Thread 516696299

Jimmy Kimmel was fired due to pressure from the FCC - a government organization. So yes, it is government censorship.

it's decisive then

>>516696299 (OP)
I don’t care.

President Trump is the law.

I want him as our god king.

Fuck libtards

>>516696299 (OP)
Wow, I really don't care....

>>516696299 (OP)
when you apply for a license to transmit over the airwaves you have to agree to not swear and not tell lies about crimes.
he lied about a crime and they threatened to pull the license.
abc decided to fire him, not the government.

>>516696739
What was the lie he told? Not a paraphrase, what was the word-for-word quote he said that was dishonest?

>>516696973
"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"

While the writers have tried to be clever in the way they word it, 47 U.S.C. §307, the code FCC uses to guide compliance specifically states that the interpretation is to be based on the interpretation of "a reasonable or laypersons interpretation" so the sleight of hand trickery in the wording doesnt matter

>>516696299 (OP)
Good. Now he can go eat cock meat sandwiches all day instead of not making funny jokes.

>>516696299 (OP)
>Kimmel's firing was because major affiliate Nexstar needs the FCC to sign off on its $6.2 billion acquisition of Tegna.

Nexstar itself acted outraged and demanded him removed, not the FCC.

>>516697635
Clearly an opinion on an entertainment program
You can cope about that all you want you triggered snowflake
Invent whatever straw man you want about me but you lost the normal man acting like this
It's just you loud internet faggots that care about this, the same problem that blinded the Democrats in 2024

>>516696299 (OP)
He was mocking the president of the USA which is EXTREMELY divisive in the country (and also mocks the US on the world stage).

I dont care

>>516696299 (OP)
good his comedy fucking sucks, and i don't like his smooshed in ugly face it looks like he smashes his face into the assholes of executives.

>>516698829
John Steward (or whatever he is called) made an even more mocking show of the US president just now. This should not be tolerated. Not because of Trump, but because it mocks the USA on the world stage.

>>516696299 (OP)
Never heard of him

>>516698703
Seethe, cope and butthurt duly noted. Inability to refute my point also noted

Spurging emotionally is an interesting strategy anon but Im not convinced its going to be a successful one for anything other than reinforcing your self delusion

>>516699218
It being an entertainment program and an opinion is all that needs to be said
I accept your concession and your right to be wrong on the internet
Getting triggered by opinions is tranny coded

>>516696299 (OP)
Who fucking cares? Not you, and not the left. No one was watching his shitty show.

>Jimmy Kimmel was fired due to pressure from the FCC - a government organization. So yes, it is government censorship.
I call bullshit, his contract expired and they tossed him out, Bill Maher pointed out in his Fridays episode that Jimmy got dropped exactly 24 years after Jimmy got Maher's old show slot

>"Real Time" host Bill Maher expressed empathy for fellow late-night host Jimmy Kimmel as a former ABC star who also landed himself in hot water by making questionable remarks in the wake of a tragedy.
>"It was 24 years to the day that I made comments on ABC that got me canceled from that network, and Jimmy Kimmel took my slot," Maher said during his opening monologue, adding "Oh yes, I got canceled before cancel even had a culture."

>>516696299 (OP)
>So yes, it is government censorship.
Now explain the Democrat usage of government censorship against social media and independent media.

OK. In the FCC's opinion canceling Kimmel was the best option.

>>516696299 (OP)
Why when it’s one school shooting, it’s horrible and should be punished, but if it’s another school shooting, there is nothing wrong with talking distastefully about it? I want you to exonerate Alex Jones and give him 1.5 billion dollars. Then we can talk.

>>516696299 (OP)
They are setting the stage for what is considered truth and what is lie without evidence.

It was more than it should have been.

>Im going to continue making posts that demonstrate I have zero understanding of the issue except seethe, cope and butthurt

It has nothing to do with the program type and everything to do with the broadcast method you downs syndrome child. It wouldnt matter if it was on cable but its broadcast on a section of the radio spectrum dedicated for public service broadcasting. Hence why its regulated by 47 U.S.C. §307 / §309

Please feel free to make more downs syndrome level comments showing that you have zero grasp of what the actual problem was

What were his views on free speech?
Did he care when it happened to people he disagreed with?

>>516696682
when the pendulum swings back faggots like you will be crushed

>>516699882
Exactly what the constitution is designed to stop from happening
Thanks for distilling that one down foreskin biter
Cheering for the FCC, next it's the ATF and then it's the IDF. You can't see nose shaped slippery slope

>>516699921
No they aren't, dumb pajeet.
Anyone who thinks this changes anything is retarded. This is a nothingburger. The FCC commissioner mildly suggested there might be some compliance violations while ABC affiliates like Nextsar yanked the program on behalf of their own audiences. ABC asked Kimmel to apologize and dial down the rhetoric and Kimmel said fuck you I'm going full throttle next time so ABC responded with: you're suspended.

>>516696299 (OP)
You must be really upset that actors can't just say nigger on FCC networks

>>516698703
The firing happened so fast I don’t think there was ever an actual blow back audience wise about this. Honestly don’t you think this was for the best for Kimmel? What legacy was he going to leave as a television entity? He was a constant runner up in the late night viewership and wasn’t ever really breaking new ground there

>>516700160
When Tucker got fired for talking about voting irregularities Jimmy got all excited and did an entire segment gloating about it.

Fuck the hypocrite

>>516696299 (OP)
...for lying which is against broadcast licensing agreement regulations. The Trump administration could have and probably should have just revoked ABCs license and been done with it. Instead they offered to let it slide if Kimmel apologized and corrected himself, which he refused to do, so ABC suspended him.

>>516700427
I wonder how much money the show was bleeding for this to happen THAT fast? Has Kimmel even commented on it publicly yet?

>>516696299 (OP)
smart people will use the setup used by the beltway sniper niggers and shoot "prominent" blue soft targets like Kimmel in the skull or chest like pic related. this also works well on leftist gatherings like protests or marches out in the open.

>>516696299 (OP)
>it is government censorship
OK, so was the Obama DOJ laundering fake intel on Clinton's behalf and getting the FBI to pressure social media companies to ban a laundry list of the most influential conservatives including Trump himself.

In fact that's even more egregious, because those platforms are private and Kimmel's show is using publicly-owned bandwidth. So Kimmel's trouble is an example of selective enforcement, what Obama and Biden did was outright censorship of private companies.

Also Kimmel was lying to encourage more people to murder conservatives. That was his intent. There's no other reason to lie about who the shooter is.

>>516696299 (OP)
one less jew to push tikkun olam polices and calls for terrorist attacks

>>516700428
It's just unprecedented
People in this thread who were in diapers don't remember the Bush era
Late night was ruthless and made fun of him constantly, the news leaked info about him dodging the draft and doing cocaine.
No one ever got the FCC involved

>>516696299 (OP)
Ummm its a private platform sweetie
Freedom of speech does not mean freedom from consequences

As long as no new Laws or Mandates are passed. . . sht can ALLLLL media. All media is propaganda. Used to rejuvenate the left when they get btfo over something else. MOAR !!! MOARRRRR!!!!

>>516700166
they already tired that, turns out when you make the military and LE full of inept trannys and faggots and women it craters recruitment and makes it hard to enforce your leftist faggot police state

>>516700684
I guess I missed it, when did Leno or Letterman lie about a public assassination?

>>516696299 (OP)
if the FCC plan failed the pressure would just have come from other places until the network gave up, yes it's overreach but we need to accumulate wins while they're available and clear up the red tape at the same time

>>516700574
In that case
>I believe in free speech for those who believe in free speech

>>516696299 (OP)
He was fired because local affiliate stations refused to air the show anymore, because Kimmel blatantly violated FCC rules.

>>516701071
The Obama era right wing pundits constantly threw shit at him, jokes about his birth certificate giving him shit for bombing kids
He never called the FCC on them
Nothing he said was a statement of fact on a news program, it's a stand up routine by a comedian that triggered you. There is no other way to mental gymnastics your way out of that.
Go write to Sinclair that you are triggered and if he gets fired I don't care but the FCC pointing a cannon at an American business is Stalin shit even Bush, Obama or Biden would have done

>>516696299 (OP)
I thought he was due for cancellation months and months ago for poor ratings.

>>516700684
Those were all direct truths that were readily available to every person willing to look into the presidents record. He told a half lie about a major assassination of a public figure on the other side of the isle. While I won’t ENTIRELY discount the political backdrop, it seems astonishingly convenient to give a major democrat shill “street cred” by firing him publicly just before we start another election cycle. At the end of the day I see this as more a financial move by Disney in taking a depreciating asset off of their books than I do some massive attempt at censorship

>>516701420
*Would have not done
pardon my error

>>516696299 (OP)
We don't care. Do you think we're in 2010s? Bro we hate you.

>>516701420
I guess you don't understand the issue.
Joking is not lying.

Again - when did Leno or Letterman lie about a public assassination?

>>516701420
>He never called the FCC on them
They never justified or excused political violence. There's FCC laws about that.

>>516696299 (OP)
I don't give a fuck who pressured him. He's a piece of shit who LIED on national television about Kirk's killer being MAGA. Fuck Jimmy Kimmel.

The FCC offered Disney an exemption on monopoly rules in exchange for firing Kimmel, so no, it wasn't censorship, it was bribery

>>516696299 (OP)
Nope. The government didn't fire him, his boss did so it was just regular old business.

>>516701913
Why would the FCC care about Jimmy Kimmel?

>>516700166
>swings back
judging by the current pendulum speed, there are another 25 years of rightwing activity in front of us.
the rightwards swing hasn't even started. we're at barely 5%

>>516696299 (OP)
I'm pretty sure we had government censorship before. Like you can't go on TV promoting killing people.

Which shouldn't fucking exist. Except for like making sure everybody's on separate frequencies. The State shouldn't have any fucking control of what's on TV
>>516696682
I had no idea who this asshole was until the spam about him getting shot started. And I still have no idea, nobody has said anything about who the fuck this "person" was

FCC loicensing is in harmony with the sixth plank to the communist manifesto.

>>516701891
No one has been sentenced yet and all the facts are not out especially with the retarded DEI hire in charge of the investigation
You can't say you know the truth of the event yet so it is all opinion
Keep trying to cope that it's a news program or any reasonable person would say so other then king nigger got triggered by funnyman only old people watch
Which explains why he noticed at all

>>516696299 (OP)
Government censorship is good if I agree with it
I'm not even being ironic

>>516696299 (OP)
Yea let's just ignore the fact that his show was losing $10-20 million per season. Do you think he would still be cancelled if the show were profitable? Who the hell even watches late-night political jesters anymore?

>>516698829
>He was mocking the president of the USA
As every American should at every opportunity. This is America not some fucking monarchist shithole

the left are crying about a millionaire kike losing his show that they never even watched unless they were 60 year old boomers

Sentenced for what? Jimmy isn't arrested. None of his rights have been taken away. The only thing you're arguing for is a multimillionaire to keep getting his million dollar paychecks

>>516702085
Same thing all scumbag bureaucrats, fuck with people for fun and profit

Abc fired him. Kimmel is free to say those things but abc didn't want it on their license

>>516702667
I accept your concession
Nothing makes this event special except it hurting your feelings
People made endless jokes about OJ or Kyle or Zimmerman being guilty while the fucking trial was on fully intending to contaminate jurys and the FCC never got involved
All were exonerated in the long term

>>516702986
You failed to mention what Leno or Letterman lied about.
You failed to clarify what the FCC laws are
Now you're failing to even follow the conversation and don't even understand what you're arguing for anymore other than a multimillionaire is entitled to his job (he's not)

I accept your concession.

You're the one deflecting. You haven't answered a single question. You're pathetic as fuck who just bootlickers for multimillionaires who think you are trash.

2 out of 5 is inconclusive

Elephant Graveyard was right. Clowns Joe Rogan and Trump have been absolutely devastating for comedy.

>>516703707
And your bootlicking for the FCC having a power it should not have
I honestly do not care about him or watched a single second of his programming, I don't want some cucked ass state run media nor want to hand anyone those keys.

If he did nothing wrong what's to be scared of?

>>516704020
>making sure the FCC doesn't let multimillionaires be above the law means bootlicking
Its crazy how the party of equality have no actual idea what the word means.

the fcc is the portion of the government that restricts freedom of speech over the air.
if you don't like it, that's okay, you're wrong for exactly the reasons i've eluded to in my questions above.

The FCC has always limited what networks can say and leftards never said shit.

Jimmy was fired because he made it obvious kikes killed him by calling Charlie points

>>516705272

You are dumb as fuck my guy.

It’s only on public access channels that anyone with an antenna can access for free. If you pay for cable you can say whatever that fuck you want. If Kimmel was on HBO this literally would not have happened.

Because a government appointed unelected body arbitrarily singled them out for extra enforcement likely on direct executive orders

What a bunch of retards in here. He worked for a corporation his ratings sucked ass you get fired like Colbert. End of story fucktards

>>516706149
Because he lied about a public assassination.

>>516706098
How is that in any way similar to this
Isn't the argument he said a lie, not obscenities?

Those measures were the largest silencing operations in human history. Just because it happens to a celebrity doesn't change the fact the people were silenced en masse. Anyone fighting for Kimmel without calling the previous censorship out is being disingenuous.

Dumdum,

Kimmel lied to the public on public airwaves and made stupid statements that put the corporation and it's franchise at risk, you mouth breathing dolt.

They have been looking for a reason to get rid of this failure for a while too. His ratings are ridiculously low, his demographics are not what businesses want and he's been bleeding viewers for years, year over year at a minimum of 20% loss. For fucks sake, B grade channels on youtube are getting more views than this dumbshit. It's funny cause you're coping so hard that you cannot even see the forest thru the trees. You're a failure and it's over.

>>516706392

>>516706287
How is it different? Obscenities are free speech. As soon as you start parsing out different categories then you're passed the point of the first amendment. The biggest test of the first amendment is whether something is content based if it's invoked. No "NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER?" then no lying about the shooter being a Trump supporter. Simple as.

>>516702234
Controlling what gets broadcast at what frequencies/amplitude is required for our society to function anon.
If "As the World Turns" is stomping all over the frequency for air traffic control, we are going to have a problem.

>>516707189
The guy is obviously retarded if he can't understand something so simple.

>>516706757
The FCC literally tells the networks that people can't say "NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER" or show bare assholes on the 2 PM timeslot. They're the government, numbnuts.

>>516700160
Reminder every single Democrat politician owns a copy of the book "rules for radicals" which contains the rule "there are no bad tactics, only bad targets" insisting that everything conceivable is justifiable when done to right wingers.

They have literally spent 50 years asking for it.

>>516698703
Apparently ABC doesn't agree with you and thinks that his case is too flimsy to defend. Cry about it.

>>516707132
Government censorship based off hurt feelings yes I agree
There is a whole nother rabbit hole to go down if you want to talk about the different between broadcast and the internet and how they will eventually use that to purge any decent
>>516707189
Calls to violence are not obscenities how retarded are you and what he said was not a call to violence, crying fire in a crowded room or anything tying up any emergency service
Plus the ability of the FCC to rule obscenity is unconstitutional already because of right wing babies crying now they want more

>>516698703
Kimmel himself has campaigned to get people fired for spreading misinformation.

Things have escalated since then.

>I believe in free speech for those who believe in free speech
Exactly. This meme of being pro-policy or anti-policy without reference to real concrete groups of people is just retarded and is one of the most unbearable aspects of modern culture. If someone states a policy preference without also specifying which groups are being given power to implement the policy and which groups the policy applies to then I can't take them seriously. Thinking in terms of disembodied policies in a vacuum always leads to your values dying at the hands of those who don't reciprocate.

The king who refuses food from everyone will die to starvation.
The king who accepts food from anyone will die to assassins.
The king who accepts food from his trusted chef and rejects food from assassins lives.

Being "pro food" or "anti food" are both dumb, and the same applies to policies. Saying something like "I support X!" is the same as saying "I'm pro food". Are these policies being provided by the chef or the assassin?

>>516707610
Obscenities are covered by the first amendment, moron. Otherwise the FBI could arrest every single one of us on here. The FCC has a separate regulation that bans spreading hoaxes that can lead to unrest that has nothing to do with obscenity. The first amendment isn't invoked because the government is allowing the companies to use those airwaves. The government can't limit you speech typically but they can limit the speech they endorse on their airwaves.

>>516707610
There are no hurt feelings. If Jonny hadn't lied about a public assassination he wouldn't have lost his job. It's just that simple.

>>516707744
All you know is state media so fuck off
We do things a little differently here but I hope you paid your TV license

>>516707610
In other words Jimmy Kimmel can go on HBO or the internet or the streets and say whatever the fuck he wants. He can't do it on a public broadcast channel like ABC.

>>516707882
Nigger you didn't say shit about the FCC for decades. You only care cause some libtard got shitcanned. The FCC has limited speech on public networks forever and you haven't said jack shit.

You don't know me nigger
Strawman all you want if you got no argument
No one ever used the FCC like this and required me to say anything about it
Except for the Janet Jackson nipple slip when people had hurt feelings about seeing a boob but you were in diapers for that

>>516708296
You're the one strawmanning saying a lie is somehow an opinion.

You are dumb as fuck

>>516707560
What?

>>516708296
They've used the FCC for decades for decades to limit speech, faggot.
>but they didn't limit it THIS way
Wholly irrelevant how about Obungo pressuring Bob Iger to fire Roseanne?

>>516708296
Why do you think stopping speech from happening in the first place is worse than punishing after the fact? In fact prior restraints are considered even worse by the Founding Fathers themselves.

>>516708296
>No one ever used the FCC like
Okay I understand what's going on. You are clueless as fuck and only pay attention when it has something to do with Trump.

>Joe Biden directed the FCC to enforce rules against digital discrimination in broadband access. This stemmed from the 2021 Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, where the Biden administration instructed the FCC to broaden its inquiry under Section 60506 to prevent discrimination based on income, race, ethnicity, color, religion, or national origin.

>The FCC also enforced penalties for AI-generated robocalls using Biden’s voice, fining perpetrators $6 million for violations

The reason you are acting like this is because of your sheer ignorance of the topic.

kimmel is part of the system. he did their bidding when his "side" was in power. he only got fired because a new faction took over that didn't like him.

>>516708497
I would say nothing if Trump personally tweeted at these faggots just like Obama did and they followed through, that is a business decision.
That is a citizen with opinions even as the executive, still a bit of a grey area but ok.
Days went by and it took a threat from the FCC to make the firing happen, not the same and unprecedented by either party

>>516708638
Wrote that backwards
Stopping speech from happening in the first place IS worse than shitcanning someone after the fact and even the Founding Fathers thought so. There was debate over whether the 1A only covered prior restraints.

>>516696299 (OP)
Can you prove that the FCC bullied ABC into firing him?

>>516702986
My enemies are child killing rapists who want me and everyone like me dead and have demonstrated this across a vast Gulf of history, thus ANYTHING done to harm them is just and no one is under any compulsion ethical or practical to maintain consistent treatment of them, or even to deal with them honestly.

They are the enemy. Enemies and friends have different rules of interaction.

>>516708661
He got fired because he’s an idiot who couldn’t help lying for political points.

>>516708737
The reality is that you don't know anything. Only if Trump is involved is when you pay attention.

You are peak retard.

>>516708661
New faction hasn't taken over, the same old faction is just frantically throwing its own on the sacrificial altar hoping that quells the bloodlust of their suddenly less torporous enemies.

>>516708737
How do you know what happened behind the scenes there could well have been a threat. Roseanne said it was a phone call NOT a tweet A. B. Obungo using his time as a government employee to censor mean words is definitely just as bad.
C. The FCC has been censoring for decades and you said nothing.

>>516708660
How is using the FCC to make companies offer affordable Internet and stopping scam calls over the regulated communication phone network anything related to getting mad at what a comedian said on an entertainment show that happens to be antenna broadcast?
Did you ask AI to find something related and post it without thinking?

>>516709001
Theyre both content based restrictions. Just because you like one and not the other doesn't mean shit.

>>516709001
It doesn't matter. Biden used the FCC to target people he didn't like, but because it didn't involve Trump you never cared

>>516709001
You have never studied law in your life. You are going 100% based on your feefees.

Did you post a hill article without fully reading it?
They were enforcing neutrality there in a situation where they had clear authority that was targeting Democrats with Joe Biden still in office
He didn't auto pen command the FCC head to stop the investigation

>>516709846
Ah so it’s only ok when democrats do it. Got it.

>>516709989
The head of the FCC at the time was still trump appointed while Biden was in office and enforcing clearly defined election time public broadcasting rules of equality
Another sign you didn't read the article

>>516710141
So what’s the issue, then?

>>516710141
You are a leftard and you always will be. How many copes you gonna throw in there? The FCC is a censorship organization. I don't give a fuck that it was a specific call for a firing. That's an issue of separation of powers not free speech.

Reality: Late-night shows are dead. They are no longer worth producing, even at the low-end. Advertisers require eyeballs and they're just not getting them. In order to get out of contracts with these 'stars', they need to terminate them with cause, which constitutes a breach on the part of the host. When possible, contracts are simply not renewed, as with the case of Colbert. They're all done. There isn't a single one left that can justify what it costs to keep them on the air.

>>516710515

You're the lolcow in the thread everyone is dunking on. Your entire argument is that a lie is somehow an opinion. You are just mad a multimillionaire isn't getting his paychecks anymore

He was fired due to pressure from two broadcasting corporations, private companies. The left just can't stop losing. All they can do is lie and hope people are stupid enough to still trust them.

>>516696299 (OP)
He's still free to say what he wants. But go be a faggot somewhere else.

>>516696973

>>516696299 (OP)
suck a dick leftist faggot. he was fired because the affiliates used their free speech to express their dismay at what a retarded liar this little queer is. of course it was also to curry favor with the FCC for their upcoming giga-merger. good, shutting down the left is what we voted for.

you are arguing for the ability of propagandists to lie to the american people. you give no shits about anything other than winning. you kvetching about freeze peach is a joke. everyone remembers your your war against speech. your words mean nothing.

>>516711245
Sadly, I agree.

>>516711019
Technically the FCC can't fire them for saying "I hate niggers" directly they will sanction the network for the statement and then the network would fire him due to public outcry and to avoid further penalty
Which we have determined this isn't obscenity so that wouldn't be possible in this case
So they had to threaten their business in an unprecedented way

"I hate niggers" is not merely obscene. It is a political statement and its political importance outweighs its potentially offensive wrapper.

>>516712802
No, obscenity is not covered by the First Amendment's protections for free speech. Instead, obscenity is considered a narrow category of unprotected speech that can be regulated by the government and carries legal consequences. The Supreme Court uses a three-part test, known as the Miller test, to define obscenity

People were banned for free speech. Fucking Kimmel is not the hill to die on. If they will not acknoweledge the abuse of power suffered, then they will get no quarter because this is seen as vengeance.
The difference now becomes solely wealth. The people that suffered have a class action against the Biden admins based on zuckerbergs testimony alone, but Kimmel has the wealth to protect his speech.

Good, oh and fuck you cunt

>>516712802
Yes you are right in general
This is about broadcasted speech
They have actual authority over terrestrial TV and they want it over the Internet to be able to do the same to us even if it is unconstitutional by direct interpretation in both cases
>>516712989
You could say I hate black people and it wouldn't even get bleeped your network could even keep airing you with intense public outrage if they chose not to fire you

>>516713006

Cool. Be grateful he just got fired.

Acting like getting fired is a big deal just shows you are hypocrites. I thought you fags liked canceling people for having wrong opinions?

>>516713001
Obscenity is said to be sexual in nature. Kek I love how you are arguing the limits of free speech whilst also acting like some kind of free speech absolutist.
prong one of miller test:
>Appeals to the prurient interest: The average person, applying contemporary community standards, must find that the work, taken as a whole, appeals to a shameful or unhealthy interest in sex.
so "I hate niggers" has already failed the test and is not obscenity
meanwhile all nigger porn means the test and by your claim should be banned

>>516706149

Kimmel did not celebrate the death. He even had post on socmed outlining as evil.

>>516713631
Nigger, you claimed "I hate niggers" was obscenity. It's not. You're a retarded bitch who couldn't even read into what the Miller Test is.

Kimmel is a lying sack of shit

Broadcasting false information
The FCC can ban or penalize stations for intentionally broadcasting false information that could cause substantial public harm.
Hoaxes: Intentionally broadcasting false information about a crime or catastrophe is prohibited if the broadcaster knows the information is false and it could foreseeably cause public harm.
News distortion: The FCC may investigate a station for intentionally distorting the news, but requires documented evidence of intent from individuals with direct, personal knowledge.

>>516713602
4chan isn't sexual in nature?

I hate niggers is not obscenity so why are you okay with the FCC banning it? How about all the shit they fined Howard Stern for in the 90s before he was an open faggot Kike?

>>516696299 (OP)
1. Doubt it as he was off the air from multiple companies that run a lot of ABC affiliates (Sinclair and nexstar).

2. Even if it happened he literally broke regulation of broadcast television. And not like biden who tried to classify non-ota signals as being part of federal regulation. So it is within the privy of the fcc to enforce the regulation.

3. Kimmel lost money just like colbert, probably less because he had a larger social media presence but still lost money.

4. Fuck librard faggots

>>516713760
I didn't claim anything. go back to the threads. You're retarded to boot

One way or another the other late night shows will be cancelled soon, because TV is a dying medium and the ratings continue to fall.

Not disagreeing with you anon, just correcting your spelling. I was against this when people were losing jobs etc for jokes they'd made 10 years ago about faggots on twitter or whatever, and I'm against it now.
But this is the world the leftists like kimmel helped build, and seeing their own rules and tactics being used against them does make me giggle a bit, seeing as I was arguing about this a decade ago, it's always nice to be proved correct.

You are a retard.

Fcc doesn't have any power to regulated cable TV. So who are the pundits that were starting direct falsehoods as being truth on broadcast TV. The easiest way would be to just quote someone else. Like saying Donald Trump is making waves as he claims, "dem nominee Obama is not eligible as he isn't a naturalized American, as he was born in kenya." That would be a newscaster given the public the news they aren't making a claim just converting a story and telling their viewers someone else's claim or opinion.
