Never saw anyone argue abc/nexstar/sinclair didn't have the right to drop him, only that the FCC/Government didn't have the right to revoke their license if they didnt drop him, because of this pesky little thing called the 1st amendment.

Did you change your profile pic on facebook to Jimmy as well?

Odd, I didn't realize we have a constitutional right to be on broadcast television. Kimmel isn't being jailed, he's not being fined, there is no abridgement of his right to say whatever he wants, he just no longer gets to say it on ABC.

Moreso, conservatives sued the Biden administration over what your side is accusing the Trump administration of doing, The Supreme Court rules 6-3 that it's fine for the government to lean on private entities to get them to censor speech. I'm not sorry the rules your side created and imposed on my side are now being used against you. Cry more. LINK

Now, if you want to have a discussion on the FCC in general that's fine but just remember that it was created in 1933 by the socialist FDR.

Everyone should support the constitution, even if our "leaders" do not.

Hilarious that you would think otherwise.

The FCC chair went on the Benny Johnson podcast and said it.... Its not a secret.

The abrupt decision by the network, which is owned by the Walt Disney Company, came hours after the chairman of the Federal Communications Commission, Brendan Carr, assailed Mr. Kimmel and suggested that his regulatory agency might take action against ABC because of remarks the host made on his Monday telecast. The network did not explain its decision, but the sequence of events on Wednesday amounted to an extraordinary exertion of political pressure on a major broadcast network by the Trump administration…

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”…

Shortly after Mr. Carr’s remarks, Nexstar, an owner of ABC affiliate stations around the country, said that it would pre-empt Mr. Kimmel’s program “for the foreseeable future” because of the host’s remarks. Nexstar recently announced that it planned to acquire a rival company in a $6.2 billion deal, which will be scrutinized by the F.C.C. In a social media post on Wednesday, Mr. Carr expressed approval for Nexstar’s decision to pre-empt Mr. Kimmel, thanking the company “for doing the right thing.” He added: “I hope that other broadcasters follow Nexstar’s lead.”

The facebook case was already dropped by the Supreme Court. They said there wasnt evidence to support the moderation efforts facebook claims they took were tied to communications from the government.

Also, the first amendment doesnt apply to Facebook.... Yet

If they are going to pick someone to fight for and use as a martyr, it should be someone that is good at their job

JK's ratings were already in the tank. He as bad at his job and deserved to be fired for that alone
