You can try to hide behind this, in fact, let's assume it to be true. Doubt I'll ever change your mind on it anyway. Even if it is true, that doesn't change the fact Trump's FCC head went on TV and threatened them with regulatory action over it.
If you want to go on YouTube or Facebook or Partisan Lines or whatever UNLICENSED platform and say whatever political thought that may enter your mind? Well have at it….. network television is licensed and that license is an agreement for acceptable content. I’m sure that acceptable content will be argued among trial lawyers for years. But the bottom line is that the network has to answer to shareholders and if the content ain’t making money, someone has to answer to those shareholders….. Sniveling and troublemaking just ain’t cool anymore….. I have said it before. The tide ALWAYS changes. Just ask Jimmy Carter.
Disney caved to the far-Left protesters who wanted Kimmel back. So, he will be back Tuesday night. Let’s hope he learned his lesson and will know better than to just randomly spew his vile venom whenever he feels like it.
Yeah it does seem a mighty minor retribution for such a demonstrably incorrect statement that was about as far from comedy as fire is from ice. I’m sure a high paid lawyer found some loophole in his contract…. But I would bet a donut to a bucket of mud that Kimmel the comedian will show up for work tomorrow and Kimmel the flamethrower will be long gone….. Contract expires in January anyway. He won’t be back after that unless he figures out how to raise ratings.
You can bet your bottom dollar he’s already planning the most vicious departure anyone’s ever seen for his final airing . . . Turd.
Well, now here's a new wrinkle in this otherwise worthless and boring story about Jimmy Kimmel: Sinclair Broadcast Group announced Monday that it would preempt ABC’s "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" when it returns Tuesday night. "Beginning Tuesday night, Sinclair will be preempting ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’ across our ABC affiliate stations and replacing it with news programming. Discussions with ABC are ongoing as we evaluate the show’s potential return," the company’s statement read. Sinclair, which operates 30 ABC affiliates, previously joined Nexstar, another owner of ABC affiliates, in preempting Kimmel’s show last week after he made controversial comments regarding Charlie Kirk’s alleged assassin.
Bit strange finding yourself allied with Sinclair innit? As a reminder they're responsible for this gem:
Not really. I’m sure they’ll probably cave in a day or two once violent Lefties begin to harangue them, also. It’s just a good feeling seeing that liberals in the media are getting a taste of their just desserts instead of being treated like Oracles of Delphi like they once were by the salivating Lefties. Personally, I don’t give even one single rat’s ass about Jimmy Kimmel or the other Trump-hating venom-spewers. All of them were put in their place last November when America dodged the walking, talking word salad that was Kamaltoe Harris. Liberals thought they had finally defeated Donald Trump, but all they did was witness the rebirth of American exceptionalism which, I believe, will last for a generation or more. People like Jimmy Kimmel and Stephen Colbert can barely accept it. It eats them up inside. So, whether they’re on TV or sitting in their cry rooms, it’s a pleasure knowing they are devastated.
I'm somehow more optimistic we're instead witnessing the death throes of a failed facist movement, desperately attempting to assert itself, trying to make it illegal not to like them because it's full of sad people who don't understand why they've never really had friends. It's rocky, it's chaotic, but it's not going to last.
Please stop doing this. The meaning of the word has somehow become so diluted in recent years that it is nothing more than a personal insult. You are fat. You are stupid. You are ugly. You are a fascist. It’s truly childish. It is also a personal insult to men like my father in law who carried a true fascists mortar shrapnel in his back until the day he died. Only thing is that we are seeing over and over the troubled among us are using exactly this insult to justify murder. For crying out loud Kirk’s killer inscribed what he believed to be anti-fascist messages on his cartridges. Please….. Just stop. You are too educated to be this imbecilic.
I don't mean it childishly, I mean it definitionally. https://www.keene.edu/academics/cch...aracteristics-and-appeal-of-fascism/download/ Check out this "Characteristics of Fascism" list 1. Powerful, often exclusionary, populist nationalism centered on cult of a redemptive, “infallible” leader who never admits mistakes. Check 2. Political power derived from questioning reality, endorsing myth and rage, and promoting lies. Check 3. Fixation with perceived national decline, humiliation, or victimhood. Check 4. White Replacement “Theory” used to show that democratic ideals of freedom and equality are a threat. Oppose any initiatives or institutions that are racially, ethnically, or religiously harmonious. Check 5. Disdain for human rights while seeking purity and cleansing for those they define as part of the nation. Check 6. Identification of “enemies”/scapegoats as a unifying cause. Imprison and/or murder opposition and minority group leaders. Check 7. Supremacy of the military and embrace of paramilitarism in an uneasy, but effective collaboration with traditional elites. Fascists arm people and justify and glorify violence as “redemptive”. Check 8. Rampant sexism. Super check 9. Control of mass media and undermining “truth”. Oh he's trying 10. Obsession with national security, crime and punishment, and fostering a sense of the nation under attack. Check 11. Religion and government are intertwined. Check 12. Corporate power is protected and labor power is suppressed. Check 13. Disdain for intellectuals and the arts not aligned with the fascist narrative. Check 14. Rampant cronyism and corruption. Loyalty to the leader is paramount and often more important than competence. Check 15. Fraudulent elections and creation of a one-party state. Not yet 16. Often seeking to expand territory through armed conflict. Not yet, thank goodness for his short attention span (see, Greenland)
See, this is why I don’t believe any of the bullshit you spew. Kamaltoe called Trump a “communist dictator” yesterday. So, he can’t be a fascist and a communist at the same time. You can’t even get your talking points aligned with the leaders of the Democrat Party. Jeez, listening to you and your ilk speak makes my head spin. Oh… and for the record, he’s neither a fascist nor a communist. Thank God.
Today, Nexstar announced that it is standing by its word to pre-empt Kimmel. So, I guess we’re back to square one. Millions and millions and millions of people won’t hear his jabbering tonight. What a shame.
The sad fact is… If George Washington were POTUS today the left would spew the same filth. And do you know why? You fear true leadership! Every point you allude to is a trait of a strong and effective leader. The leaders you choose show all the efficacy and strength of an entrance mat. The only thing Trump is remotely guilty of is having a big ego and a big mouth. That does not define a fascist….. All the blood being spilled is coming at the hands of brainwashed, disturbed left loonies. And you are participating in the brainwashing!! Just since yesterday I have heard AOC, Omar, Newsome, Harris, CNN and you all spew the same garbage. I only have one question. What’s it feel like to have blood on your hands?
Okay, based on that alone I'm not convinced you read the list. I mean, to paraphrase point #1, leader is infallible and can't admit mistakes. I don't think of a "strong" leader as never being able to admit they were wrong.
Oh no... I did read the list. Quite simply, true leaders lead. You can paint their qualities into whatever prearranged box you like. Let's just take these for example: 10. Obsession with national security, crime and punishment, and fostering a sense of the nation under attack.Check The VAST majority of this country has been under attack from empowered criminals allowed here the previous four years. Not sure how much of that news truly reaches you. Three years ago I moved my mother out of the neighborhood she raised me in due to the crime rampant by imported criminals. My granddaughter was raped by illegal aliens. The store I used to ride my bike to as a kid now has a Mexican grocery sign out front........ There was no "fostering of a sense of crime". The empowered criminals were running the show. You have to get store employees to open cases to buy toothpaste for crying out loud. Hoorah to POTUS Trump for taking this one by the horns. 6. Identification of “enemies”/scapegoats as a unifying cause. Imprison and/or murder opposition and minority group leaders. Check Just begs the question..... Why was this not an issue three years ago? 1. Powerful, often exclusionary, populist nationalism centered on cult of a redemptive, “infallible” leader who never admits mistakes. Check Just a little word of age gained wisdom for you. I have made it my lifetime goal of studying truly successful people. In every case their one defining trait is that to a fault they will not accept defeat nor will they admit defeat. Right or wrong, that is the case. From successful football coaches to successful industry leaders. Call it an overinflated ego or whatever you like. It does not define one as a fascist. Gene, I could go on point by point but it is an exercise in futility. Strength of character has long been missing from the Oval Office. Defining that as fascism fuels troubled minds. It is a falsehood and it really has to stop.
I simply refuse to equate authoritarian impulses with good leadership, so we may be at an impasse. I see you have a lot of strong feelings and experience here, and I do appreciate the input. If we're to get anywhere though, you have to define it yourself. What exactly does being a "fascist" entail to you?
lol, he just casually tweets out that there were indeed backend communications regarding Kimmel's suspension with the White House Immediately proceeds to throw a tantrum and threaten a legal shakedown... Is it tough to have to look up to such a moron? All of you are definitely smarter than him.
