    This all has to do with corporation consolidation and corporations will do anything to get approval for mergers.

    Disgusting

    It depends on if thats who's putting the pressure on them, I recall you had no problem finding concern in twitter in the past.

    Where are all the sanctimonious outrages on cancel culture now???

    Oh yeah that’s right. You only have the balls to whine about cancel culture when there’s not an autocrat in the White House. Now all these so called free speech absolutists are shrinking like cowards.

    Where is the outrage from Bill Maher and Dave Chappell now??

    The FTC under Trump is only approving media mergers that capitulate to his whelm hence why CBS hired bari weiss at the admin demand.

    Pathetic

    They never gave a **** about cancel culture. They wanted it done their way

    I read the quote. Makes no sense. The thing that matters is the MAGA FCC chair threatened ABC and they coward like beat dogs. Kimmel could have said the two words “Harley Wirk” and MAGA would have cried that the honor of their fallen martyr was being desecrated.

    What a bunch of pu$$ies.

    I thought Elon Musk declared "Comedy is legal again"

    Looking at Kimmel, Colbert, I'm guessing there's been a change of plans?

    Pretty milquetoast for what’s been said by TV personalities over the past week regarding this killing. But Mr. Robinson was in the end a Nihilist.

    Jimmy Kimmel, during his opening monologue for Monday night's show, had suggested that Tyler Robinson, the man accused of killing Kirk, was aligned with President Donald Trump's MAGA — Make America Great Again — movement.

    "The MAGA Gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it," Kimmel said.

    "In between the finger-pointing, there was grieving," he added.

    “The MAGA Gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it,” Kimmel said.

    “In between the finger-pointing, there was grieving,” he added.

    Not offensive in the least - merely *True*

    Then FCC chair took a **** on the first amendment and went full mob boss on a known Russian agent's podcast

    Hours earlier, FCC Chair Brendan Carr told conservative podcaster Benny Johnson that Kimmel’s comments were “truly sick,” and that there was a “strong case” for action against ABC and Disney,

    “This is a very, very serious issue right now for Disney. We can do this the easy way or the hard way,” Carr said. “These companies can find ways to take action on Kimmel or there is going to be additional work for the FCC ahead.”

    Folks - this is a fascist regime through and through.

    One way for Republicans to avoid being called criminal and fascists is for regular people or famous people to stop saying it

    Another, better, way is for them to stop being fascists and committing crimes

    BTW - not saying it is right, but this is what causes people to get pissed off and use their weapons.

    Thanks DD. Now we are all getting visits from the alphabet boys.

    ClutchFans was a hive of villainous leftists and conservative sympathizers pretending to be fans of the sports team the Rockets which everyone knows is only supported by the CCP.
