so if that zany, wacky, crazy left wing conspiracy is confirmed to have any validity, and the FCC threatened/pressured any of the parties involved, you'd admit this is government overreach and not at all comparable to the Tucker situation, correct?

What do you think the "anything other than MAGA" part means, exactly?

In that statement it means the maga gang wasnt blaming one of their own for the shooting....

Even if it doesn’t it still worked as intended and I give Disney a ton of credit.

They cut a huge financial burden, and they got their political base fired up to the point they are already calling for “more fascists to be dealt with”.

Evil geniuses. The useful idiots will be back to violence tomorrow.

Every credible report says it wasn’t the FCC and it was ABC affiliates threatening to cut ties. Again, that’s financial pressure. Same way Fox decided Tucker wasn’t worth the risk after Dominion. End of story.

don’t let me interrupt those zany whacky kooky nutty far left-wing conspiracy theories tho.

Ohhhhh like who? And could the ABC affiliates have been pressured themselves? Did any of them have anything to gain from doing this?

I notice you left out some pretty important wording that Kimmel used. "anything other than" Those words have meaning, and you most certainly left them out because they completely change the meaning of the sentence. You know exactly what you're doing, quit being a bitch and just admit it.

You cant be serious. It's still referring to the the maga gangs behavior.

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

quote:

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.

What do you think?

A good article from the notoriously liberal rag The New York Post that I’m sure you’ll ignore since you’re in deliberately obtuse “disingenuous” mode this afternoon.

Yes, the article lays out why affiliates may have had a sensitive ear to Carr because of Nexstar merger. But it doesn’t cite ABC or the FCC actually saying ‘Fire Kimmel.’ It’s telecom insiders speculating.

If that’s the smoking gun that we’re gonna need then I doubt it’s gonna happen, right? Reading between the lines is likely the best we’ll get.

It is my opinion that there was some pretty strong influence/pressure, and I know you disagree, so we can just leave it at that because I am tired of squinting at my phone. Have a good afternoon, Klark.

Not my breakdown. Its a grammar bot designed to break down sentences. You can try to twist it if you want, but it is literally what Kimmel's statement means.

no worries. I gotta get back to work myself.

One way or another, in this day and age, we will likely find out at some point.

"User Corinthians420 is desperately trying to characterize himself as anything other than a child molester."

According to you, the above sentence is just a simple statement of fact and in no way denigrates user Corinthians420. People with a brain, however, understand exactly what was implied by it.
