You're like a dumber version of pride busting out screenshots. No one fricking cares dude.

Come on, baw. Please explain the satire in the statement that got him in trouble. It wasn't some setup for a joke that he later did. It was just Kimmel going off on Trump supporters.

Not sure if you are aware, but Kirk said this when he was alive. I'm not saying he would want it pulled personally, but i think most in this country, and his family might see it in bad taste. It would be perceived as insulting someone who has recently been assassinated after the fact. In other words, it's in bad taste.
I'm sure Kirk would be fine with it, but it's really up to his family at this point.

It was part of an entire bit about how maga reacted to it. He even threw in the funny clip of trump directly after it.
Trying to take one sentence out of a comedy bit and say the 1st amendment doesnt protect that 1 line out of the show would never pass scrutiny.

You’re too stupid to realize you proved my point. Now your buddies are smearing the murals Iryna Zarutska so you have something else to cheer on if trolling the Kirk situation gets boring

All of his friends/coworkers that have mentioned it have said he would want it left up since his passing.

From the guy that doesnt even understand that late night comedy shows are protected under the 1st amendment it's a good sign if you think im wrong.

Again, explain how what he said was any set up to a joke or what is satirical. After he said what got him in trouble, he immediately uses a segue by saying
quote:
in between the fingerpointing
i.e. "In other news"...So yeah. There's no joke there. It's just Kimmel bitching about Trump supporters.
The bit that immediately followed the segue was about Trump "grieving" which has nothing to do with what he was saying before that. There's no callback. Nothing. If he hadn't said the first part at all before the segue, it wouldn't have made any difference on everything else he said. See for yourself.

1st amendment doesn't apply to your employer. You can say whatever you want, but you're employer is also free to fire you from making those statements.
Also, i keep hearing this "but FCC did it". Have you any proof other than the FCC chair said he was glad America's broadcast companies were restoring decency to the public airwaves? Of course he agrees with it but i have yet to see any proof that it was the threat of the FCC that made them pull Kimmel.
This is Nexstar, the largest provider of media in the country.

“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.”

The Company’s portfolio of digital assets, including its local TV station websites, The Hill and NewsNationNow.com, are collectively a Top 10 U.S. digital news and information property. For more information, please visit nexstar.tv.
It owns the hill and newsnation. These aren't leftist companies, they are very conservative. I would think the owner of conservative media would not need an excuse to not air Kimmel. Same goes with Sinclair and their demands for an apology. Neither sound like they needed the FCC to act. They did it on their own.
What you are regurgitating is talking points from the left. That is all. Not facts.

Except that when he met with execs he made them aware he planned to double down on his take. They described it was "very hot" and didnt want him to make things worse.
Doesnt sound like a bit to me.

I get what they are saying. I'm telling you how it will come off. Now if it's just Cartman imitating Kirk's of debate, then i think that's fine. If they are using Kirk to insult him, i think this will come off exactly like i said it would. In very poor taste.

He said more than that.
Appearing on Benny Johnson’s podcast on Wednesday, Carr suggested that the FCC has “remedies we can look at.”
“We can do this the easy way or the hard way,” Carr said. “These companies can find ways to change conduct and take action, frankly, on Kimmel or there’s going to be additional work for the FCC ahead.”

"Can". Again, where is the direction from the FCC to these companies. If these companies didn't want to pull Kimmel, why demand Kimmel make an apology? Why not speak out? Why didn't ABC/Disney, a very liberal company, not use their pulpit to damage the FCC? They are in a lawsuit with DeSantis right now, you think they would hesitate to not blame the FCC? Even now, they haven't blamed the FCC. Explain this.

If they did wanna pull him, why not just do that instead of asking him to make an apology?
