Well.....Bye Jimmy Kimmel
- Thread starter Maser
- Start date
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?
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.
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.
Both Bondie's and Trump's words were inartful at best. They have to be more careful, because even though Bondi clarified her remarks, the sound clip has become the left's "truth", and that's what will be played over and over.
