FCC Chair Carr says 'we're not done yet' after Jimmy Kimmel suspension by ABC
And the unconstitutional assault on the 1st amendment keeps on coming.
Aw, poor ABC, did appeasing fascists not work out for you? Nobody could have predicted that! /s
Trump also wants to cancel the other late nights hosts. They mean they’re going beyond ABC.
It just means they're gonna be really easy to bully into submission. Perfect target for a schoolyard bully like Trump.
"'Mislead' the American public" is all it takes to get cancelled now? Great! Let's run down the list of "alternative fact", MAHA, QAnom, pizza gate, election deniers, etc and cancel their shows, social profiles, and various platforms.
Almost every AM radio station should have been shut down long ago.
According to the above rule and also just generally.
The real conspiracy nuts broadcast on shortwave (even here in the US).
let this be a warning to the future who permit cults to exist rather than extinguishing
You can't use reason to extinguish a cult that was built on violence and anti-intellectualism
As the saying goes, you can't use logic and reason to get someone out of a position they didn't use those things to get into.
fuckin fair point. just need squashing though
How exactly do you extinguish a cult with reason and fact? They'll just ignore you or use your public debunk as a way to gain publicly with members of your audience that had never heard of them.
Cult deprogramming is an entire field of study
You can't use reason to extinguish a cult that was built on violence and anti-intellectualism
That's weird. Fascists and bullies always stop when you give up some of your rights to appease them!
“What does that mean when you say you’re not done yet?” Faber asked. “Then, I mean, will you only be pleased when none of these comedians have a show on broadcast television?” Carr replied, “No, it’s not any particular show or any particular person. It’s just we’re in the midst of a very disruptive moment right now, and I just, frankly, expect that we’re going to continue to see changes in the media ecosystem.” Asked by anchor Jim Cramer if the U.S. government should “have someone who reviews the writers before the host says something,” Carr said, “No.”
“This is a very, very serious issue right now for Disney. We can do this the easy way or the hard way,” Carr told right-wing commentator Benny Johnson that day. “These companies can find ways to take action on Kimmel, or there is going to be additional work for the FCC ahead.” “They have a license granted by us at the FCC, and that comes with it an obligation to operate in the public interest,” Carr said.
We are not going to control what these broadcasting companies do... but also they better do the correct thing or we are going to shut them down... this is disgusting...
Roseanne called a black man a monkey... Kimmel said the shooter was one of them and called trump a man child who cares more about a ballroom
they are not the same thing
Clearly. Roseanne said a sensible, non racist, non controversial, non obscene line unlike Kimmel.
/S because damn people be trippin today.
When does this party "legalize comedy" again? I thought they were all free speech absolutists?
Were they lying when they said that? /clutches pearls... Heavens to Betsy!
Free speech has returned guys!!! Comedy is legal again!!! You can say whatever you want as long as it aligns with the vision of the glorious leader!
Where's the dipshit that said this had nothing to do with the first Amendment yesterday? I have a few questions for them.
Spineless pricks. Stand up to fascism, don't bend over and let it bugger you
So fire all of the late show hosts and give young people yet another reason to not engage in that dying medium. Fat old pedophile rapist will still be mocked around the world.
He’s gonna be dead soon too. He looks like shit. Just you wait for those celebrations.
Of course the Nazis are not done yet. We have to all be yes men and women to the Orange Turd.
I figured as much, still too much criticism for Der Trumpler on American tv, for the fascists in charge.
Oh no! What will people do in 2025 without network TV?!
Anyone that says fascism is coming has not been outside in a while. It's here, and it looks like this. Fuck Dumpy and his cronies.
Yeah but I can still buy treats, so fascism must not be at 100% yet.
