I've noticed whenever conservatives or Republicans get riled up about something it's always "fake outrage". Whenever the cultural Marxists start shooting people, burning cities, or destroying culture they're "on the right side of history".
when you have the media on your side, you can get away with just about anything. Maher last night on his show admitted that the New York Times is a Democrat propaganda tool
that premise was once unthinkable, we are talking about the old Gray lady here. But maher threw it out there very matter-of-fact and said “so what, that’s their prerogative to be a democrat propaganda tool what are you gonna do about it”
amazing.

Bill Maher talks in that clip about getting his job at HBO decades ago after and because of a controversy involving Maher?
I didn't hear any of that, but I'm not not very good at listening to Bill Maher.

Just scroll through HBO Max, I can’t believe anyone would even argue against this. …. But then again these people are just shamelessly dishonest.
I didn't argue against it, but I did ask for an example. You could just provide one. A single example. I'm sure several exist.
I was scrolling HBO max last night. Watches an episode of Peacemaker. I was not bombarded by images of celebrities mired in recent controversy.

Every article about this says they were already talking to Kimmel about how to mitigate the damage from this. Every single one. Your timeline is simply wrong. You are wrong.
Coincidentally the FCC Chair gives his remarks and a couple of hours later they decide they can't let Kimmel on for Wednesday.
If you think their decision to pull him had nothing to do with the FCC threat then you're dreaming.

Do you even know what he said? It wasn't a demand of any sort. He simply said either ABC will handle it or the FCC will have to open an investigation, which is completely appropriate given what was said by Kimmel. There was no "threat."

He doesn’t, he just knows to repeat talking points and narratives handed down by his propo masters.

It's ridiculous. I know the left is used to defending the indefensible, but this past week they've been making complete jokes of themselves.

And if you think it had nothing to do with Disney getting tired of him pissing half the country off and in this case after a fricking assassination then you are lying.

Sinclair Says Kimmel Suspension is Not Enough, Calls on FCC and ABC to Take Additional Action
09.17.2025
Sinclair’s ABC stations to air a special in remembrance of Charlie Kirk during Jimmy Kimmel Live timeslot on Friday
BALTIMORE – Sinclair, the nation’s largest ABC affiliate group, objects to recent comments made by Mr. Kimmel concerning the assassination of Charlie Kirk.
As discussed with ABC earlier today, Sinclair decided to indefinitely preempt “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” beginning tonight. Following these discussions, ABC has suspended production of “Jimmy Kimmel Live!”
“Mr. Kimmel’s remarks were inappropriate and deeply insensitive at a critical moment for our country,” said Vice Chairman Jason Smith. “We believe broadcasters have a responsibility to educate and elevate respectful, constructive dialogue in our communities. We appreciate FCC Chairman Carr’s remarks today and this incident highlights the critical need for the FCC to take immediate regulatory action to address control held over local broadcasters by the big national networks.”
Sinclair’s ABC stations will air a special in remembrance of Charlie Kirk this Friday, during Jimmy Kimmel Live’s timeslot. The special will also air across all Sinclair stations this weekend. In addition, Sinclair is offering the special to all ABC affiliates across the country.
Sinclair will not lift the suspension of “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” on our stations until formal discussions are held with ABC regarding the network’s commitment to professionalism and accountability.
Sinclair also calls upon Mr. Kimmel to issue a direct apology to the Kirk family. Furthermore, we ask Mr. Kimmel to make a meaningful personal donation to the Kirk Family and Turning Point USA.
Regardless of ABC’s plans for the future of the program, Sinclair intends not to return “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” to our air until we are confident that appropriate steps have been taken to uphold the standards expected of a national broadcast platform.

Nexstar ABC Affiliates To Preempt “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” Indefinitely Beginning Tonight
September 17, 2025 Company Objects to Talk Show Host’s Comments on Killing of Charlie Kirk
IRVING, TX (Sept. 17, 2025)—Nexstar Media Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: NXST), today announced that the company’s owned and partner television stations affiliated with the ABC Television Network will preempt “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” for the foreseeable future beginning with tonight’s show. Nexstar strongly objects to recent comments made by Mr. Kimmel concerning the killing of Charlie Kirk and will replace the show with other programming in its ABC-affiliated markets.
“Mr. Kimmel’s comments about the death of Mr. Kirk are offensive and insensitive at a critical time in our national political discourse, and we do not believe they reflect the spectrum of opinions, views, or values of the local communities in which we are located,” said Andrew Alford, President of Nexstar’s broadcasting division.
“Continuing to give Mr. Kimmel a broadcast platform in the communities we serve is simply not in the public interest at the current time, and we have made the difficult decision to preempt his show in an effort to let cooler heads prevail as we move toward the resumption of respectful, constructive dialogue.”

Obviously Variety must have a huge conservative bias due to not focusing article on it being Trump and the FCC that removed Kimmel and then hiding their role in approving any negotiations between the Disney and Kimmel…
Don’t let those obvious jabs in the article at policies of Trump and at MAGA fool you. Variety is just hiding their MAGA…

Jimmy Kimmel and Disney are working toward reaching a compromise that would allow “Jimmy Kimmel Live” to return to ABC.
The veteran host’s business and legal representatives are deep in discussions with Disney and ABC leaders in the hopes of finding a path to a compromise that would allow for the return of “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” according to three people with knowledge of the situation.
quote:
The host has made no public comment since the show was abruptly pulled from its regular 11:35 p.m. slot on Sept. 17, with Disney saying only that the program would be off of its schedule “indefinitely” after one of the biggest owners of TV stations in the U.S., Nexstar, said it intended to pre-empt airings of the program following remarks the host made in relation to Trump and the slaying of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. Sinclair, another large station owner, said it too was taking Kimmel off of its stations…
…There is no guarantee Kimmel and Disney will come to terms on agreement to return to the airwaves, these people cautioned. Nor is it clear where Kimmel’s mindset stands on what he would and would not accept from ABC as conditions of taking the stage again for “Jimmy Kimmel Live.”
quote:
It’s understood that ABC and Disney brass had been flagging concerns to Kimmel for some time about the sharpness of his critiques of President Donald Trump…
… As the controversy swirled, Disney executives felt they had no choice but to bump Kimmel in order to let the MAGA media-fueled controversy subside.

There has been no government involvement in Jimmy's getting fired, it's nothing more than speculation from the whataboutism crowd.

People keep talking about articles they haven't read. Anyone brought up the billion+ dollar mergers these two companies need the FCC to approve? I'm sure their very public positions, released after the FCC made its position clear, are entirely coincidental.

You got me on Maher. I didn't notice the right key words skimming through that 7 minute video. I don't know his story, and I wasn't going to watch 7 minutes of him talking.
Your hbo max algorithm is way screwed up if he's all your seeing while scrolling through the app.

If you’re telling me you don’t see a ton of left wing shows and docs on HBO Max you’re just not being honest. If you think I care that you admit or not you’re wrong.
