The government literally just threatened the company if they didn't fire him. So they fired him. This wasn't some free market crap. But you don't care because it is "team Trump". Screw the country as long as team Trump wins.

They got rid of Kimmel because affiliate stations didn’t like what he said about Charlie Kirk’s killer and MAGA people. 32 stations stopped broadcasting his show, followed by 24 more. Jimmy’s mouth messed with Disney’s money so they shitcanned him.

Their influencers and it spreads over social media. Not unlike how two posters on this board will start the same thread based on an X tweet within minutes of each other.

Do you mean like trying to frame a President elect for a crime that was never committed or by silencing political foes from social media?

Has ABC/Disney said he's been fired? As far as I know that hasn't been officially stated. Right now he is on indefinite hiatus. Most likely they will wait a while, make him apologize, and then quietly put him back on air.

Secondly, this isn't about dissent. Jimmy went on the air and lied about the motivation of a murderer. That's not dissent, that's purposely slandering a large segment of the population.

Silencing dissent is forcing social media companies to shadow ban or outright ban users who question the government narrative over the efficacy of a vaccine or have them police a topic potentially harmful to a candidate (e.g. Hunter's laptop).

the government isn't shutting kimmel down the free market is

This is exactly what our lefty friends were telling us when Alex jones and others were being deplatformed from social media. They told us to make our own social media companies.

Some conservatives back then were calling for retribution while others fought back against that sentiment. The latter recognized that, while a free market issue, it still set a terrible precedent regardless of which side was ultimately affected by it. We all lose.

Well, now we are here.

You mean like dissent against Nazi propaganda? Maybe if someone would've silenced that shite or stood up against it before it spiraled, 6 million jews wouldn't have died.

Y'all tried this when Colbert got canned and it didn't stick because everyone with a brain knew it was bullshite. It's bullshite now to. When all you have is lies to prop up your ideology you really should suspect that ideology is flawed.

I don't think people like you are capable of that though, you're more like a parrot, repeating what you are told to believe. It's sad

Know when they didn’t try it?

When everyday people were being deplatformed for speaking their opinions (not lies) about Government actions and policies from 2020-2024.

That’s how you know that Tiger0918 and victoire and the Duke and VOR are full of shite. They don’t care about free speech. They care that they’re losing the culture war.

Full stop.

Whhhaaa!!!! We want the abaility to call anyone a Nazi and have them killed by our influence!! It's our Right!

That's their weakest attempt since shooting and killikg a white influencer. Even that didn't go well for them. Now they're scrambling because he turned out to be more than a white influencer and trying to calculate how many black kids they gotta kill to offset the backlash by next Summer.

Better off just protesting police and general violence.

Where were you guys from 2020-2024? Demanding that anyone who didn’t echo the covidian religion was fired, lost their medical licenses, etc.

How about when parents who argued with school boards were treated like domestic terrorists?

The weaponization of the IRS?

Imprisoning people post-1/5 without a trial?

This is exactly correct. They gloated, taunted and bragged on and on with glee when it was being done to conservatives during that time frame. Now they're getting a taste of it they're whining like little bitches.

I'm enjoying every second of it

I’m getting caught up on this FCC angle, and found the below article to be a good overview. Personally, I can’t support the FCC just going after media personalities they don’t like, but I will say that even the NYT struggles to make it sound THAT bad. Perhaps the view is that intentionally misleading the public as to which ideology may have been at fault for Kirk’s death isn’t in the “public interest,” but that’s a slippery slope.

No, don't stop. Keep going. Tell us what powers he abused and who he silenced. We really want to know.

Like Covid shot mandates in the military?

Perhaps that is also considered a purge by you goose-steppers.

Everyone has been wondering that since before the widespread adoption of email and was sent via fax machine during the Rush Limbaugh days.

My favorite was when he would run clips of Democrats and media members all saying the same catch phrase.
