Again, why would I complain about those things on an ENTERTAINMENT message board? Otherwise, like I just said, for the third time now, you have no ****ing idea what I did or didn't "stay silent" about. Nice whataboutisms, though.

Because I read this board from time to time and you are very prominent on this board. I know it is a stretch but Rosanne Barr is considered by some as entertainment. Not what abouting just mentioning other examples of occurrences that might meet your definition of fascism (the most mis/overused term/phrase besides racist and end of Democracy). Maybe you keep having to repeat yourself because, I don't know, maybe you are overreacting and quite possibly wrong (clutch my pearls).
Lol... and Trump trolls the lefties.
He's not revoking licenses for channels that mock him. I can't believe you people still hear these things and believe them. I'm sure he was surrounded by lefty journalists who were probably peppering him with baiting and stupid questions, so he responded like that just to troll them.
It's not happening. If it did, the FCC would get sued and would lose in the courts.

Never thought id see the day that so many Aggies would be defending a racist butthole like Jimmy Kimmel. Dude put on literal black face and all the white people over here defending him. Kellen mond was right.

Totally normal, nothing to see here.
Even though what Trump is suggesting is literal fascism, we can't call him a fascist because that apparently leads directly to impressionable college dip****s assassinating people. We can only grin and bear it from here on out!
Literal fascism?
Like shooting someone in the neck whose views you want to silence?
Not a single person here has defended Kimmel himself, but apparently that level of nuance is too advanced for you.
What's your point? The assassination was evil and abhorrent and a national tragedy. But it doesn't away from the overreach of the FCC/Trump using the opportunity to start making threats. Both things can be bad.
One is a threat.
One is an action.
Understand now?
One is an action.
Understand now?
Okay? I nor anyone else have said that threats are worse than actions in this context. Again, both are bad, while the latter is obviously worse. Either way, it changes nothing about the current discussion.
Kimmel and Colbert getting sheet canned is quite literally THE BEST news of 2025 so far. Maybe they can now replace both of them with people who are politically neutral and actually funny. However, that's really tough to find these days. No much real talent left in Hollywood.
Go woke, go broke!
Go woke, go broke!
Trump’s FCC Chair Brendan Carr indicates that Jimmy Kimmel’s suspension is part of Project 2025’s plan to regulate free speech.

Just found out I lost my job. I was the guy at Jimmy Kimmel Live who made sure the monologue didn’t have any jokes in it.

Ha, seriously. 448 replies in just over 24 hours is insane. Once a handful of people start accusing me again of working with Harvey Weinstein to traffic children, we'll know we're there.
You, Hollywood, and Democrats are more pissed at someone being fired over speech than someone being killed over speech.
Jimmy gets to wake up in the morning in one of his many houses, hug and kiss his kids and wife, go party and hang with all the rich libs, and breath fresh air for years to come.
Jimmy is your martyr. To you Charlie is just nothing. Got it.

Yet again more reductive, blatant, bull**** projection.
Here's what I said about Kirk's murder on this very page: "The assassination was evil and abhorrent and a national tragedy." Otherwise, for the thousandth time, this is an ENTERTAINMENT message board. Where/When, exactly, was I supposed to give an emotional soliloquy about Kirk being killed over free speech? Should I have randomly started a Kirk thread here, out of the blue, squeezed between Batman and Seinfeld threads? Otherwise, this is a thread about JIMMY KIMMEL, an ENTERTAINMENT figure, and the FCC.
I was with my (very conservative) family last week in Chicago, for the Notre Dame game, when news broke, Kirk died, the manhunt was underway, etc, and I was just as angry/sad/disappointed as they were. It was the main topic of conversation for three days and was a HORRIBLE thing - FAR worse than the Kimmel situation - that has only served to divide this country further. But because I didn't express any of that on an ENTERTAINMENT message board, you have the gall to accuse me of being "more pissed" about Kimmel? Give me a break. Don't ****ing start down that road and tell me what I am or am not feeling. And ESPECIALLY don't put words in my mouth, accusing me of thinking that Kirk was "nothing." Because that's you doing the exact same thing y'all are so mad at Kimmel for: LYING.
I don't even watch Kimmel and have had nothing but negative things to say about him in this thread. You would know that if you actually paid attention instead of projecting this "martyr" nonsense onto me.
Get help, dude.

I agree with you completely that the Government shouldn't go after people or organizations based solely on speech.
Is that was is happening here though? ABC is federally regulated by the FCC license. If they violated part of that, is it wrong for the FCC to tell the broadcast company to correct the situation or face consequences of your actions?
This isn't the first time Jimmy Kimmel has said mean things about Trump, but this is the first time I've seen it reported that the FCC threatened them.
I'm not going to do whataboutism or try to do gotcha questions.
I agree with you that what you are saying happened is wrong, I just disagree with you about what actually happened.

"Humor is legal again!"
"No not those kind of jokes!"
If I had the time, I'd create more accounts just to star this post.
I will no longer discuss politics with you. I reject your premises and world view. I am finished trying to compromise with you.
Can you use your one account to go to Google.com and research whether or not jokes calling for violence or destruction of property/vandalism have ever been legal?

What a ridiculous straw man. This is the Entertainment board. We're talking about Kimmel and the assault on free speech because it is relevant to entertainment. That has absolutely nothing to do with our thoughts about Kirk and his murder or their relative weight.

Depends on time, place, and intent.
Free Speech
Funny part about Kimmel. It was never "free" speech for him. He got paid a lot to say certain things. That's called directed speech for money. Nothing free about it.
Second, he is a hack that should have been taken off the air a long time ago. Look up the video of him on the man show being a pervert to a woman looking through a telescope.
Yeah, this guy should been canned a long time ago.

Are you new here? There's a ton of past posts that have already addressed this. The issue is the government putting its weight on the scales to silence people and speech it doesn't approve of for no legitimate purpose other than exercising power and control.
So what, I'm not getting into the politics of it. Both sides abuse their power. And who knows if what's being reported is ever true. ABC might just be deflecting to justify firing a guy they should have fired a long time ago.
I just like highlighting that Kimmel is a hack and it should be posted over and over.

"Both sides" don't use the FCC to litigate political speech they disagree with. One side does that.
Jon Stewart had a great response last night.
But again
It was never "free speech"
They were using money to control speech.
And I have no problem with controlling speech that promotes violence. It's gone way past political speech.

You're right, your side used the IRS and Lois Lerner instead. You had us debanked under Biden too. You're much more sinister.
We've just taken a bad comic nobody watches anymore. The horror! The horror!
Clean up your own house if you want sympathy.
Correct, the Biden white house didn't even pretend to go through a legal process to silence opinions they didn't agree with. What Trump is doing is more akin to what Obama did via the IRS. I'm sure everyone on this thread was adamantly opposed to that as well.
