Isn’t misinformation the greatest threat to democracy? I forget who told me that.

Maybe I missed something but when I listened to the Charlie Kirk portion of his monologue…I didn’t hear anything offensive.

That's the biggest question... which words do we feel drew the outrage?

Oh here we go again.

Which words do "WE" feel caused the outrage?

For fucks sake, not the same words you THINK caused the outrage.

Because I believe Kimmel spoke the wrong words.

You think our words are wrong, and that's OK.

But words have consequences.

[HDGristle]

Yeah. But which ones? What part of the monologue was beyond the pale and was the FA that FO?

Isn’t anyone worried about the fact that the FCC chairman threatened ABC over the Jimmy Kimmel monologue.

FCC threatens Jimmy Kimmel. ABC shamefully caves.

In a stunning move, ABC announced Wednesday, Sept. 17 that it was taking "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" off the air indefinitely, after FCC chairman Brendan Carr threatened Kimmel and the network on a podcast over comments Kimmel made about the man charged with shooting Charlie Kirk.

In a year of gutless moves by major media companies, this may be the most gutless. ABC should be ashamed.

Earlier Wednesday, Brendan Carr, the chairman of the Federal Communications Commission, threatened ABC, Disney and Jimmy Kimmel over a Kimmel monologue that included comments about Charlie Kirk, ominously saying, "We can do this the easy way or the hard way."

A quick reminder that Carr is the chairman of the FCC, not a mob boss in a third-rate gangster movie. It's another example of Donald Trump's administration's threats to free speech, or at least free speech that doesn't praise Trump. Anything the president doesn't agree with or takes offense to, you're all out of luck.

Which is the opposite of how free speech works.

This is the sadly logical next step in the evolution of revenge politics
