No no,
Just finding out that being anti gun isn't a deal breaker with you.....as long as you're an anti Trumper, lol

So did those other affiliates not show any of his show like they said they would do?

No clue....Aftah my 11:00 news was ovah at 11:30 ....I change the channel ..because that

Libtard operative follows my news channel.

Someone can enjoy some of the same things you enjoy. Dislike somethings you like or enjoy.
You are totally free to not understand how that can be..
That is American..

In case you missed it...Jimmy's first guest

Unlike you and your pals, I don't swear allegiance to any man. There is no "deal" to break. Kimmel is a comedian. His entire purpose (at least for me) is to occasionally entertain. Although, this.last week.he also stood up for the 1A.

Stop being so tribal.

I really do not understand how a lawyer can believe that a private company's decision regarding whether or not to air a program can be considered a violation of first amendment rights.

In previous posts he referenced Carr, chair of the FCC as though the FCC had made the decision to pull the show. But, that is not what happened.

BC, you are hypocrite. You constantly admonish anyone in the current administration when something positive is reported by countering with Trump, Bondi, etal. is soft on the 2nd. It's been your go to and end all argument since I can remember. Yet, you're only annoyed by Kimmel being anti 2nd, but otherwise it's ok to agree to disagree and we all get along?

Anyone else see this with him?

ol' dad

I'd say that sums it pretty well.
Super critical of the right
And super passive of the left

Funny how Lawfare was not a problem when it lacked due process and all the manipulation of the statutes that was no big deal to the trump haters. Excuses were made to look the other way you it’s all hypocrisy.

I think that is whataboutism? Pretty common on here.

I'm pretty sure that is how biden got drug into this post.
"What about when biden did something that was not even what he did ?" Anybody read the letter of admission?

Again, Jimmy Kimmel is a comedian. He is not President or Attorney General. He cannot affect my 2A rights. I can simply turn off the television.

That was a statement to mislead from the truth a statement of fact not comedy quit lying about what he said!

I watched maybe a half dozen man show episodes. Seen one seen em all. Was entertaining for the first few. Then repetition bored me. I rarely watch TV and had no interest in his talk show. Never watched one.

Freedom of speech and press are real important. Worth fighting for.

Like my original post I still dont think government shut it down. Trump has a bad habit of running off at the mouth. Its the New York city native in him is my opinion.

My GUESS is in spite of the show losing money his fans made a big enough stink the financiers were afraid of a bigger money bleed. Probably hoping all this attention will increase viewership. Which it probably will.

I understand how someone who has never ran a business or advised a business is missing the pretty obvious point. Let me explain.

If a government official threatens to do something, even if just implied, to a private business, it affects decision making and behavior at that private business.

The threat may be lawful or unlawful.

When talking about Kimmel and ABC, Carr made threats about licenses--among other things.

FCC licenses and other approvals are important to ABC and its affiliates.

Trump and Carr do not like Kimmel because he makes fun of Trump every night. Hence the threats.

Threats about licenses were made to affect the way ABC (or its affiliates) behave in regard to Kimmel.

The threats are a violation of the 1A because those threats could, and did, affect the behavior of ABC--it suspended Kimmel.

In suspending Kimmel, ABC did not violate the 1A. I never said it did.

It is not what I do, but I expect for the threats to be actionable, the FCC would have to actually take some action beyond Carr yapping on a podcast. Regardless, Carr still stepped all over the 1A with his comments. So did Trump with his comments.

"The COVID-19 pandemic was an unprecedented time in which online platforms had to reach decisions about how best to balance freedom of expression with responsibility, including responsibility with respect to the moderation of user-generated content that could result in real world harm.

Senior Biden Administration officials, including White House officials, conducted repeated and sustained outreach to Alphabet and pressed the Company regarding certain user-generated content related to the COVID-19 pandemic that did not violate its policies.

While the Company continued to develop and enforce its policies independently, Biden Administration officials continued to press the Company to remove non-violative user-generated content.

As online platforms, including Alphabet, grappled with these decisions, the Administration's officials, including President Biden, created a political atmosphere that sought to influence the actions of platforms based on their concerns regarding misinformation.

It is unacceptable and wrong when any government, including the Biden Administration, attempts to dictate how the Company moderates content, and the Company has consistently fought against those efforts on First Amendment grounds."

The admission.

You will find this true in everything that’s on the MSM the same shows every time just the players are different often they are the same it’s all about SJW, racism, immigration all promoting the Lefts agendas/narratives.

Oh yeah.

You're way off base, what he said is ok...its where he said it and how his employers also took it.

On broadcast tv For instance they....
cannot swear
Broadcast porn
Guts and gore.

Obviously his employers don't like lying about half the country. (MAGA)


But keep digging, everyone here knows your true intent in backing this anti gun advocate.

That was a whole lot of typing to say that I was right... and that while we both agree that Carr's comments were concerning, there was no infringement of first amendment rights that took place anywhere.
