No one has been more outraged than me.

I hate Kimmel with a fire hotter than the depths of hell.

His company is a private company and this firing is well within their rights.

The Government (fcc) threatening them, to make this happen, is an affront to free speech.

There, I said it.

perhaps there are guidelines and rules associated with a broadcast license that is outside of the scope of the 1st?

To get an FCC broadcast license, you must prove the license serves the "public interest, convenience, and necessity" by addressing local community needs in programming, and that you're a trustworthy, financially stable entity capable of operating the station. Requirements vary by the type of broadcast, but a general process includes identifying available broadcast allotments, preparing a detailed application (FCC Form 601) with technical specifications, coordinating frequencies, paying fees, and maintaining a public inspection file to show compliance with service obligations

Look at those definitions. A blind man can seen how general they are and left to interpretation of whoever is enforcing at the moment.

Be very clear here. I am not defending Kimmel or the left. But I am old enough to remember the political censoring of information during the centuries old COVID-19 debacle.

How quick we forget.

But even with a queasy stomach, I will still laugh about this one. I’m just not going to act like a two year-old and pretend I’m not being a hypocrite, like leftist and furry trans fuckers would do.

 
This one sits odd with me.

I’m for free speech. I’m for freedom of association also, so I’m for shunning people that I’m not compatible with. No govt involvement

I think Pam Bondi going on about hate speech is retarded. This is why the First exists.

The broadcast airwaves are a regulated utility (a monopoly)There are rules so freedom is regulated. This isn’t awesome, but the alternative is competing broadcasts fighting for signal strength, rendering the medium useless.

Edit: this is in regards to the FCC

As far as ABC etc. their company (shitty as it is) their rules. FAFO

it was disney's choice, not the fcc's.
in any case, if you have a broadcast license, you're not supposed to lie to the public (even though we know they do it all the time).


the scumbag is free to sue disney, just like gina did.

more lies. trump didn't fire him, although he did react to the news.
it wouldn't shock me if disney execs suspended the show just so their scumbag groomer friends could lie about it.

His show was already rating very poorly and they needed to ditch it anyway. This is a win-win for them as now the heat is all on the FCC.

This is true and he should never have said that in my opinion. While I am totally on board with the outcome, I feel we must not let ourselves be sucked into arbitrary government punishment of those that disagree with us.

A company has a right to not risk their business and all of them have clauses in their employment contracts discussing their expectations with respect to same. Thus, what you say under their auspices matters and can get you fired.

How quickly we could end up like Britain where any thing said that doesn’t meet the standards of their current government will get you time in the pokey.

I’m well aware that the 1st amendment applies to political speech and does not protect one from the consequences of one’s words/actions. This should just have been left to NexStar to take care of on their own.
 
Interesting timing:

“The decision (to suspend Kimmel’s show) by Nexstar comes as the broadcast station is seeking FCC approval for its $6.2 billion mega deal to acquire TEGNA, a deal that would make Nexstar by far the largest owner of local TV stations in the country.”

They need FCC approval to raise the market share cap above 40% in order to do this.

Coincidence? I sincerely doubt that.
 

Good idea Chucky. He'll get lots more gigs by suing ABC for wrongful termination, if that even is a possibility with his contract, which it probably isn't.

Would you hire an employee who was suing his former employer? Most people avoid legal shit as much as possible, and hiring someone who will sue even when they're in the wrong is retarded.

The FCC didn't take him off the air or fine them, the network itself is giving him a time out to save some face. The FCC goes after broadcasters all the time, awhile ago they had a huge bunch of fines because of nudity or something, other times it's swear words or advertising during certain hours whatever.

TBH I think the FCC should flex its muscles more often. Too much stupid ugly shit on the air these days.

They blame everyone but Kimmel and who ever wrote the bit.

All he would need to do is suck it up, realize he told a lie, acknowledge that. But that would require some tegritry.

Instead they are going off on TDS, Disney, ABC, the FCC etc... Zero accountability or personal responsibility.

Technically, if his show was surviving on USAID money, his speech was protected…

I’ll go hide now.

Actually, I had exactly the same thought.

Though it was only protected until the network decided that they had a perfectly good excuse to mix a show that was no longer being paid for by tax dollars.

Funny how all these late night losing shows are disappearing when the gravy train from the taxpayer stops.

Hitting USAID with the first bomb dropped was absolutely brilliant.
