The Frankish Reich Posted September 18 Posted September 18 11 minutes ago, Royale with Cheese said: I wouldn't say he cheered but he intentionally lied to the public....which is a violation of the integrity part of the FCC. I mean it can't be argued. He called the kid MAGA to push a narrative. That is a violation of integrity. Well, as I said he implied the kid was a MAGA type, but he didn't say it. What he did say was there was a furious attempt by MAGA folks to get ahead of anything that might implicate him as a MAGA supporter. Whatever. This is an abuse of the FCC's powers, and note that they are now relying on an obsolete distinction between over-the-air broadcasters like ABC and "cable" broadcasters like Fox News. So Gutfeld can make fun of Paul Pelosi all he wants but Kimmel can't even gently chide Trump's cynical attempts to capitalize on an assassination. The FCC Chair called it "the sickest comments possible." Really? Watch it and tell me where he criticizes Charlie Kirk.

You know who agrees with me? ABC and their Legal team. If it was a clear cut violation of Freedom of Speech and FCC abusing their powers…lets see that easy lawsuit.

Please cite his exact words You wanna do something epically funny? I have half a mind to let you do something out of spite... It would involve going somewhere else to have some of your fun

And yet, the FCC cannot coerce ABC to fire him like they did. The FCC didn't coerce them. ABC was facing liability. They made the decision to either fight it or get rid of Kimmel. They chose to get rid of Kimmel. It was ABC's decision, not the government. The government threatened a consequence for Kimmel's actions. ABC either wanted to fight it or not, they chose not to. They don't make a decision at this level without consulting Legal. Actions speak louder than words and what actions did ABC take? 1

The problem is the FCC is not-so-subtly threatening to use its unrelated authority to approve mergers in order to gain leverage. That's how the CBS/Paramount settlement happened - after it was done, Larry Ellison's son completed his takeover. Same here with the Tegna proposed merger. And here I thought MAGA was about constraining the power of an unaccountable bureaucracy ...

Yes, they’re in a bad spot right now. It’s irrelevant to the MAGA government stomping on free speech. Rolling Stone is a very good source for media. I’d imagine Kimmel sues pretty soon. 1

If a Rolling Stone says it, it is without a doubt they're right? It's objective? Well I mean ABC had a direct chance to fight for Kimmel. Do you think they have Attorney's or not? And they didn't. Why didn't ABC fight it?

Reminiscent of when you claimed Project Liberal was an economic think tank. You have no idea what you are talking about unless you are trying to redefine “very good source for media”.

I suppose they don't report facts in your bubble. So you believe that an illegal can skip the process to get into this country but deserve due process to get out of the country? To give due process to millions and millions of illegals, that will clutter up the courts. Let me ask you this straight up. Lets say you're living next door to an illegal immigrant that is going to trial for a violent crime like rape or armed burglary or is a child predator. He can't go to trial for a few years because there's millions of other cases clogging up the court systems. Would you want to live next door to this man? Would you support this man and his due process?

The FCC Commissioner, the White House and the MAGA universe is cheering and bragging they coerced ABC. They bragged they coerced CBS/Paramount to drop Colbert. MAGA has created a mafia state. Nice station you have there, would be a shame if anything happened to it.

Many Americans and legal folks have spent extended periods of time sitting in detention without seeing a judge. That is the ICE system and all of MAGA is cheering it on. MAGA doesn't believe in due process and if a folks get lost in the system, then oh well, at least we are getting rid of “those” people. 1 minute ago, Royale with Cheese said: Like what?
