SectionC3 Posted September 18 Posted September 18 36 minutes ago, Royale with Cheese said: Well I have the ability to use deductive reasoning. Kimmel makes stupid remarks that are not true. Violates the FCC. ABC potentially liable for this. 100% with certainty there was a meeting with Legal. ABC removed Kimmel immediately. Yeah you're right, I have zero basis for my assertion. I am just grabbing nothing in air. What does that mean? And, put your finger on the violation. There's no profanity or hate speech here. This isn't something that would get a license pulled in any iteration of a rational universe. Yet here we are.
Royale with Cheese Posted September 18 Posted September 18 2 minutes ago, SectionC3 said: It may be. I think the FCC comments did it in large part because the candle of the show (probably profitable, but not a huge profit driver like, say, MNF, Saturday Night Football, or 90s Seinfeld) wasn't worth the game of the FCC headache. And, FYI, this isn't directed at you, but at the person who cited the August numbers. It's friggin August. TV viewership is down across the board. They're also 18-49 numbers IIRC, which probably aren't the target demo of that show. Kimmel has been losing ratings for years. 1

You seem to think he was telling the truth. So give me actual facts that this kid was MAGA. Concrete facts this kid is MAGA. He can use profanity. He will get fined but not fired unless he doesn't stop and that's ABC's decision. 1

Time to purge the domestic terrorist in this country ASAP!! Sure, but in against cancel culture. I think he can say whatever he wants and it's up to people to tune him out when they have had enough. Clearly that is what has happened. It started with colbert being cNceled by finance. Disney didn't want to admit defeat and it's a lot better optics to attack Trump on this. Just like bon jovi did when he couldn't buy the bills and claimed Trump made up the move to Canada thing... Kimmell is gone because he didn't make money. Point blank. Period. 1 1

SectionC3 Posted September 18 Posted September 18 48 minutes ago, Royale with Cheese said: Kimmel has been losing ratings for years. Of course he has. Like all of linear television. Is the show still profitable? Is it still a good lead for a (likely highly profitable) morning show? Tale not told in those numbers. 45 minutes ago, Royale with Cheese said: He stated the kid was MAGA. The kid wasn't MAGA. That's the integrity violation. You seem to think he was telling the truth.

Directly from the FCC Chairman. “It was appearing to directly mislead the American public about a significant fact that probably one of the most significant political events we’ve had in a long time, for the most significant political assassination we’ve seen in a long time,” he said. On Wednesday, before ABC yanked Kimmel’s show, Carr called Kimmel’s comments “truly sick” and said there was a “strong case” for action against ABC and Disney. “This is a very, very serious issue right now for Disney. We can do this the easy way or the hard way,” Carr told right-wing commentator Benny Johnson that day. “These companies can find ways to take action on Kimmel, or there is going to be additional work for the FCC ahead.” “They have a license granted by us at the FCC, and that comes with it an obligation to operate in the public interest,” Carr said. https://www.cnbc.com/2025/09/18/jimmy-kimmel-charlie-kirk-fcc-carr.html

Any basis for that other than your hopes? Lead in for a morning show, huh? 🤦🏻

nedboy7 Posted September 18 Posted September 18 Can’t wait to hear why we can’t have midterms or why we can’t trust any place a Dem wins. Bye bye America.

boyst Posted September 18 Posted September 18 People are also being short-sighted to realize the political play of the democratic party is to label this as a political move to silence kimmel. That is the best and smartest play for them in the long run. This effectively moves the bar that the government acting to quell descent has already occurred with precedent The long term goal becomes that it will actually become a true open-faced political maneuver to silence descent for those in office. So for those not getting it, the Republicans used their power of the FCC to fire Kimmel in democratic optics. Even though Kimmel was a goner because of bad ratings in the ad revenue falling Disney is allowing the narrative to be a political goal, which also suits their individual interest as a political representative. So because the FCC use pressure to fire Kimmel, even though the left has used it before, and the right in the 60s and '70s.... Now it's back in the mainstream with social media, social media that was used by the left to crush dissent on the right behind the scenes and once called a conspiracy theory... I'll be open-faced and more aggressive when the 2028 democratic president takes office. Likely newsome, who has no problem being a king jackass. The Democrats are playing this perfectly and everyone is falling for it.
LeviF Posted September 18 Posted September 18 Just a reminder that the Biden DOJ arrested and put Douglass Mackey through four years of lawfare (including putting him before a jury that was made up of people who were decidedly not his peers) for making memes. And every leftist thinks this is good and right and their only regret is that his rigged conviction was overturned by the 2nd Circuit. Getting fired is the merciful option for these people. 1 1
