Jimmy made a quip about Diaper constantly going after every late night chat show's ratings who dare to make a joke about him being awful that his ratings definitely weren't failing last night.

I was proud of him for speaking sorrowfully about Kirk the day after he was murdered. His first words on the show were about how horrendous it was. He nearly broke down last night about it. The last time I saw him like that was after his son nearly died and needed emergency heart surgery.

Interesting that he specifically highlights this as a personally lucrative opportunity
And by interesting I mean naked corruption

The fact he doesn't name the person from ABC telling him that Jimmy was a goner means there was no such phone call, he always loves to name everyone in his 3am incoherent sobbing flimsy rants.
AFAI recall, they said he had been put on gardening leave indefinitely, not that he'd been fired/cancelled.

The fcc chair threatened to pull the license of a company if they didn’t address a specific individual on something they’d have zero basis to taking any action.

You continuing to pretend there was any legitimacy to the threat is laughable. Embarrassing.

Post the exact quote.

After you commend on the Biden junta violating the first amendment rights over millions of Americans.

I tried to tell you folks the administration has been staging a coup.
Maybe you'll finally wake up when you're in jail for not being orange enough or some shit.
Sad bunch of yanks.

The shareholders want names. Damn, this is ugly.

Disney Hit With Legal Salvo From Shareholders Over Jimmy Kimmel Suspension

The entertainment giant may soon have to turn over documents and communications dealing with the late-night host's sidelining, including company moderation polices and copies of deals with affiliate stations addressing their right to pre-empt programming.

Kimmel sucks but this weaponization of the government to remove criticism is scary. Things are going in a bad direction.

Covid is so 2020, this is a far cry from that, this is one guy, we had millions censored en mass

 

[chardog]

Kimmel lying and getting heat is par the course and equivalent to Brian Williams losing his job

Just watched the first three minutes of his monologue. Do I believe his tears? Half and half. Why? Because I think it’s a mix of the emotion he felt because he was afraid of being cancelled full-time and, at the same time, the fact that he really does not want somebody to be killed. That doesn’t necessarily mean he’s crying about Kirk per se, but more about the idea of a young father being executed.

I’m glad he also reflected—only in one sentence, but hey, still—that he had pointed the finger at others in the past (Roseanne and Tucker) and that it came back at him the same way.

So, I’m glad he’s back. Although, as I said in my first post in this thread, I don’t think he’s uber funny or anything. But yeah—people (no matter which side they’re on) should be allowed to say what they want without the government, or even shitstorms from any side, being able to cancel them. No matter if it’s about somebody who got shot, somebody illegal, or somebody who does in fact look like a character from Planet of the Apes. Period.

This. And they were ok with it.

Also, good for Jimmy Kimmel for getting his show back. Erika Kirk won't get her husband back. His kids won't get their dad back.

I don't get why these assholes with multimillions are worried about a paycheck. Sure, they have people that depend on them but I never take the "i have people relying on me" line seriously.

From what I saw of his statement he was plain wrong wasn't he? didn't he say the killer was one of "them" the guy looks to be some sort of trans defender. Overall, I don't get what a late night host has to say of relevance about serious, tragic shit like that, like I keep saying, people can't shut their mouths.

At any rate, he's not the only talk show host to get canned, anyone remember Bill Maher getting canned for running off at the mouth about iraqis' or whoever? He lost his show on network tv but he picked up another so he was ok.

Let's fire Carr... also, while we are at it... How about we dump the FCC altogether?

Where was your outrage when the Democrats silenced Americans on Facebook, Twitter, Google, YouTube, and Yahoo?

They should not have done that. It was the wrong thing to do.

Re: the bold, if you're talking about the comment that sparked this shitshow, no. That is false. It doesn't stop people from repeating that lie over and over though, sadly.

He didn't say anything whatsoever about the killer. He spoke only about the actions/reactions of MAGA people to the news during the period between time of the shooting and the arrest of the alleged perpetrator.

Re: your first paragraph, do you think all the other people working on the show would still get paid if the show were cancelled?

Re: the last paragraph, is that supposed to make it ok? Are they even comparable situations? Did the head of the FCC publicly declare that Maher had to go or else? This is the part some people still seem to be glossing over or just plain don't understand. If ABC had issued a press release saying something to the effect of "Fuck you, Kimmel; what you said was shitty and you're fired," in isolation that's a business decision and they'd have every right to do it. People might complain but there wouldn't be this degree of backlash.

What actually happened is ABC had no intention of taking action against Kimmel until the chairman of the FCC threatened ABC's parent company, Disney, and 2 companies needing FCC rule changes and approval for mergers (which shouldn't be allowed to proceed) jumped on board to help apply pressure by not airing Kimmel's show on their stations. That is why it's deemed an unconstitutional violation of the 1st amendment, and illegal according to the FCC's own rules.

I hope that clears some things up for you.
