I think we can rule out he was a MAGA. It wouldn't make any sense and this is from my perspective, last ditch effort to not want the accountability on the Left. I think the intent is clear too but again he never technically said someone from MEGA assassinated Kirk. I think ABC won't fight it because they wanted Kimmel off the air anyways. 1 1

I think ABC won't fight it because they wanted Kimmel off the air anyways. I can respect this. I just feel with the intent so clear, especially in a high level case like this and the sensitivity behind it....I think it's a violation.

I think ABC won't fight it because they wanted Kimmel off the air anyways. Don't know if you saw me upthread mention it several times but this is a win/win for the Democrats, Diseny, and Kimmel. Kimmel, first, can claim he was politically attacked vs. let go for failure to turn profits. Colbert, after all, was fired not long ago. Late night shows just don't do it anymore. Disney can continue to pound their chest as a liberal platform and draw sympathy for it while continuing to do business claiming they let the FCC do whatever. Democrats can claim the FCC was weaponized in plain site, somehow they'll allege this has never been done before. The weaponization against the media, though it has many times over through the FCC, IRS, and more. Democrats get the needle moved on governing media and speech a thing as a bipartisan issue - both sides do it... We will continue to do it... And then next term they're in they'll use it to their advantage.

JFKjr Posted September 18 Posted September 18 I kinda feel sorry for Kimmel, and I'll tell you why. It's almost like a bait and switch was pulled. Lefties have been pretty much able to say whatever they want about whatever they want with no repercussions. I'll bet the 'celebrating' over Rush Limbaugh's death was much more extensive than what we saw with Charlie Kirk. People didn't get fired over that. It was a whole THING for Lefties. 'Charlie Kirk Death Celebrations' were supposed to be more of the same. And Kimmel suggesting the killer was a Maga supporter was just the Left doing what it normally does. So I don't blame Kimmel for being shocked and angry. Obviously he didn't get the memo. I'm Glad Rush Limbaugh Lived Long Enough To Get Cancer And Die
SectionC3 Posted September 18 Posted September 18 31 minutes ago, Doc Brown said: He technically never spread any false information. Technically. I guess you can say he lied by omission (not saying that the shooter was radicalized by the left). I don't like Kimmel because he's both not funny and a propaganda outlet for the left which is supposed to be a "comedy" show. That's why they should've cancelled the show. I'm uneasy with the government being part of the reason it was cancelled though. At this juncture, that's not provable. And define "radicalized." Maybe he was radicalized by listening to nonsense at his parents' house. The whole thing is absurd. I don't really care that ABC got rid of Kimmel. I care that the friggin FCC threatened the license over something like this. It's asinine. 1 minute ago, JFKjr said: I kinda feel sorry for Kimmel, and I'll tell you why.

He said a lot of nasty stuff. "Feminazi" seems to ring a bell. But nobody went after the licenses of the affiliates like this.

Just get a regular late night host that pokes fun at both sides and political jokes are only like 5% of the show. Seems like a no brainer to me. 1

Oh yeah, when you say "MAGA trope" it's a compliment. You are as easy to read as a Dr. Suess Book.

Have at it. LOL. My god you are thick. https://www.fcc.gov/broadcast-news-distortion What is the FCC's responsibility? The FCC has had a policy against "news distortion" in over-the-air broadcast (local TV and radio stations) news for over 50 years. Cable news networks, newspapers or newsletters (whether online or print), social media platforms, online-only streaming outlets, or any other non-broadcast news platform are outside of the FCC's jurisdiction with respect to news distortion. News distortion "must involve a significant event and not merely a minor or incidental aspect of the news report." In weighing the constitutionality of the policy, courts have recognized that the policy "makes a crucial distinction between deliberate distortion and mere inaccuracy or difference of opinion." As a result, broadcasters are only subject to enforcement if it can be proven that they have deliberately distorted a factual news report. Expressions of opinion or errors stemming from mistakes are not actionable. 3 minutes ago, SectionC3 said: Let's not forget Barack the Magic *****. That's another one from the greatest hits.

Wolfgang Posted September 18 Posted September 18 Now that Kimmel is gone, perhaps he can be replaced by an illegal alien comedian working for $50,000 a year... That would be funny... And everyone saves money...

I'm suggesting that if the networks want to continue with their late night shows they should wise up and pick someone who won't turn off half of the country by giving political lectures. 1 minute ago, Wolfgang said: Now that Kimmel is gone, perhaps he can be replaced by an illegal alien comedian working for $50,000 a year...

Black face is bad, for sure. But did it happen on air? That’s the issue here.
