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.

Trump, as a businessman may have given them the best deal to lance a political boil.

Namely Kimmel.

Face it, his time was up, he buried himself into a TDS hole, said the wrong shit and got fired.

Oohrah for freedom of speech.

Justify by any means possible.

I never heard Jeebus talk about that. Or Kimmel

We can confront them together.

Who made you the moderator of this thread?

It's about a bigot being removed because his employer did not like his product.

Seen it before and yall thought it was cool.

Kimmel is nothing more or less than a confederate memorial.

And of course it sucks when you become the memorial the crowd now hates.

Tete a tete.

Or perhaps it was the Goypers, or the odd fellows.

And there is a definite chance it was the wobblies.

This is the hilarious part. My god, the "fuck your feelings" crowd sure are a bunch of man-babies who get their feelings hurt so easily.

Show us on the doll where mean ol' Jimmy Kimmel hurt you, MAGA. Unless you just want to take a personal day today. I know. You've been through so much. There there. There there.

OP said "words have consequences". What words, exactly? Where did Jimmy hurt you?

[Green_Mountain]

Maybe Jimmy shouldn’t have lied and said Kirk’s assassin was MAGA?

Who’d a thunk a lie has consequences?

Bye, bye Jimmy!

[tommy156]

Except he wasn't lying, but even if was... lying is a crime punishable by cancelation?

Since when? Since fascism?

Mind you, this is merely a hypothetical, because Kimmel wasn't even lying.

The party of small government and free speech sure is getting a boner for censoring a late night comedian for playing back a recording of trump being a douche.

... Hee Hee! ... The liberal lads aint understandin'
what happened.

... Jimmy Kimmel got "cancelled" because ABC/Disney
insisted that he retract his lie - and he refused.

... As I mentioned, ABC/Disney feared another Lawsuit.

Hahahahahahahaha!

So Jimmy Kimmel told the truth, ABC knew he told the truth, but decided to fire his ass any way? What a fantasy, illogical world some live in.

I’m sure you libs also accused Biden of being a fascist when Tucker Carlson was fired. Or when Gina Carano was fired by Disney for speaking out against Covid mandates.

The double standard never ends.

Nope. Not why Kimmel got his ass fired.

Kimmel got fired for lying. He deserves exactly what he got. Try telling the truth some time, Jimmy.

Dude, even if he did lie (which he most definitely did NOT - Kirk's killer was a MAGA), lying once isn't grounds for pulling a show off the air. Unless you're cool with the USA becoming a dictatorship?? I can't believe this is even a discussion. Holy shitballs.

[Green_Mountain]

Nope.

Jimmy lied and got what he deserved.

Remember when conservative, Roseanne Barr got fired for a tweet?

Remember when Trump got removed from Twitter?

What’s good for the goose is good for gander. And the world is a better place without Jimmy on TV.

[Green_Mountain]

Here’s a great clip of schizophrenic MSNBC flip flopping on the issue of speech to now support Kimmel vs attacking Tucker.

Lie, flip flop, make shit up, brainwash the people.
