Come on Fergie.  Take some ownership here on the part of your party.   Biden is who he always was, a narcissist and all-about-Biden, prone to gaffes and telling some whoppers.  You guys like to pretend he was like that classic corvette (the one he liked to keep the top secret files in the trunk), but in truth he was an old junker spitting and sputtering, dropping parts along the road and brakes squeaking like the devil.   
 

He didn’t f you all as much as you allowed yourself to be f’d.  

Trump.

Gee I wonder why Sinclair has broadcasted Kimmel for 22 years ?

 

You are so simple sometimes Joe.

 

 

they haven't been looking to change FCC rules for 22 years.  And trump hasn't been president for 22 years.  And free speech was mandated until now.  other than that, nothing.

perhaps you should be studying afib rhythm strips.

ABC Affiliate Stations Push Back in the Face of the Network’s Cowardice on Kimmel.

 

It’s fairly obvious why Sinclair is doing this, and it wouldn’t surprise me if we see Nexstar, another large affiliate owner, follow suit.

 

These companies do not expect Kimmel to go on air and show any contrition about his comments, much less offer a sincere apology. Rather, they expect him to double down in a show of defiance. Whether ABC can somehow persuade him to do otherwise has yet to be seen.

 

So why should Sinclair put its neck on the line for a clown like Kimmel when they don’t know how this will be handled?

 

In that sense, their decision to preempt Kimmel’s show is just smart business. It’s also a necessary moral stand in the face of abject cowardice on the part of ABC. The legacy broadcast network had a chance to rid itself of a money sink and negative lightning rod, but instead, they let a bunch of actors and politicians intimidate them into a self-defeating reversal.

 

What now? They just keep setting cash on fire to make sure Jennifer Aniston and Jim Acosta are happy? Talk about painting yourself into a corner. Kimmel will now be unfirable no matter what happens.

That should do wonders for ABC’s ratings long-term: Jimmy Kimmel’s ratings were plummeting before ABC suspended him for Charlie Kirk comments.

nothing to do with the FCC and the merger.  You read and share pieces by clowns.  think for yourself just once.

cool.  let's see if he follows his own orders.  not a bet I'd make.  This is theater.  He's just following up on the shite his propagandists have fed the rubes.   Like you.

I voted for Biden.  There was no other reasonable choice.  he was the only primary candidate that could beat trump in 2020.  And he did.  Soundly.  I would think your nihilism re all things politics would allow you to understand that:  the lesser of evils by far.  It's a constant argument of yours:  Everyone is corrupt so the latest outrageous actions aren't a big deal.

Didn't your mother ever say "If everyone else jumped over Niagara Falls, would you?"

answer in  100 words or less.

Who said Biden didn’t win, soundly, in 2020?  Are you saying he f’d you in 2020?  Put away the yearbook, Gramps, you lost a few years here.

Yes, of course.

I am a little disappointed in myself, I actually thought he had been fired, I believed he had been fired, he was literally suspended for a week and y'all pretended Trump did it. If Trump was involved why did he back off so quickly?

Because it was blatantly unconstitutional and they knew it 

[JDHillFan]

Too funny. I have no doubt that the writer of this piece believes this.

Trump and the Jan 6 traitors and their apologists. Trump is still saying it. You’re not so stupid that you forgot the big lie. With age comes wisdom. Do you blame boomers for your lot?  Thought so  Ageism is almost as bad as racism.  Trump is much older than me and is an exception to the wisdom rule. 
 

btw haven’t seen my yearbook in many years. Surely it’s among the many boxes of books we collectively accumulated. I do recall that it was called The Gridiron after the saint who died on one and supposedly said “ you can turn me over. I’m done on this side”.

Their mistake was not firing him years ago.  Doing it the same day right after the FCC says they can do this the easy or the hard way was just plain stupid.

Then take that up with Trump and the 1/6ers. You and I were talking about how  Biden f’edyou over, which for some reason caused you to jump to 2020.

 

I don’t blame boomers for my lot.  I appreciate those that had a hand in my successes (boomers and others), and at the same time figure most of the challenges were mine to shoulder.  Plus, I’m a boomer, so there’s that.

are you a grandpa or do you just call other boomers that?

 

Do you find being burned to death funny?  I find the story inspirational and amazing.

I never liked Hernandez.  But I never joked about his death.  Not Kirk's either.

And, as it happens, they didn't fire him.  Or cancel the show.  Looks like it was all about the FCC in the first place.
