Jimmy Kimmel thing
-
ps. In USA, broadcast licensees like ABC are required legally to be strictly even-handed & factual, different from cable networks.
Given broadcasters intensive lying over these many years: If FCC / Carr are involved: It's looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong overdue.

The Fairness Doctrine was abolished in the United States in 1987 under Reagan. The FCC exercises certain speech restraints on over-the-air broadcasters, but those are confined to specific topics, which usually have been identified by Congress through legislation or adopted by the FCC through full notice-and-comment pursuant to the Administrative Procedures Act (e.g., indecency, obscenity, commercial content in children's programming, conduct of on-air contests/game shows, or the Emergency Alert System).
The FCC doesn't have carte blanche power to enforce fairness or even-handedness. The FCC does not have the power to force broadcasters not to criticize the presidential administration.
The FCC Chairman said on the podcast:
“We can do this the easy way or the hard way. These companies can find ways to take action on Kimmel or there is going to be additional work for the FCC ahead.”
And make no mistake, he was threatening to use his power to punish broadcasters with whom he disagrees. He made sure to clarify his threat on the Sean Hannity Show, where he further explained:
"Over the years, the FCC walked away from enforcing [the] public interest obligation. I don’t think we’re better off as a country for it.... They [meaning late night hosts] went from going for applause, from laugh lines to applause lines. They went from being court jesters that would make fun of everybody in power to being court clerics and enforcing a very narrow political ideology...."
FCC Chairman Carr called the late night hosts a "narrow, partisan circus," and said that the FCC was currently working to reinvigorate enforcement of the "public interest obligation" of broadcasters.
You're delusional and living in fantasyland if you think the decision was based on ratings. I mean, Sinclair Broadcasting Group, owner of ABC affiliates, literally told Kimmel in Sinclair's official press release to make a "direct apology" for the comments and demanded he make a donation to both Kirk's family and to Kirk's Turning Point USA. You cannot pretend that the actions were because of rating. They were a reaction to the comments and the backlash from the FCC and Trump.

Let Kimmel try his hand at live, free OUTDOOR, OPEN AIR shows where he talks to opponents - like Charlie Kirk.
Nexstar & Sinclair owner networks determined that their viewers wouldn't watch Kimmel anymore - they dropped Kimmel first, Disney & ABC followed - market forces.
USA broadcast licensees always have obligation to serve their communities honestly & end of "Fairness Doctrine" did not end that, is not what I was talking about.
Disney & ABC centrally imposing KimmelLies & KimmelKrap on their affiliate licensed local broadcasters is not licensees serving their communities honestly.
Trump merely cajoles & allows the system to work as it was always meant to, where local licensees take their obligations seriously & object to public lies & harms imposed on them centrally. Local licensees come back to life, after years of central dictatorship that gave lying, toxic results.

Who would have ever thought we'd miss the days when Conservative hacks liked to pretend they were the side represented by V. Now, they're creaming themselves to emulate this guy:
-
(continued) NOBODY dropped Kimmel for being truthful. He lied.
But they murdered Charlie Kirk & celebrated it widely, because Charlie Kirk was very truthful.
@hubrys swing & miss, something I don't know of & don't care

"To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public." - Theodore Roosevelt

- Obama thinks Charlie Kirk executed in public, & Jimmy Kimmel are same thing.

... whether the speaker is Charlie Kirk or Jimmy Kimmel....
They are not even slightly same.
Kimmel has his Freedom of Speech & can go home to his kids.
- But Sinclair gets it right. They show tribute to Charlie, in place of Jimmy Kimmel
- btw, Sinclair original statement 2 days ago, makes clear they decided things, ABC / Disney were followers.

Sinclair decided to indefinitely preempt Jimmy Kimmel Live beginning tonight. Following these discussions, ABC suspended production of “Jimmy Kimmel Live!”

The suspension of @jimmykimmel
and the promise to silence other Late Night hosts for criticizing the administration should disturb everyone on the Right, Left, and Center. It’s wrongBut not even 1 / 1 000 000 000 as wrong as publicly executing Charlie Kirk.
Not 1 / 1 000 000 as wrong as years of bashing MAGA with fake news & obvious hoaxes.
Not 1 / 1 000 as wrong as those of you libs (Kimmel) who continue to lie about Kirk after his death, or who enjoy & lie about his murder.

“Reducing a liar’s reach is not the same as censoring freedom of speech; freedom of speech is different than freedom of reach,”
what libs
used to say 
Remember: Kimmel spread misinformation. Disinformation. Malinformation.
On air. Lied to his audience.

Kimmel inspired shooting: https://community.gaytor.rent/topic/67952/lib-fan-of-jimmy-kimmel-shoots-at-abc-station-in-california
-
-
ABC restores Kimmel with no apology for his lie that caused violence.
It shows, whole thing was only their publicity stunt.
But it doesn't quite work: Sinclair still blocks him.
& Kimmel fan who shot ABC station is stuck in jail. Stunt doesn't wok out for him either.
-
- That time Kimmel -he wanted unvaxxed people dead-. Douche.
vid - https://x.com/i/status/1970541186852311477
- Reminder, libs said "Freedom of speech is not freedom of reach. It's OK to limit reach"
Especially when outright misinformation (Kimmel) leads to gun violence (ABC station shooting).
- Nexstar joins Sinclair to limit freedom of reach, for violent liar Kimmel.
You had it coming, libs.
Suck it good.
-
"Kimmel lost his job for four days, and they said free speech was under attack. Charlie Kirk was killed for exercising free speech, and they said he had it coming."
-
Kimmel advocated for Rosanne Barr to be fired and banned from TV, as well as supporting Trump being banned from social media.
-
@raphjd & for unvaxxed to be thrown dead on streets, & Biden to jail Jimmy's perceived political opponents.
