanne Barr was cancelled for a Tweet

Nordberg said:
I did not follow her implosions. I saw her as weird and not worth attention. I do not enjoy watching people self destruct. Kimmel was removed for political reasons and the power to control speech. I value free speech. Trump's people are killing it. What they are doing is not about Kimmel. It is much bigger. Trump ,of course, is pretty clueless about how this came to be. Whoever are running the show in the dark are carrying out a plan to control speech and much more. I hope we survive this.

Kemmil's show was costing more than it generated, in TV that will get you canceled every time.

She had a very successful show. Hollywood disliked her because she openly supported Trump. When she said some very light skinned black women was like a gorilla they branded her as a racist and fired her. She insisted that she was unaware the woman was black. I tend to believe her.

It had something to do with Barr not being a woman who keeps her mouth shut and does as she is told.

If I remember correctly it was a racist tweet. She might not have meant it but it was too late.

Oh so that can get you fired but what Kimmel said can’t?

You don’t think a racist tweet is freedom of speech?

I get it now freedom of speech only applies to things YOU Marxists like or approve of. Thanks for admitting. I humbly accept your concession.

I saw her perform live at a comedy club in Seattle before she got her TV show. She was funny! She inspired all the other comics to come back out and to an encore. Too bad she went to the dark side.

One Tweet and her show was stopped. She was fired. Not one leftist here came to her defense.

Did someone in the government demand it? Did someone with power over her employer threaten government action against them?

Are you too stupid to see the difference?

The FCC has been mandated to control the airwaves since 1934.

It is their responsibility to do so and they did when the loon, Kimmel, lied about the politics of the animal who shot Kirk.

Kimmel’s lie was not in the public interest and he was reminded of this.

The FCC did their job.

1 day ago — Jimmy Kimmel's 'unprecedented' rejection by broadcasters a 'turning point' in media, FCC chair Brendan Carr: 'There's more work to go.’
 
Carr argued that networks with broadcast licenses — like ABC, NBC and CBS — have a special obligation to serve the public interest, and Kimmel failed to do so.

“It was appearing to directly mislead the American public about a significant fact that probably one of the most significant political events we’ve had in a long time, for the most significant political assassination we’ve seen in a long time,” he said of Kimmel’s off-color remarks.

Trump misleads the public about a significant fact almost every time he opens his mouth. He's a proven fact checker's dream. His online record in this regard is at the top of the list.

Still, it should be obvious to anyone with a grain of intelligence that misstating "a significant fact" cannot be a standard for policing the airwaves, which it never has been. It's an invitation for political policing. You can be sure, for example, it would never be used as a corrective against the Trump Administration.

You do not understand their mandate, they are not allowed to threaten licenses due to criticism of political figures.

Anyway, the FCC does not supersede the U.S. Constitution.

The hypocrisy is amazing, from those who hated cancel culture.

Huh? That isn't what your OP is about.

Nice try.

You have yet to provide proof of your claims. Given your recent history of peddling photoshopped pictures as fact you can understand that the bar is now higher for claims you make.
