He's right
@tinman

 

Dusty slay
Brian regan
The 3 blue collar comedy tour guys
Nate Bargatze (i guess)
Sebastian monascalco
That one chick lol
Joe rogan
Theo Von
Shane gillis

I dunno

 

This is all about trump being a bully and ABC bending the knee because of $$$$$$$$................any why tramp and company keep saying they will pull their license when in fact ABC or any others do not hold the license, the individual stations do which are then owned by large Companies acting like an Oligarch.

I don't care if Kimmel is not funny, his ratings suck and blah, blah, blah...............the FCC Chair over stepped and ABC panicked because they have to go before the FCC for their merger

And for those like Scott Jennings who say the most moronic things like, "they can't just go on TV and lie" is a hoot when all fox does is lie, the gop lies EVERYDAY on TV. Kimmel is a comic and entertainer, it's called satire folks and it's been done forever...............maga is such a victim, ya`ll are a bunch of snowflake p*****s

 

Norm mcdonald is the prefered comedian of right wingers. Hes the GOAT

 

Rob Schneider is pretty conservative

 

Where did you hear that only the left admires John Brown?

 

From a side of the right that thinks the civil war had nothing to do with slavery.

I think those two and Nate are the funniest guys in comedy right now.

 

this pretty much hits the nail on the head

Why ABC and CBS Cave to Trump’s Threats
He isn’t more powerful. He meets little resistance because network news and talk are dying businesses.
By Holman W. Jenkins, Jr.
Sept. 19, 2025 4:15 pm ET

The hue and cry of the national media in recent hours has been right about one thing. Brendan Carr of the Federal Communications Commission has been misusing his authority in ways shocking to post-Nixon, post-LBJ sensibilities. In the latest case, he threatened the over-the-air licenses of ABC affiliates unless the network took action against late-night host Jimmy Kimmel for a stupid remark about the Charlie Kirk killing, which parent company Disney obediently did Wednesday, putting Mr. Kimmel’s show on indefinite hiatus.

The furor is wildly overstated when it claims an iron curtain of Trump censorship is descending on American media. If CBS and ABC, two networks that have lately bowed to the president, gave half a hoot, they would easily have prevailed on First Amendment grounds if they put up a fight.

That is, if they prized their network TV businesses sufficiently as businesses, as opportunities to display stewardship, or even as instruments of influence. But they don’t.

Their network news and late-night talk shows are money-losing artifacts of an industry model their parent companies have no intention of investing in or taking risks for. President Trump understands this. He turns it into easy wins. That many CBS and ABC employees don’t is perhaps illustrative of the real problem. The decline of these businesses is the unspoken difference versus those censorship struggles of the past, such as the Pentagon papers, about which Hollywood movies are made.

On Wednesday night, with Mr. Kimmel suspended, and CBS earlier this year putting Stephen Colbert on a path to cancellation, Mr. Trump tweeted that “Fake News NBC” should go next, axing its own late-night hosts, Jimmy Fallon and Seth Myers. He may actually have bought these dimming NBC stars an extended lease on life from parent Comcast. Mr. Colbert had the highest ratings of the bunch and was still losing $40 million a year for CBS. How much must the others be losing for their respective parents?

The sad truth is, the Trump FCC this week gave Mr. Kimmel a taste of relevance he hasn’t known in 20 years.

CBS News in July crawled on bent forelegs to settle a meritless Trump lawsuit. Mr. Colbert received his cancellation notice around the same time. The Trump-appointed Mr. Carr, you may remember, laid on regulatory pressure toward these ends too, which cleared the way for CBS parent Paramount to be acquired by the Trump-friendly tech mogul Larry Ellison and his budding studio mogul son, David.

The latest burble has Messrs. Ellison likely bidding for the larger Warner Bros. Discovery entertainment complex. If so, they may have an ace in hand against other bidders. Time is money, perhaps a lot of money in the fast-changing streaming wars. Trump regulators can either torture a proposed deal for years or supply an expressway to regulatory approval for buyers who meet the president’s favor.

A Paramount-Warner deal would likely suit Mr. Trump. It would join CBS News and Warner’s CNN in congenial hands in time for next year’s midterms, critical if Mr. Trump wants to avoid Democratic impeachment over actions like, say, abusing his authority to get TV comedians kicked off the air.

The elder Ellison, his son’s key backer and the world’s second richest man, has been a Trump donor and supporter. More to the point, the Ellisons wouldn’t be buying Warner for its linear TV news and entertainment brands and properties, which they’d view as disposable. They’re after its studio, big-ticket franchises and HBO, businesses with a future.

Look elsewhere this week, at the painstaking investigation of RealClear’s Paul Sperry on the frivolous way the New York Times and Washington Post went about reporting the Russia collusion matter in the first Trump administration. It’s the same story. These news businesses don’t respect themselves enough anymore even to correct their false reporting. It falls to an outsider. As for the historically important documents being released by the Trump administration that tell the true story about how their reporters were peddled false leaks and fabricated evidence by national security officials to undermine a president those officials didn’t approve, forget it. They’d rather write about Sydney Sweeney.

Mr. Trump will be out of the White House in 1,218 days and these mainstream news companies will still be around, if propped up by a billionaire donor in Jeff Bezos or by online product reviews and cooking tips.

But there’s no buttering over their declining importance in how Americans get their news or form their attitudes. Mr. Trump hasn’t got powers of intimidation other presidents didn’t have. He just meets less resistance. Why have CBS-Paramount and ABC-Disney bent over for complaints of no legal or moral authority? Because their network news and late-night TV businesses are of so little value to these companies and their shareholders.
