You're correct... I paraphrased and quoted him. My bad. The point remains, Kimmel lied. Kimmel said: “We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang trying to characterize this kid who killed Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it.” A couple of things... 1) When has a far leftist ever say say "MAGA" and NOT refer to that person being a Trump supporter? 2) When saying "trying to characterize... anything other than one of them", isn't that saying this kid "IS a Trump supporter? The answers to those questions (in order), is: Never and Yes. So, my paraphrase was correct, I just shouldn't have quoted it. Again, my bad. So... again.... he lied, on purpose, about news related topics concerning a crime.

You're saying it's wrong? Or are you saying it's a stupid reason why everything happened?

During his monologue, he said that "...the shooter was a pro-Trump Republican". It was already reported earlier that this was not the case. According to FCC guidelines, that's a big no-no. From that pdf: "The FCC prohibits broadcasting false information about a crime or a catastrophe if the broadcaster knows the information is false and will cause substantial “public harm” if aired." Meaning, he lied on air, about a news topic. He did it on purpose. It was intentional. Also in link: "Broadcasting false content during news programming The FCC is prohibited by law from engaging in censorship or infringing on First Amendment rights of the press. It is, however, illegal for broadcasters to intentionally distort the news, and the FCC may act on complaints if there is documented evidence of such behavior from persons with direct personal knowledge." The FCC only brought this to the attention of Sinclair/ABC/Disney... they're the ones who took action, not the FCC.

After actually looking into it, Trump (even though he didn't actually do anything... it was the FCC), didn't do anything wrong. Kimmel broke the law. The FCC told Sinclair/ABC/Disney, and the companies suspended him. That's not censorship.

Kimmel broke the law. Even with free speech, you can't break the law.

Troll, more accurately. Everyone knows Kimmel was lying. He only said that because he lied initially, on purpose, on air, and broke the law. He had to make the fake apology because he done focked up. Gutterboy is just trolling because even he knows Kimmel didn't actually mean anything he said.

Troll.

Duh, it's wrong when both sides do it... it's just only wrong for both sides AFTER an accusation that a Republican does it... oh, and only the Republican is a fascist.

It's probably because of climate change.

Yup. He was one of my favorites.

I'd say Judge.

Triggered!

I don't think he'll care. He'll probably say something, because that's what he does. It's what all people in DC do.

So the government didn't get him fired? There's no problem then.

Kimmel has a union who could fight for him. Kimmel has an employer who could fight for him. Neither chose to do so. Private citizens have no such advocate. Also, social media platforms can alter their terms of service whenever they want and enact them retroactively, at their own discretion. Kimmel was fired because he sucked and his employer is using the government as a scapegoat. Kimmel should be ticked off, first and foremost at his union FIRST, then his former employer second. Then himself... then, if he has any more dbagery left in him, he can blame Trump.

Careful, you're running a risk of our quick trigger leftists coming here to call you racist.

You're right on both accounts.

You'd think people who are never making jokes just to be funny, would have a sense of having self awareness when calling someone else out. Clearly not the case here.

Only watching YouTube, it looked backwards to me. At best, straight across. Didn't look forward at all.

Well, I'm certainly not going to vote for him again.

Thus proving they wanted an excuse for getting him out and they got one.

LOL, look at you being stupid again.

Exactly.

If the FCC enacted on their threat, they'd be in court the next day and lose. Kimmel was fired because he sucked and this was a way out and make the government look like the bad guy.
