So essentially all the folks screaming about Trumps over reach (left and right ) were wrong again that he and his admin were moving toward squelching free speech. This was 100% an ABC decision about an inflammatory comment that they knew was inappropriate and they pulled him for an investigation - not any different than what happens at all workplaces. If the government forced this , he isn't back on the air after 6 days. And there are plenty of examples where a business has the right to discipline oamd/or fire somebody for what they said. Happens all the time.

The number of folks that don't understand what freedom of speech means still astounds me. And I doubt very few of the TDS folks come clean after this outcome and will still be clinging to"muh free speech".

hahahhaha yep their argument was ridiculous even if this never happened you will never get those cowards to admit it though.

Better for him to remain on ABC with a bloated team, losing money. The alternative would be his own X/YouTube show where he may get a bigger audience with no leash.


ABC has a YouTube... Well I presume they do. I'm sure Kimmel does as well. Ok I haven't checked... How are his numbers? How are ABCs numbers?

Sinclair holding firm, so really this just makes ABC look like they are pandering...which they are

If Kimmel tapes his show, and no one is there to distribute it, did it really make a sound?

The worst thing the FCC did was get involved or appear to get involved. They could have gotten the free market to make the decision for them.


Then I, as a conservative, would be wondering why the FCC, which all Americans pay for, only gives the left a monopoly over our airwaves.

Sinclair seems to be getting it from all sides…

Quote:
Sinclair Broadcast Group canceled a planned Charlie Kirk tribute just minutes before it was scheduled to air, after violent threats against its ABC affiliates forced the company to shift the program online amid fears of further attacks, according to a report.

The New York Post reported that the decision came after a shooting at an ABC station in Sacramento, California, where a gunman opened fire in the lobby. No one was injured, but the suspectinitially released on bailwas later taken into custody by the FBI.

Sinclair, which operates more than 40 ABC affiliates, feared the broadcast could encourage similar violence.

Yep. He gave the left all they needed to blame it all on Trump and scream about "free speech."

Team Trump loves to step on the rake and toss the opposition a lifeline at the worst possible times.


That was the effect, not the cause. The cause was Kimmel lied on publicly funded airwaves saying an assassin was MAGA.

But yeah we know your old tired shtick. You need treatment for your TDS.

Correct. The fairness doctrine may be gone but I think the mainstream media when they began to fabricate stories, to collude with leftist politicians and alphabet deep staters to leak stories or leak enough to allow for "journalists" to come to wild conclusions presented as fact.

What the broadcast networks have been doing is wrong. Trump will fix it.

**** Disney. Reinforces my dislike for SEC commissioner Sankey for hitching the entire SEC TV wagon to ESPN/ABC/Disney.

Welsh made him do it in order to sync the SEC with his DEI initiatives at A&M. Fairly certain of this.

if the FCC was responsible, how is he coming back then?

This actually proves that the left wing/Democrat/media cries that this was the FCC and Trump being authoritarian is all a load of horse*****

THAT is the message that the right needs to push now.


Unless Kimmel comes back and corrects the record and says he apologizes for intentionally gaslighting the American people by saying the assassin was right wing, then the FCC needs to go right back and continue with what they were saying before Kimmel was suspended.

You'll do one better than me…

I've never seen a single moment of the Kimmel show prior to the 30 seconds of monologue that were tweeted out when this all started…

Don't plan on watching him now…

I'm just curious to what he says when he comes back. I used to watch his show sometimes but then he got super political so I stopped.


You won't need to watch his show to find that out. Unless you go to Mars, you will find out what he will have to say.

If Jimmy Kimmel really wants to do the right thing his first guest should be Erika Kirk.

Or even better, he should show up on her podcast.

Remember when Tucker got canceled on FNC, then went independent? Look how much bigger and unfiltered he is now.

Im not talking about an ABC channel. Im talking about a podcast type show where he gets big left guests etc.....a hypothetical, that could be more effective propaganda.

There is no requirement for us to have broadcast TV.

FCC can cancel all licenses. Done. And good riddance.

Free up that bandwidth.

This is the marketplace working as it should, just as it did last week when it all went down. The First Amendment was never in danger.

Hope it's true. Kimmel is a scourge on American civilized society.

Only because the left has a monopoly on the airwaves. That's the problem.

This is starting to feel and more orchestrated. Either cleanup / arse covering of the decisions last week or there is a negotiated apology coming from Kimmel, and if he refuses he is gone.

Recall, he was raring to go that next night with a double down calling out MAGA.

Not sure it's in him to ear any words.

What are Tucker's nightly numbers before he got crossways with Fox?

What are Kimmel's numbers?

I don't think there's a SINGLE former Fox host that doesn't solo out do entire major networks entire social feeds and extra platform viewership.

Kimmel is a nobody

Is there any way to get this guy off the air? He's a money losing moron. He's coming back on with no apology.

If that liberal ********** tells a single lie, I'd yank the license from the affiliates.
