Social Jimmy Kimmel gets Canceled

[Scerpi]

because it seems dissenting opinions are no longer accepted.

Boo hoo...

They apparently didn't here either. No complaint was filed by the FCC that I'm aware of.

Correct. They simply threatened to suspend them if they didn’t take action against Kimmel.

You mean some comment made on a bullshit podcast?

Stephen Miller is a bald fascist cuck.

Megyn Kelly has hair, though. There's a mane attached to the horrendous vacuous horse. Fucking disgusting.

If the FCC was really in the business of protecting the public from "misleading" BS they'd start by banning Fox. Or DEAR LEADER. But it's just a fascistic circle jerk. This is the GOP wet dream of the past 40 years coming to fruition.

By the head of the FCC

None of that is illegal

Is Kimmel being prosecuted for something?

 

[BudKing8806]

By the head of the FCC

So, that's it? They didn't actually take any action other than making a comment online?

 

[CantCucktheTuck]

lol..Sinclair Media rubbing the salt in...

Sinclair Broadcast Group, the largest of ABC’s affiliate groups, said that it also objected to Kimmel’s comments, and said that it would “not lift the suspension of ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’ on our stations until formal discussions are held with ABC regarding the network’s commitment to professionalism and accountability.” It also called on Kimmel to make a direct apology to the Kirk family, and for the network to make a “meaningful donation” to them and Turning Point USA.

Good Riddance. His show was horrible. We shouldnt allow people on TV to blatantly lie to pander to their base. That goes for our News too. We need to bring back the Fairness Doctrine.

Neither is his firing.

Not a fan of the way this went down. Not a fan of Kimmel and how political he got but having the FCC step in and basically force ABCs hand screams of infringement on his 1st amendment rights to me.

Much much different than a private company or even public school firing someone.

They didn't force anything that I'm aware of. There wasn't even a complaint filed.

Kimmel's shitty dialogues should be been illegal year ago

Bottom line... He's sucked for years, rating in the shitter and Kimmel conventiently gave ABC a reason to ditch is money hemorrhaging show

Airing reruns of Johnny Carson would pull more ratings than Kimmel

The last late night TV host was actually funny and successful, for 20+ years... who was forced out.... then brought back because his replacement sucked ass

 

[DoctorTaco]

Neither is his firing.

The government threatened to pull their license because they didn’t like what he had to say.

Partisanship aside, this is a big deal.

 

[Streeter]

Probably an easy way for the corporate bean counters to terminate his contract without any pushback.

Likely ABC didn't fight it much lol. Sad as I really liked the Jimmy show in the 00s. Then he went all out political schill n it became insufferable to watch. Honestly his show was worse than Colbert at least Colbert was funny on occasion..

Was it the woman Jimmy Married who twisted him up. I miss Man Show Jimmy maybe can get back with Adam both cross dress and do the She - He show.

You ok?

If his ratings were bad, he’s sucked for years and was costing them money then why wouldn’t they fire him for those things before the federal government threatened to pull their license bc they didn’t like what he said?

 

[DoctorTaco]

So, that's it? They didn't actually take any action other than making a comment online?

The head of the fcc threatened to suspend their license if they didn’t deal with Kimmel. He was fired hours later.

Where’s the disconnect?

 

[SurferH2O]

The government didn’t involve themselves with her firing

They didn't have to... the MSM did the bidding of the Democratic government, and we all knew it. They did what the Democrats wanted with Megyn Kelly, Roseann Barr, and Gina Carano. All of them had far better ratings than Jimmy Kimmel.

Additionally, if you are unfamiliar with who Elvis Chan is and what the government did with him at the point, you may want to look into it.
