And private or publicly held companies have even more latitude for termination.

Democrats definitely are not small Government/free speech.

That was supposed to be a conservative stance. It is still a libertarian stance.

FCC getting involved with suppressing the 1st amendment isnt small gov no matter how you slice it.

Even the FCC chairman knew that 2 years ago.

Now after kimmel was pulled he is threatening to look into the view to see if he can get them removed also.

Even you cant pretend thats small gov

What exactly is the angle then, with FCC getting involved? Or making threats to get involved. However you want to phrase it.

Tell us their involvement, in detail, with the actual timeline. Were they also involved with Colbert too? And why are they letting the View keep on going?

It gives them the out to say the government is taking away his free speech. As if the left hasnt been doing that for years.

Its just a "hey look over here".

Obama was one of the most free speech removing president's of all time. He revoked press credentials as much as anyone and tried to minimize coverage of his wars.

Authoritans, the lot of them.

Mr. Carr, in an interview on a right-wing podcast on Wednesday, said that Mr. Kimmel’s remarks were part of a “concerted effort to lie to the American people,” and that the F.C.C. was “going to have remedies that we can look at.”

“Frankly, when you see stuff like this — I mean, we can do this the easy way or the hard way,” Mr. Carr told the podcast’s host, Benny Johnson. “These companies can find ways to change conduct and take action, frankly, on Kimmel, or there’s going to be additional work for the F.C.C. ahead”…


That was the same day the show was pulled.

Did the FCC take legal action? It doesn’t appear that way. The head did say that they were pursuing ways to do something. What exactly do you think he meant by “the hard way” or “the easy way”? Can that not be interpreted as him signaling to ABC to do something about it themselves or the FCC will take action?

This is all speculation, just like with Colbert. But I would rather the FCC head not do something like this…

And I would have rathered Trump not settle with 60 minutes lawsuit and see it through to show that they were in the wrong instead of taking the payoff.

This is how we got here. This is what you dont realize.

I do not support FCC involvement, but the game rules were set by Obama.

Havent seen any evidence of that. His contract was just not renewed.

This isnt about Jimmy Kimmel. He can go on the internet and do his own show like Tucker was forced to do. The only issue is FCC heavy handidly going after the stations for their programming.

Sounds an awful lot like Biden telling Ukraine to ditch the prosecutor, and I'm told there was absolutely nothing wrong with that.

The bottom line is what actually happened was Kimmel said something dumb, his employers have him a chance to salvage it, and he doubled down. He played the stupidest of games and won the prize. No gov necessary.
