Wow. The utter cluelessness of that statement is astounding. Can you even think for yourself, or are you just another bot who gets programmed by his TV every day?

We have piles of video evidence of the Left using inflammatory rhetoric, but we seem to only have evidence of everyone else just saying the truth.

Oh, but that's right. Ignorant like you don't even know the meanings of the labels you want to slap on people to shut them up (which doesn't work anymore, BTW). And you seem to think that telling the truth is "hate speech".

Trump ordered the FCC to intimidate ABC, ABC
probably wanted to get rid of their late night show anyways, and saw a patsy.

I know this will break your precious Narrative, but that didn't happen.

But we all know how you ignorant Leftists like to make stuff up to further your false Narrative.

The facts are:
1. Kimmel broke FCC rules.
2. The ratings for Kimmel's show is tanking and has been for some time now.
3. The LOCAL AFFILIATES dropped Kimmel's show because of what he said.

Disney, who's finances are hurting because of THEIR Wokeness, probably wanted to difuse this mess as quickly as possible.

And they already announced the Kimmel's show is coming back. The most of the local affiliates won't broadcast it. How low can a show's ratings go before the parent company kills it?

Except, this time, Disney wasn't counting on a mass exodus of
subscribers and Jimmy Kimmel has 3 more years on his contract. Rumor
has it he's already talking to attorneys.

Guessing: since Kimmel broke FCC rules, Disney probably has some good legal ground break the contract.

"We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it."

Which was proven false long before his show aired. Of course, for mindless bots programmed by your TV, like you, you'd never know this.

He pushed propaganda and blatently lied, breaking FCC rules.

As I just typed in a previous post (won't quote it here), I support his
RIGHT to say what he wants. I didn't watch him anyway. :-)

whats IRONIC is he opened up saying we are misinformed when we absolutely
are not. and then he does a whatabout argument about trump.

i don't give a fuck about trump. i do give a fuck about people in the media that are affecting our culture and causing political assassinations and other acts of domestic terrorism. i've had enough of trans liberals killing kids and going on rampages.

Apparently you certainly don't care about accuracy, as you stopped your
quoting right before where he called Trump a d!ck, which was the
potentially offensive bit I called him out for. If I google "Kimmel
dictator dick," the first article that comes up is from the Guardian.

Their quote, unlike yours, includes that part.

He also insinuated that the kid might be MAGA -- that MAGA needed to desparately distance themselves from -- which turned out not to be the
case. Claiming that didn't really make sense.

Trump looked like a fool, Kimmel called it out, and his administration
is continuing to push a dangerous narrative that "liberal violence and
hate" is the enemy.

All violence and hate is an enemy. I have no issues with someone pointing
out that this includes leftist violence as, guess what, that exists but a
lot of people like to ignore it. In this particular case, a kid hated Kirk because of his right-wing views and acted on it. In this case, and a few
other recent ones, leftist violence and hate had everything to do with it.

We *do* need to get away from the necessity to label stuff "right" or
"left" as a lot of what is developing defies political definition. IMHO, it would be better defined as apolitical -- and sociopathic.

Trump ordered the FCC to intimidate ABC, ABC
probably wanted to get rid of their late night show anyways, and saw a
patsy.

I agree they are probably looking to get rid of their late night show. Now they still have their patsy when the time comes.

broadcasters nexstar and sinclair say they are pulling the show from their affiliate stations. they own 70/250 abc stations

i heard the kimmel show being referred as a donation to the left movement and i think that's a good description. it's not a money maker.

i don't know where you get your information, but the fcc DOES regulate

what kimmel was doing is essentially inciting misinformation about an assassination that was politically motivated. in today's age, that means more violence.

why would they? they are in it for the money and the kimmel show doesnt make money. it's a shill for the left.

again, you are wrong.

in the end the dumpster fire that is the kimmel show will go out with a whimper. i dont give a shit but i do like that smirking sexist piece of shit get whats coming to him at the same time.

You need to get some education. The FCC does, in fact, regulate content and always has.

No, but it is the reason the show got yanked. The local affiliates can't get anyone to advertise in that slot because of the low ratings.

But you are showing your programming by thinking that the FCC yanked Kimmel's show.

3. The LOCAL AFFILIATES dropped Kimmel's show because of

That doesn't look like that's happening. His low ratings got even lower. They can run a bad 1950's movie in that slot and get better ratings now.

business, not yours.

And we have another low information poster here.

Kimmel is not answerable to the FCC.

And your programming is showing yet again.

Perhaps you can go back to a good school and be taught how to think for yourself.

to me it looks like kimmel is a loss, so i'm not sure why they let him continue on. i dont care though. i was a kimmel viewer since day one
but i had to stop watching that show when it became a one man 'the
view'.

he's dishing out stuff that most people want so i'm not sure how he can continue on making shows.

It could be because someone ran the numbers and looked at the contract and decided that it would be cheaper to have him continue, but have very few local affiliates to broadcast the show.

But this is also Woke Disney and the Woke will never accept their failures and always double down on them.

I looked up that Guardian quote you mention. You might have missed that
Kimmel referred to Trump as a dick happened on a different show, during
Trump's England visit, not the show where he made fun of Trump's
response to Kirk's killing.

If you're offended by Kimmel, you get to be. You can choose not to
watch him. The problem is when people get offended and choose to use
the government to silence them.

I suppose the republicans are woke and supporting cancel culture now
that it fits their goals.

Kimmel is not answerable to the FCC.

Kimmel is not directly answerable, but the network and the affiliates that carry the content are.

From the FCC website:

"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."

From past news stories, I do know that the FCC does levy fines against broadcasters for at least the first two topics listed.
