Of course, I also don’t really see much complaining about the people that got fired and actually said disgusting sh1t. Where do you work btw? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Real timschochet 7,125 Posted 12 hours ago 1 hour ago, nobody said: ABC has every right to cancel him over what he said if they so choose. What I don't like is the FCC applying pressure to get him cancelled over BS. These represent my exact thoughts. During the McCarthy era, the problem wasn’t with Hollywood studios deciding on their own to have a blacklist against Communists- they were private companies and that was their right and in fact it was good business. The problem was the FBI was involved putting pressure on the studios to fire certain people. That’s why it was wrong. Government shouldn’t be playing a part in this stuff. When it does freedom of speech really IS threatened. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gepetto 1,420 Posted 12 hours ago The FCC, or Federal Communications Commission, is an independent agency of the U.S. government that regulates interstate and international communications by radio, television, wire, satellite, and cable. Its primary role is to manage the electromagnetic spectrum and enforce rules for communications services, ensuring they are available to all Americans. The agency also addresses issues like broadcast indecency, text message marketing, and accessibility to emergency information. The two largest station groups, Nexstar and Sinclair, wielded their influence over ABC‘s decision to pull Jimmy Kimmel‘s show from its ABC stations. Their announcements on Wednesday come amid the furor over host’s comments about the suspect in Charlie Kirk’s assassination, with the chairman of the FCC, Brendan Carr, threatening some kind of FCC action.

squistion 2,371 Posted 11 hours ago Quote Do you think if Kimmel was making a nice profit instead of losing money he would have been canned? No verfied reports his show was losing money. AI Overview There's no public information or reliable reporting suggesting the Jimmy Kimmel Live! show was losing money; in fact, Kimmel himself stated the opposite when addressing reports about The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, asserting that the idea of late-night shows losing money was often nonsensical and overlooked affiliate fees. While networks have faced financial pressures, the success of late-night television is complex and extends beyond just advertising revenue to include affiliate fees and syndication value, making it unlikely Jimmy Kimmel Live! was a net loss.
