Social Jimmy Kimmel gets Canceled

[Siver!]

"THEY CALL US FASCIST! HAHAHAHA! IF WE WERE FASCIST YOU WOULDN'T BE ALLOWED TO SAY THAT! OPEN DEBATE YEAH!"

*Federal government takes another step towards outright fascism by stopping people saying things*

"...Good...?"

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

The government didn't fire him.

BRACE FOR: This isn't civil debate, Kimmel is actually shooting guns!

 

[Confucamus]

This thread is going to be epic.

Don't do things that negatively impact your employer . Fairly simple. Keep your stupid comments to conversations at the dinner table or the comforts of your own home.

people can't, they are too self-centered these days, the world can't do without their little opinion. Maybe it was a case of intentional self sabotage but most of the people I'm seeing running off at the mouth or posting their horseshit seem totally out of touch with real life ramifications. That's what happens when you live in a fake ass world.

What he said was pretty mild. Thought he was getting cancelled because he's not funny.

 

[Noveltymortar]

Well deserved. He had already turned his show from entertainment that both sides could enjoy into a de facto political ad for the democrats, and his statements about the Kirk murder were so ridiculous and dishonest that even his liberal bosses realized it was time to call an end to the bullshit.

The ABC late-night host’s remarks constituted “the sickest conduct possible,” FCC chair Brendan Carr told right-wing podcaster Benny Johnson on Wednesday. Carr suggested his FCC could move to revoke ABC affiliate licenses as a way to force Disney to punish Kimmel.

“We can do this the easy way or the hard way,” Carr said. “These companies can find ways to change conduct and take actions on Kimmel, or there’s going to be additional work for the FCC ahead.”

ABC has every right to fire him for whatever reason they choose within the legal statute of California law.

The government threatening ABC and forcing their hand is pretty authoritarian to say the least

The government didn't fire him.

Is the FCC not the government?

 

[DoctorTaco]

The government didn't fire him.

The government threatened the company that fired him

FCC didn't fire him ABC did and Kimmel did it to himself by using his platform to offend half the country.

 

[Seano]

The government threatened the company that fired him

Why'd they do that?

 

[Siver!]

This has to be the biggest self-own I've ever seen

Kimmel doesn't even matter here, it's purely a case of the government taking a shit on the right's beliefs, and the right being forced to eat it in the name of populism

 

[DoctorTaco]

Why'd they do that?

They didn’t like what he said

 

[Seano]

They didn’t like what he said

What, no way! How come?

Man it must be nice to be this simple. lmao

You can't draw the line?

The FCC director threatens to take action against ABC if they don't do the thing he wants because he didn't like the thing a tv host said. But that isn't the government infringing on free speech?

 

[Takes Two To Tango]

This is not a surprise, this is bound to happen to Jimmy Kimmel. He's been against Trump and his administration from the get go.

They were waiting for Kimmel to slip, and this was it.

Good, was about time, stupid clown.
