Except, this time, Disney wasn't counting on a mass exodus of

has it he's already talking to attorneys.

the more radical news they report, the more money comes in.
i hate to say this but i think our media should be regulated.
The facts are:
1. Kimmel broke FCC rules.
2. The ratings for Kimmel's show is tanking and has been
for some time now.
3. The LOCAL AFFILIATES dropped Kimmel's show because of

Disney, who's finances are hurting because of THEIR
Wokeness, probably wanted to difuse this mess as quickly
as possible.
Guessing: since Kimmel broke FCC rules, Disney probably
has some good legal ground break the contract.

absolutely are not. and then he does a whatabout argument about trump.
i don't give a fuck about trump. i do give a fuck about people in the media that are affecting our culture and causing political
assassinations and other acts of domestic terrorism. i've had enough
of trans liberals killing kids and going on rampages.

to me it looks like kimmel is a loss, so i'm not sure why they let him continue on. i dont care though. i was a kimmel viewer since day one
but i had to stop watching that show when it became a one man 'the
view'.
he's dishing out stuff that most people want so i'm not sure how he can continue on making shows.

Apparently you certainly don't care about accuracy, as you stopped your quoting right before where he called Trump a d!ck, which was the potentially offensive bit I called him out for. If I google "Kimmel dictator dick," the first article that comes up is from the Guardian.
Their quote, unlike yours, includes that part.
He also insinuated that the kid might be MAGA -- that MAGA needed to desparately distance themselves from -- which turned out not to be the case. Claiming that didn't really make sense.

All violence and hate is an enemy. I have no issues with someone
pointing out that this includes leftist violence as, guess what, that exists but a lot of people like to ignore it. In this particular case,
a kid hated Kirk because of his right-wing views and acted on it. In
this case, and a few other recent ones, leftist violence and hate had everything to do with it.
We *do* need to get away from the necessity to label stuff "right" or "left" as a lot of what is developing defies political definition.
IMHO, it would be better defined as apolitical -- and sociopathic.

yeah that sounds decent. it sounds 'fair'. too bad we don't live in a fair world. it would be great to have a totally unbiased 'news' source, too.

You need to get some education. The FCC does, in fact, regulate content and always has.

With Massie in particular, they might find some common ground re: the Epstein list.

i don't know where you get your information, but the fcc DOES regulate content on various aspects of programming. it's a very complicated agency. they dont make laws, but their regulations and rules make it
seem like they are.
But this is also Woke Disney and the Woke will never accept their
failures and always double down on them.

Which has nothing to do with Charlie Kirk.
I don't find Kimmel offensive so much as I find him a crass, stupid
person that apparently some equally crass, stupid people find
"clever." I only know about what he did because there are people
here, and on social media, who keep track of him. The latter group
seems made up mostly of people who who look to him as a "thought
is he really telling jokes or just manipulating people?
I'd like to know what trump really did to kimmel. they must have met in person and trump must have got his goat and kimmel has been working so hard all these years to get his confidence or sense of face back.
If people think kimmel is funny or entertaining i think the only reasoning is they just want to hear bad things about trump all the time.
There's seriously some type of new mental illness where it's political
belief derangement. Furthermore most of these people do not understand how politics work or how the different branches of our govt operate.
I suppose the republicans are woke and supporting cancel culture now
that it fits their goals.
I think it is more simple than that. Kimmel said some things Trump
did not like and then Trump started talking about him all the time,
so Kimmel knows he has Trump's attention. I also suspect that Kimmel
does a lot of it in hopes of drawing more (left) eyes to his show...
he could use the ratings boost.
There seem to be a lot of my more left-leaning friends who can tell
me all about what Trump has said or done today than most of the
rabid MAGAs I know. By the same token, the rabid MAGAs kept track
of Biden's doings a lot more than any one else did, and I suspect
it was the "future MAGAs" who were always telling us what Obama
was up to.
It has been going on for a while but continues to get worse.
I suppose the republicans are woke and supporting cancel culture

It had to happen.
I mean, at some point you realize all the magazines in the
Submission Grinder are going to sabotage your submissions if your
persona does not fall within their aproved political model. You are
going to realize you cannot take part in online communities
because some politicla view you expressed elsewhere does not suit
some head honcho within that community.
So yeah at some point you are going to fight back because you are
going to realize you will be a gonner if you don't show you have
teeth.
It sucks, but you invented this shit. Now, own it.

with biden it was obvious that he was president autopen.
He was a sick old man and he was not fit to be president.
Everyone
with a brain knows it. i dont think with biden there was the type of derangement that you see with trump.
i always referred to biden's office as an example of elderly abuse.
they let him go out there and embarass himself when in the past he was

My whole point was that language is something your station/network can
get in trouble with the FCC for. So you have someone that decided that bringing up a touchy subject... a death no less... and trying to use it
to get laughs (or whatever Kimmel thought it would do) which generates
a bunch of phone calls and negative press.
He also worked in... same show, different recent show, doesn't
matter... what many would consider an obscenity, which could be an FCC liability and, since his ratings are not good, he has given you your
out.
I am not a Kirk fan but I am also not stupid enough to try to work his recent death into any conversation where I plan to cast said death, or those who were fans of Kirk, into any negative light unless I was
looking to get fired. What kind of moron does do that?
