Charlie Kirk Shot

[bbgun]

"State actors"?

 

[Smitty]

He told a straight up lie. He’s either a complete retard or a horrific liar.

Both.

 

[Bipo]

Don’t be surprised when, under a (D) administration, a different sort of talk show host starts getting pulled from the air. Very slippery slope some of you guys are sliding down happily.

So President Trump fired him? I'm confused.

You not see where the FCC was threatening ABC. Oh, and conveniently, Nextar looking for a big merger.

Very few of you guys can think above your hardened political views to see government pressure was applied to remove Kimmel from TV.

 

[Chocolate Lab]

Well the Nexstar move was before that.

I guess Trump got all those teachers and other people fired also?

Facts kind of get in the way there.

 

[Bipo]

The Nextstar merger has not been approved yet.

And just do a little research outside of your political cocoon and you will see the extraordinary comments (threats) the FCC commissioner made to any ABC affiliate that dared to still air Kimmel.

Oh I did and I noticed the articles of Nexstar happening an hour before the FCC stuff.

No, but when ABC says that they taking him off air over his remarks on Charlie Kirk most are just going to take it on face value. Because that's a perfectly reasonable explanation for doing it. His remarks went beyond just bad taste and timing. And as an employer when an employee does something insanely dumb and potentially damaging to a company, firing them is really the only recourse.

But I know, this was your same stance when Colbert was fired. Merger, FCC and Trump fired him. At least in that situation Colbert didn't do something fucked up (That I'm aware of) right before his show was canceled.

 

[bbgun]

depraved, even for him, but it's not as if he has a job he can be fired from

Id be perfectly fine if ABC had disciplined their employee for whatever, but when it happens after the FCC comish starts leveling threats, it should concern everyone.

 

[Chocolate Lab]

Yikes...

It's actually sad that people are this full of hate. You'd think CK was a grand wizard of the Klan or something.

 

[bbgun]

Normies: You don't have to mourn Charlie Kirk, just don't be crazy.
Left: No.

How concerned were you when Biden's people were pressuring social media to censor people about Covid "misinformation?"

Or when Lois Lerner's IRS was going after conservatives?

 

[bbgun]

The FCC guy (another less than stellar Trump hire) should have kept his nose out of it, but the ABC affiliates were already fleeing Kimmel. This was unsustainable from Disney's perspective.

This I agree with, I'm not sure the FCC should be making public statements about this shit at all.

I'm uncomfortable with the constant pressure to fire everyone, but, this is also the world that the Left wanted, so they have to live in it.

Agreed.
