Social Jimmy Kimmel gets Canceled

[Andy Capp]

Yes it was due to indecency. The other side argued the rule was too vague and amounted to censorship, the court disagreed. Dude youre hanging out on a discussion forum then acting high and mighty when someone tries to discuss something with you lol Save the dramatics. Carr made the statements he did because Kimmel insinuating a murder victim was killed by "one of his own" is highly inappropriate to air on TV. If ABC thinks their rights were violated they could take it to court. Going by their statement it doesn't seem they think anything of the sort.

No, he didn't.

 

[Striderxdj]

It's possible that's what he meant. The headlines I've seen say what I was thinking but it could be he was trying to say everyone is desperate to distance themselves and that "he couldn't possibly be from our group" which I'd agree has some truth.

I'd also agree that there's truth to him saying some people are using this as an opportunity which I expressed in another post in the Kirk thread. Without a doubt there are some out there who are not really thinking of Kirk but are thinking how to leverage the situation. 100%. I can't say how large that group is though.

Regardless, Kimmel wasn't one of the people cheering at the situation. He was trying to point of hypocrisy. Canceling him is an overreach.

Agree 100%

 

[BIKES!]

No they don't. Calling Floyd a scumbag who OD'd on fentanyl is a way of decrying the guilty verdict of Chauvin, not a celebration of Floyd's death. Obviously they don't think highly of Floyd but it's quite a different matter to be filled with glee over murder.

Just take a step back and think critically. This evil, leftist death cult and the bat shit crazy whataboutism’s compared a free speech debater in Charlie Kirk to a multiple felon, drug addicted career criminal who resisted arrest and died from an OD. The entire discussion there, was about whether the knee on the neck was the correct use of force and the cause of his death. Science (something the left hates) proved he died of an overdose. Somewhere and somehow race was even brought into the equation.

Then after the Floyd comparison (a felon with fucking statues and 10s of billions of tax dollars burned in riots), tried to compare a state legislature killed in MN, that not a single notable conservative pundit, did anything but condemn.

It’s not that this cult is simply armed with low-IQs, and void of critical thinking. They are a blood thirsty cult, brainwashed past the point of return.

I would offer forgiveness to all the blood thirsty cult members (like Kimmel) if they are willing to sit through 100 hours of CK’s debates. Like all things, they have cut and pasted the worst sound bites, out of context, from the early part of his career, to create propaganda that supports the cult’s fantastical lies.

Sick people to the core. You see them in this thread.

Hope Jimmy does a 40-minute monologue on how MAGA are fascists and Charlie Kirk's memorial service weirdly didnt have any relatives or close friends. Just his wife and a bunch of political rabble-rousing.

In retrospect I bet he is hella disappointed he got cancelled for the tame shit he said

given the chance again I like to think he'd lead with 'hey guys, if I attacked and nearly killed Melania with a hammer, do you think it would be the work of an 'amazing patriot' to bail me out? After all, what screams 'patriotism' louder than implicitly supporting the political violence that this country was built on? I used to have a more judgemental take on the whole thing but I've been ruminating on the words of the late, great Charlie Kirk, and he's showed me to a different path'

 

[IanEdwards]

Multiple people have said you’re a complete joke of a fraud mod

Joke of a poster indeed, but I've yet to see any joke behaviour specifically as a mod. Just for balance.

 

[IanEdwards]

Brace yourselves for a late night comedy thrashing. Lots of gold to mine from that RNC masquerading as a funeral. So many depraved grifters and cult leaders in one room. That dress code! The merch! That hypocrisy! Imagine the smell!

MAGA is nothing if not classy, and the memorial to CK was nothing if not fitting.

This is how I heard it 100%, I'd guess he was very careful how he worded it too.

Didn't stop the entire MAGA clown world erupting that HE LIED as though the words he said were entirely different. Mind you confected outrage is pretty much literally their only beat in a one-beat score.

Dude watching all this shit from Australia is hard to comprehend, our politics is so boring by comparison (which is a good thing btw)

Agreed, unfortunately I (UK) see our own politics heading in this direction more than somewhat.

You've gone beyond us. We don't have meme police showing up at our doors.

 

[Starman]

again, your bootlicking is embarrassing.

the public airways belong to the public. not the federal government. and they have zero right or ability to arbitrarily revoke a license because they didn't like a sentence a late night host said.

you clearly WANT them to have that right. you probably want trump to have the ability to take people mean to him off the air. but just be aware. it's embarrassing for you.

Again, you have no clue what you're talking about. Like ALL "public" utilities, they ARE run by the government. As a disgusting communist, you ought to know this. They not only have the right, they have the responsibility to grant and revoke a license based on whether or not a licensee uses those public airwaves in a method that serves the public interest.

Want and ought have nothing to do with anything. But if you WANT to know what I WANT, no, I wouldn't want the government in control of public airwaves. I would much rather television programming be done through the private market, the way cable and streaming are. Unlike you, however, I understand that what I WANT or what I think OUGHT to be don't change what IS.

This is all moot, as I said from the beginning. Disney is bringing Kimmel back, and said in their statement why they suspended him (and it had nothing to do with the FCC). Sinclair STILL refuses to air him in their local affiliate markets, and this too has nothing to do with the FCC.

But you keep whining like the little communist bitch you are. You're impressing everyone.

Democracy was over for like 2 days..

 

[curryjunkie]

That WILL be the narrative from them very soon. As comments get buried and videos get deleted because people don't want to get fired, it will turn into "it was only a few, you're exaggerating." Luckily, that will never fly because nobody could forget the left celebrating, en masse, all over the internet and social media sites. Also fortunate that there was a big movement to save as much evidence as possible to not allow the left to gloss over just how bad it was. They were all over Erika Kirk's Instagram mocking her and her children. I've never seen anything like it.

"They" .. unless " they " were on video or provable real accounts, I'm gonna say the "evidence" is flimsy as fuck..

 

[Blayt7hh]

Evidence was out. He acted with malice and upstanding Americans and employers are done with vitriolic propaganda. Kimmel is a non-funny diarrhea show with terrible ratings. He is a hypocrite and two bit grifter that learned the hard way there are consequences for being a liar and a piece of shit.

lol what exactly did he say that got you so triggered? He statement was mild and didn’t even say anything negative about Kirk. You can let go of your pearls now Karen

 

[Blayt7hh]

No the psyop is running this shit on twitter for marks like you. None of that erases the FCC own admission to what he was doing. Nor does it erase Trump calling his targets.

This is why so many people have been telling you to get off twitter. You’re full retard now

 

[Kassitus]

None of you actually believe the fcc could take any legitimate action based on what he said. Yet you’re ok with the fcc chair making public threats blatantly overstepping.

If you walk up to the line but don't cross it you can't be too surprised when you get a warning.

 

[Rational Poster]

I mean, yeah it is. But their right to free speech should be preserved despite that irony-- unless people don't actually care about free speech, only about their team.

The fascist sections of the MAGA movement really think the law and constitution should be for them, and not for everyone else. Trump especially.

 

[Kassitus]

Are you one of those people claiming he was commenting about Robinson's ideological leanings when he never once claimed anything of the sort?

Sad.

He didn't blame anything on anything. He said MAGA was screeching about "the left" being to blame before anything was confirmed to be known about the shooter and he was correct. Read the full text of his comment.

Going by the letter of the word I agree with you, but the context and the delivery make it easy to interpret it otherwise. I imagine most viewers interpreted it as him at least suggesting ideology.

 

[rocketskates]

That is untrue. TBF, at least 2 mods and several other users here keep spreading that lie like they're being paid for it, though.

Late to the party. Someone else corrected me pages ago and I admitted that I had heard bad information.
