Jimmy Kimmel pulled from the air over false comment about Kirk murder

[SomeStupidName]

Nobody does anything without Trump's approval...nobody. If they do and it backfires, they are fired.

It flows from the top down with Trump and he only hires sycophant bootlickers who do his bidding. Why do I have to state this truth to any of you here?

That's a false statement. I know you want that to be true but there are many examples of Trump appointees not just blindly following orders from Trump and deciding against him.

In fact you and your friends are always the first to point it out.

Well, from now on, I'm sticking to the main topic because it devolves into a deflection frenzy and it's hard to keep track of all the subjective outrage of everything and anything, other than Trump's rhetoric and actions against the people.

Yes.

That's why I like page 1 appearing first so I can see the OP, get a feel for which direction the thread will most likely go, and the thread title, so as to keep on topic (or see if the thread title changed over the course of time).

We all do, just trying to reel it back in if possible.

If Kimmel believed what he said how was that spreading misinformation?

Because what he said was dead wrong.
Therefore it is spreading misinformation.
Doesn't matter if someone believes it or not.
The fact is what he said was dead wrong and he spread it.

(he'd also have to be a complete moron to believe what he said)

False statement.
Disney doesn't take orders from Donald Trump.

Well, I see something different than you see. So here we are.

Trump accidently posts text to Pam Bondi to go after his political foes, comedians, and news media that makes his ego hurt. This is what your President's priority is, not bringing down food and gas prices or stopping wars.

My postings, in what I feel is evidence of Trump's revenge on those he feels are against him and who hurt his ego, I am beginning to feel as being futile with certain members here because his propaganda has been 'baked into your minds' and poke it with a fork because it's done, and I'm done poking it with a fork.

I am looking at the backlash of the FCC's actions, which I believe was done for Trump's benefit, from all sides and if that doesn't give you a clue what side of the coin the people are on, then, again, this discussion is a futile endeavour.

Good.  Glad to hear it.   The endless stream of left wing propaganda from a foreigner trying to influence Americans about our own country is tiresome.   Maybe you'll find a hobby more suited to your situation in life.   Good luck with that.

I said just the members with 'baked in propaganda', so thank goodness there are only a few here that fit that unfortunate state of being.

As is everyone's right here to free speech and expression, following T&C of course, I will continue to opine and speculate and theorize and provide empirical evidence to my stances, the same as everyone else does, well except you and a few others here who can't seem to find evidence to back up their stances.

To be fair, he has an “entertainment” show.

Personally, I think a late night show idea is just outdated for society. I’ve never watched them, and I don’t find any of the current ones the least bit entertaining.

But if we’re being honest, out news landscape has been shifting from opinion less fact based reporting, to commentary and punditry. Even if you turn on the “news”, you’re getting opinions from people that have very little substantial fact. It’s more speculation and kind of a looking glass into the societal conversation.

The news says stuff that is dead wrong regularly. And while I don’t find Kimmel funny, nor was that joke funny, I don’t get to decide what is comedy, nor should the government.

I won’t die on a hill for Kimmel, because frankly I don’t care about him, never will. But I do find it odd this is the instance the FCC decided to take the gloves off. Seems like a weird case to risk overstepping for such an insignificant segment of broadcast, that isn’t even news.
