    Negative. The FCC told Benny johnson that they had could do it, "the easy way or hard way" even before they knew what Jimmy's plans were for Wednesday. They wanted him out before.

    Why are you folks pretending that Trump didnt call for Jimmy's cancelation back in July. I know you cultists don't think Trump has any power but hes the POTUS

    I know what Carr told Benny Johnson, and I've been clear about that as a distinct issue here and in other threads.

    ABC's decision to suspend Kimmel's show is what canceled Kimmel's show. ABC canceled Kimmel's show--not the FCC.

    Kimmel reportedly was going to turn the volume up to 11 on Wednesday night, so that is when his employer pulled the plug on him.

    Not Carr. Not the FCC. ABC.

    in case you missed it:

    Inside Disney’s Abrupt Decision to Suspend Jimmy Kimmel’s Show
    The late-night host wanted to address the firestorm over his remarks about Charlie Kirk’s killing on Wednesday’s show. Company leaders worried it would make matters worse.

    You're asking a MAGA to reason with you with facts lol. Their entire ideology is to sane wash whatever Trump does/says. They have no core ideology or mind of their own

    Your time is your most valuable asset. CF is already a commitment, if you choose to waste it on someone that is $hitposting in bad faith it’s your loss is all.

    you have empirical data from years to go off of here, he doesn’t believe in anything other than his victim hood sob stories and smoothie of MAGA which includes white supremacy and immigrant libs bad

    he craves attention , don’t give it to him

    Wrong. Rolling stones nd CNN already confirmed the network yanked him after FCC threatened them. They did not want to lose their broadcasting license. Keep coping.

    ABC canceled Kimmel hours after the FCC threatened them. You can't escape facts

    It's not about politics it's about decency

    if you're allergic to the WSJ then you should try this:

    Disney Pulled Jimmy Kimmel as Pressure Built on Multiple Fronts
    The abrupt programming decision quickly morphed into a flashpoint for free speech in America under the Trump administration.

    you are assuming causation here when all you can really assert is correlation

    have you been to a comedy club recently? it's about jokes. Often shocking jokes. Kimmel is leading a late night comedy show. The moral/censoreship police hates comedy because it's a mouthpiece of truth & use words "decency" to shut it (truth) down.

    Joke is only funny if it's true - that's why MAGA loved comics are non-existent (in terms of popularity & recognition).

    It's not comedy when someone was just murdered. Regardless jumping on air with unfounded accusations is just stupid

    "Multiple execs felt that Kimmel had not actually said anything over the line, the two sources say, but the threat of Trump administration retaliation loomed."

    Comedy isnt whatever you think is funny or okay

    you said something about a "tail" on democrats' back that they can't see implying that they are stupid.
    you said that republicans are not making a sensible economic decision when I mentioned Trump's tax policy for the rich, implying that they are making an emotional decision.

    so i had to call you out on the unfairness of assessment of two political parties (one stupid, the other emotionally brave).

    and now you're saying that some republicans don't have any principles and the legacy of the free western world is not important to them when you say "some Americans are ready to ditch democracy for authoritarianism"

    Personally, I think those Americans should be called out and publicly ostracized. Do you happen to agree? Do you know any people like that? How do you tell them apart so as not to be an ******* & pile every republican into a category of America-haters.

    stupid joke? or indecent? get it straight, mr moral police.

    KImmel was joking about MAGA & maybe a little about the shooter. Not about the victim. People die every day. POTUS making fun of war heroes is ok, but my freedom of speech has to suffer over a partisan fund-raiser being killed & me not being sensitive about it?

    These folks had no issue with foxnews spreading election conspiracies for years which led to the largest defamation lawsuit in America history. They had no issue when foxnews claimed ANTIFA was behind January 6 even though we had numerous deaths in the riot.

    These people stand for nothing. No morals compass or core set of ideology. It's just a blind worship of a human they think is fighting for them.

    Its just so pathetic

    Was Kimmel joking about the shooter being a maga? It didn't seem so
