Pretty much. I just hope this isnt the beginning of the next stage of government where the FCC starts pressuring networks to remove shows they don't like. Dystopia might disappear as a genre as it comes closer to reality

Who told you this? It certainly isnt in the monologue

It's literally the first thing he said in the video you linked.

This is all true, but he's also very clearly a stupid person. All he had to do was apologize, and he gets his show back. How stupid do you have to be to let that slip through your fingers?

None of that says the shooter is maga.

The only definitive thing you can gleam from that is maga is saying that he isnt one of them.

This is a level of mental gymnastics/semantics that is almost hard to even believe, yet there it is.

If you remove the part you are mad about the sentence doesnt make sense

"With the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything and doing everything they can to score political points from it."

It simply clarifies they are blaming everyone but themselves.

He’s a liar and a hypocrite as shown in this thread. It’s very hard to have discussions with someone who’s always going to lie and never discuss in good faith. The poster who melts about too many posters injecting culture war stuff into the board has flooded it with that very thing for over a week now. This is what you’re dealing with, a very low person.

"If you remove the part that says exactly what everyone is claiming he said, it means something different."

Yeah this is just sad at this point. I hope he's lying about what he's saying, because it would be way worse if he truly believes that.

This is someone who’s argued that if you don’t provide him with visual, molecular level proof of something happening you can’t prove it happened. Of course the standards for his nonsense are completely different but this is how he operates.

Hes describing the actions of others. He never says that the shooter was maga. If you think he suggested it that's fine, but he didnt state it as a fact.

Here's a full breakdown just for you courtesy of engnovate

Let's break down the sentence into simpler components:

1. **The Maga gang**: This refers to a group of people who support former President Donald Trump. "Maga" stands for "Make America Great Again," which was a slogan used during Trump's campaign.

2. **is desperately trying**: This means they are doing everything they can and are very eager or worried about succeeding.

3. **to characterize this kid**: "To characterize" means to describe or define someone. "This kid" refers to a young person who is involved in the situation.

4. **who murdered Charlie Kirk**: This part explains that the kid is accused of killing someone named Charlie Kirk.

5. **as anything other than one of them**: The Maga gang wants to describe the kid in a way that separates him from their group. They don’t want to be associated with him.

6. **and doing everything they can**: They are making every effort.

7. **to score political points from it**: This means they want to benefit politically or gain advantages, often at the expense of another’s situation.

Putting it all together, the sentence means that the group who supports Trump is very eager to define a young person who killed Charlie Kirk in a way that doesn’t include them, all while trying to gain political benefits from the situation.

Sinclair can cut the show if it wants, but sending a demand letter like this is exactly what so many ppl on the right railed against the left doing.

It's not a good look. It's petty. Just cut the show and be done with it. ABC was probably going to cancel the show once Kimmel contract was up anyway. Late night is a massive loss leader now.

He’s already been disprove grammatically. Someone broke down the vernacular and meaning in another thread to prove him wrong so he just jumped in this one to start the lie all over again. He’s a propagandist period,

Actually the FCC showing it still has teeth is a good thing. Now there’s nuance to what their limits are on something like this but they’ve been assent for far too long and should be more focused on news outlets than Jimmy Kimmel. It looks like a stunt to me, going after low fruit like this but they’ve stuck their neck out now and people need to hold them accountable for the more important stuff happening with news.

OK. Everyone else in the thread, Disney, Sinclair Broadcasting, Nexstar, advertisers, etc, all interpret Jimmy Kimmel's words exactly the same, but you're right. Let's go with that.
