Social Jimmy Kimmel gets Canceled

[Zazen]

Man appointed by Democrat governor, reappointed by Democrat governor, who murdered people for voting against Democrat priorities, and said he did so to help the Democrat governor who reappointed him to the Senate was actually a Republican.

You are gross, and the more you keep doubling down on obvious lies, inflammatory comments, and provocation, is only making things worse for you and everybody who sees these

Do you have sources on all this stuff regarding his motives? He was extremely anti abortion and went on mission trips to Africa where he often spoke about how trans people were being attacked by the enemy. People know him said he was Trump guy.

You could just google this

I guess people are just getting fired for being nice

Like I said originally, you're not a real person. You're a husk, a useful body for propaganda. Don't quote me again.

The federal fuckin government should only get involved for repeated, egregious violations of their license agreement. Not for a single sentence that’s open to interpretation. Supporting carr here is fuckin gross. Sad partisan bootlicker.

Yet another logical fallacy. You're making an ought claim, not a prescriptive statement. Stop confusing the two. Of course you can say the FCC ought not to have done what they did. What you cannot say is that the FCC violated ABC or Jimmy Kimmel's First Amendment rights. They didn't. ABC doesn't have the constitutional right to air programming on the public airwaves for free. Jimmy Kimmel doesn't have the constitutional right to share his opinion on public airwaves for free. Those are privileges, not rights.

As I've said ad nauseum, you as an individual have the right to free speech. The government doesn't have the obligation to build you a platform.

As the non-partisan bootlicker you pretend to be, I notice you still fail to condemn the federal government's violation of millions of American's first amendment rights when it coerced social media platforms into censoring anyone who questioned the outcome of rigged elections or untested vaccines.

Why would they have to modify or remove laws if they aren’t beholden to them to begin with?

I don't understand your question. Who is "they"? The government? What networks would the government use to air hardcore pornography on TV? They don't own the television networks. The only way the government could air pornography is if they changed the rules that allowed the networks to run it. At which point the networks either would or wouldn't run it.

This sure would be a lot easier if any of you had even a sliver of an idea what you were talking about.

You might want to check your sources, but a Mormon 2a supporting kid with religious nut job parents wasn't some blue haired college nut lol

The source saying Tyler Robinson is a leftist was his parents. Please, tell us who your sources are.

 

[Brother Numsi]

Aye.

The thing is, when the left laughed, it was over private companies dealing with their own profits. Wrong? Maybe. Hypocritical? Ya betcha. But it wasn't over the federal government so blatantly and transparently getting involved.

This is different. This is people saying "Thank God Daddy Trump and the government saved us from wrong think."

The shoe will be on the other foot one day. And I hope that hypothetical future administration cares more about the constitution that the current one does.

Oh no. I think firing Kimmel over what he said was a joke (no pun intended) I just remember people gloating when the folks they didn’t like or agree with were getting fired or banned from social media. I was just pointing out how everyone is so quick to change up when it’s their turn. A friend of mine said after he saw people laughing when Kirk was assassinated that the same folks dancing on his grave will be dancing on yours the minute you disagree with them.

This whole thing is a scary game with no winners.

Are you one of the people being purposely obtuse or do you just have reading comprehension challenges?

Yes.

You are missing an important point. While ABC has no absolute right to the airwaves, the FCC still cannot weaponize its regulatory authority to silence specific viewpoints. if the FCC punishes ABC because of Jimmy Kimmel’s political opinions,
that’s no different than the government directly censoring him, it's all about the motive. This has case law history with the government in 63 tried to pressure book stores to not sell certain books and SC rejected it. The First Amendment prohibits government retaliation that chills speech, which precludes revoking a license in retaliation. The license part is not the main point its a distraction. What matters is the motive for threatening to remove it. Just a threat is enough which is called a chilling effect on free speech.

Carr going on Russian funded podcast to pressure abc for his boss who is compromised by Russia is also quite funny.

The FCC didn't weaponize its regulatory authority whatsoever. Brendan Carr was perfectly within his rights as the head of the FCC to warn ABC that they were running the possibility of fines or license revocation for violating their licensing agreement.

All of you can pretend to suddenly care about free speech, but you didn't care when government weaponized the judicial system to go after political opponents. You didn't care when government leaned on social media to censor and deplatform millions of Americans who questioned rigged elections or untested vaccines.

You didn't care when Disney fired Gina Carano for her political opinions, which were far less egregious than what Jimmy Kimmel did.

The only reason ANY of you suddenly (pretend) to care about free speech is because cancel culture was finally used against you.

This is all a moot discussion anyway. Disney didn't suspend Kimmel because the FCC reminded them of their obligations. They suspended Kimmel because their affiliates (NexStar and Sinclair) refused to air Kimmel on their affiliate networks until he apologized. Disney can't fight a civil war with their affiliates, and they can't force them to run programming, so they too demanded Kimmel go on air and apologize. When he didn't they suspended him. And the moment they can work something out he'll be back on the air, and none of it will have anything to do with the FCC.

What exactly do you think the FCC does, sport?

Not true. Inside reports state Disney exec's did it because of the FCC threat. affiliates might be pissed but once the FCC threatened, they violated Kimmels constitutional rights. I thought conservatives loved the constitution? Seems like they only care about the part where it gives them the right to shoot someone.

Did you think just restating your claim is actually some form of argument? lol. The whole point of contention is that he was not within his rights to threaten the ABC because Jimmy mocked the president.

What I think does not matter, it doesn't change what the FFC does. If you don't know google it and get back to me.

Where in the constitution are comedians guaranteed the right to exercise free speech on public airwaves?

Which constitutional rights do left wingers like, again? You guys aren't pretending to actually like freedom of speech, are you? A late night failure getting fired for intentionally lying during a serious monologue isn't a constitutional crisis, and if it was, Alex Jones needs quite a bit of backpay from the government.

Okay, I googled "roid's opinion about what the FCC does". What now?

More than "pissed". They took his show off of their airwaves. That was the dagger. A worthless show is even more worthless, when you literally can't air it.
