Taking a stand against cancel culture.

ABC never said it was cancled permanently yet (that I have heard about anyway. And I didn't look up what everyone else makes. I'm sure it's not a fraction of what Kimmel makes. Google Ai did say that it is hard to Calcutta exactly what the show made before it spit out those numbers at me. I laugh at you guys, you hate Kimmel so bad it eats you up. I hate fox news and I don't turn it on in my house. End of story. I didn't start threads and celebrate the judgements against them. I laughed and that was about it. I didn't like Charlie Kirk so I never listened to him. It's very simple, you won't find one thing bad I said on here about him. You won't find much bad, If anything I said about any right wing commentator. I get that you guys don't like Kimmel. I have watched his show for years. I'm not into all the commenting on trump it's every night and the most of not all of his opening monolog. It gets old and you know I can't stand trump. But wise up, don't give up free speech because you hate someone. How in the hell did you get to be a school teacher? Book smart but no common sense! I’d say for many of us, the concern about Jimmy Kimmel getting temporarily furloughed at work for saying stupid things is pretty far down the list of things to be worried about. That said, I agree the FCC’s position is unreasonable, but happens sometimes. Kimmel is free to say whatever he wants to say, and with few exceptions will be left alone for the duration of his life. If he wants to paint his face, he can have at it. 1 1

I have watched him more than you so you will not be able to have a more informed opinion. Kirk was anti-DEI. He was for merit based hiring. I don't understand why you are so against merit based hiring. If there is a DEI program, he knows not everyone was hired on merit based. In safety positions, in dangerous to lower the standard. He would not have felt uncomfortable with an airline that didn't have DEI policies because he knows that they went through the same hiring process. This is the BS that was falsely spread and why he was shot. How does this racist man have so many minority support? Let me guess, blacks who support Kirk are wrong? There are a lot of things about MLK that wasn't talked about in regular education and covered up. He did not say that about Black women. He was talking about Joy Reid, Sheila Jackson, Katangi Brown Jackson etc.... Kirk's point was if we were to say there were affirmative action hires, it would be called racist. But then they admitted they were DEI hires. He was criticizing their intelligence like political podcasters do ALL THE TIME. That's racist? How many times have people called Trump an idiot, stupid, moron etc...are those racist comments? I agree with Kirk, especially on Joy Reid, she is incredibly stupid. So is Rosie O'Donnell. So is Ellen. IMO. Am I racist against white people now? A columnist was fired from the Washington Post was fired after her article about it! Are you going to leave out that he First Responders Union immediately put in a No Confidence Vote for the Fire Chief? He the Rescue Units were ready to go and he didn't deploy them for 90 minutes. The Leader of the Union said they could have saved so many lives. It doesn't matter if he was 3 hours away, that's his responsibility. Plus, he was a DEI advocate. https://www.instagram.com/reel/Ctr68iUJ49x/?hl=en Kirk said the intent was noble, total agreement with that. That's not what is happening today. It is beyond what it's supposed to be. yes, you're racist. Kirk is also a misogynist. Do you agree on his medieval views on women? 2 hours ago, Royale with Cheese said: Lol Kimmel is going after ABC…not the FCC. ABC got rid of him. They will bring him back if he apologizes. That’s the current stipulation. so hy would an apology aid ABC in a financial manner. Aren't low viewership and reduced profits the reasons you claim for his firing? If so, why hire him back at all? The viewership angle is a scam to validate ignoring the 1st amendment. Edited September 20 by Joe Ferguson forever 1 2

SectionC3 Posted September 20 Posted September 20 9 hours ago, JDHillFan said: I have moved up from being schooled to getting destroyed by “the libs” over the simple concept of a lead-in program. As a parting gift I give you this: NBC frequently used the massive popularity of Friends to launch other sitcoms as a lead-in program, placing them directly after Friends in its lucrative "Must See TV" Thursday night lineup. By benefiting from the large audience already tuned in, these shows had a better chance of gaining and keeping viewers. Consider yourself educated. That’s hurtful! You’re still schooled. You wrongly assume a lead has to be contiguous. Night shows can lead to morning viewing, much as daytime views lead to evening views. 9 hours ago, Big Blitz said: He got fired because of a FCC threat, not because of an opinion. Even Ted Cruz acknowledges as much. Applying some a MAGA logic here, if Cruz lied in that public statement, and if an over the air Fox affiliate broadcast that statement, then should not that Fox affiliate lose its license under the “rules” that some here rely upon but cannot identify?
leh-nerd skin-erd Posted September 20 Posted September 20 (edited) 1 hour ago, 4th&long said: Right. That's why the thread is so long, because no one is worried about it. Makes perfect sense. The thread is long because a relatively small group of people are interacting on an issue they find interesting. The numbers tell us 4 people have nearly 200 posts in this topic, presumably holding the same opinion throughout. If your posting history provides any insight, you’ve declared how blanking stupid some posters are a minimum of 10-15 times, mentioned Fox News 5 or 6, and added 4 flip.its that you found sorta tasty. While I was speaking more broadly about the outside world and conservatives generally, I get your concerns about the temporary extrication of a true Prophet of late-night from his throne, it’s a blip on the radar. Still, even here, it’s probably 50/50 on who is concerned and who is not. Think of it like this. You go to a meeting to deal with an issue that other people deal with, some version that ends with “anonymous”. There are 17 people there, a topic comes up and it’s hotly debated. 8 people are arguing, 6 people occasionally contribute, 2 try to act as peacemaker. The last, let’s call him Fergie, was looking for the Doctors Without Country Club Borders group but put the day in wrong in his Franklin Planner and is too embarrassed to leave. The meeting can still go 2 hours, but there’s still only 17 people and not much changes start to finish. Edited September 20 by leh-nerd skin-erd
