The right cancels Kimmel

If they are making decisions, based on a threat from the government over free speech, it does have to do with government power.

But you know that.
*sigh*

This same company that spent the last 10 years blasting Trump suddenly has no will when it comes to Kirk, that's what you are saying.... I think their choice to cancel was their choice.
 
I don't think they would have had to. I continue to believe that there was a billion other choices they could have made short of cancelling Kimmel, that they went to full burn it down mode was because they believe that they would make more money without him.
Because they were threatened by the federal government.

It doesn’t really matter why they made the decision, what matters is that the federal government threatened them.
 
After the company was threatened by the federal government.
Not much of a threat... Again, that "threat" left choices to the company, the company chose to salt the ground. There was nothing in that "threat" demanding he be taken off the air.

FCC: Do something.
ABC: Burns the building, salts the ground.
FCC: Dayum... okay, well thanks.

I think they have no will, now that Trump has enough power to act out on his threats.

It really doesn’t matter if they have the will or not, the government is prohibited from even making the threat by the first amendment.

You know that.
 
Were they sued before for spreading falsehoods? Really am asking here. There is a reason they believed that they would lose money if they continued to let him on the air.

What he did: Kimmel gaslit his audience with the standard, 'that kid that shot Kirk was a right winger', then made jokes about the folks grieving. I think the lie about him being right wing was the clincher if ABC has been sued in the past for letting their people lie on the air and has had to pay, they do not want to do it again. Mild threats from the FCC could be met with other responses, like having Kimmel come out and reverse his BS gaslighting, but they chose to go all in and take the man off the air.

FCC: Hey! Do something!
ABC: (Goes straight to cancel.) There.
FCC: thanks....

Out of all the choices they could have made, from the range of him coming out to apologize for his lie to him doubling down on his gaslighting BS they chose to cancel his show.

Hey idiot....

It’s the FCC telling them to do something that is the violation of Constitution of the United States of America.

The federal government is now controlling the message from ABC.

Rubbish, they had the will when he had the power before. It's like you can't remember yesterday...

Utter and total nonsense.

What I know. The company made the choice to cancel the show, not the FCC. No matter how many times you pretend that the FCC canceled it, they simply did not. They don't have the power to do that.
 
This kind of idiocy is why folks are tired of leftist gaslighting, Jarod.

This kid had opinions contrary to his family, was living with a trans woman lover, and killed him because he hated Charlie Kirk. But idiots like this moron decide that because his family were Mormons and conservative, he can continue to gaslight himself into believing that someone who loved him some Charlie killed him.

It's utter nonsense. It's a flat lie.

You act as if you ignored that they had options, that me pointing out that ABC chose to cancel over a massive range of responses, one of which could have been telling the FCC to shove it.

I will ask you where were you when cancels were coming down the pipe because folks talked about the "covid jab" in other than reverent tones? You know, back in the day when the message from the left was "First Amendment has consequences"...
You are whataboutism is not going to work.

As long as the company agrees to cave, you are OK with the federal government bullying private enterprise over free speech.

I see.
 
“You heard”! I have proved the FCC threatened them before the decision
A perfect example of how you morons are gaslit (proper use of the word) by the media. Some smart click-bait warrior that exploits idiots like all of you, posts a podcast interview with the 'proof' it was the threat from the FCC that caused your little cheerleader to get the boot. You all make the little click-bait warrior a little richer by dutifully eating up his bread trail of bullshit.

The FCC, Trump, countless others have been saying the same since 2017. This was by no means the first time they correctly informed the audience of the reality about FCC policies and rightly says they are looking into ways to prevent or stop the purposeful, intentional, boldfaced lies with political implications and potentially inciting violence, etc. NOTHING NEW AT ALL. ABC, CBS, He/She/Them/It are fully aware of the FCC's position and have been for years.

I laid out reality, you know, the numbers that drive the price the networks can charge and the fact that many TV stations informed the network that they would no longer air his show. ABC already knows about the FCC, but losing more money on a show that has only declined in the last decade was the only move that allows shareholders to hold on the dream that leadership is not completely insane.

Your post is useless, wishful thinking. It's a serious problem when you radicalized drones get all amped up. One of you will snap and go from being radicalized murderers in waiting to no longer waiting.
 
Rubbish.

What it sounds like is a company making a decision from a range that included telling the FCC to "bite me"....

You should be disappointed in Disney (they own ABC). They chose to burn that house over simply apologizing or even fighting.

Why you think an apology is due is a mystery. Yes, I'm disappointed that ABC/Disney did not stand up to fascist tyranny and tell the FCC to go fuck themselves. The MAGATs think they won something here. No one won; we all lost because they let the govt. illegally threaten them and deprive a comedy show host of his freedom of speech. As a self-proclaimed libertarian, I'm also appalled that you are defending this.

Somebody call a 🚑 Waaaaaahhhmbulance!!!!

Poor little Damokinz is having a full diaper meltdown!!!

The stupid, lying, jughead, shitbag fucking right wants us to believe that a few months of living with a gender confused guy who thinks he's a she erased over TWENTY YEARS of right-wing conservative indoctrination and brainwashing.

Yeah, right
Dumbocluck. :palm:
 
It is hilarious seeing these leftists who call for banning “hate speech” suddenly cry crocodile tears over Kimmel and Colbert

Free speech doesn’t mean free from any consequences

Let me know when Kimmel gets arrested for his words. I might care then
