Who is next on the list?

 

First social media

The judges

The Governors 

The news channels 

Now the comedians 

Whos next on the list

 

And all the outcasts that doesnt fit in the conservative proud American community! 

 

Who said he did not follow a certain pattern to succeed? Many despots and dictators have done the same before him, and Putin is one remarkable KGB intelligence intelligent who Trump admires. 

 

Trump is out of control using everything he can and any tool to make sure he will succeed. 

 

Oh forgot CIA and FBI

Wow, never seen so many thumbs down on a single post.

So tell me gentleman why?

A whiny British commentator on US politics.

So JD Vance goes to Europe, heaps praise on Hungary's Orbán, then rails about the growing erosion of free speech elsewhere in Europe, particularly in the UK.

 

Meanwhile, back home in 'merica, they're already smashing it.

 

Oh...the irony.

Obama have something to say about the political landscape wise words. 

 

 

So I read breathless reports about how the Federal government has swept away the 1st Amendment. Now I have to find out what really happened AGAIN! Leftist and rightist radicals: can't you let me finish my first cup of coffee before you distort the story for your political gain?

 

Okay. FCC violated 1st Amendment... let's see if someone published the story that contains the reasons why the Fed got involved. I had to wade through mud slinging until a right leaning website listed what the FCC based their warning to ABC on. Here's the gist followed by the website address. 

 

"Kimmel straight-up lied to his audience, violating FCC regulations that prohibit news distortion or a hoax.

According to the regulations:  

The broadcast by a station of false information concerning a crime or catastrophe violates the FCC’s rules if:

 

The station licensee knew that the information was false;


Broadcasting the false information directly causes substantial public harm; and


It was foreseeable that broadcasting the false information would cause such harm."

 

https://thefederalist.com/2025/09/17/jimmy-kimmel-blatantly-broke-fcc-rules-and-brendan-carr-was-right-to-notice/

 

“The public interest means you can’t be running a narrow, partisan circus and still be meeting your public interest obligations,” Carr said. “It means you can’t be engaging in a pattern of news distortion.” He added that he could see Kimmel being suspended, but that barring a suspension, the FCC has “remedies.”

 

So that's the government info. Now what about the private corporate side of things? Nextstar and Sinclair, two big affiliates of ABC obviously to me made a business decision concerning the bottom line $.

 

Timing. Kimmel bloviated on Monday, September 15th. Was knowledge available that the assassin of Charlie Kirk was a leftist?

Yes.

 

Chat GPT 5...

What is the earliest news date saying Tyler Robinson was leftist?

 

The earliest published news article I found that explicitly says Tyler Robinson was “leftist” is from September 13, 2025, in The Hill: “Kirk murder suspect ‘deeply indoctrinated with leftist ideology,’ Cox says.” 

If you want, I can double-check for any earlier, less prominent sources to see if there's anything before that date.
Yes please.

 

Short answer: September 13, 2025 — that appears to be the earliest news reporting that Tyler Robinson was described as having a “leftist” / “leftist ideology” (reports that day — e.g. The Hill / New York Post — attribute the characterization to Utah Gov. Spencer Cox). 

What I checked and why:

Gov. Spencer Cox’s comment that the suspect “has leftist ideology” was picked up in mainstream outlets beginning Sept. 13–14, 2025; the earliest news items I can find using that phrasing are from Sept. 13, 2025. 

Major national outlets that followed up (Washington Post, Al Jazeera, PBS, Reuters, etc.) ran stories on Sept. 14–16 repeating/attributing the governor’s assessment. 


If you want, I can:

Pull the specific Sept. 13 headlines and links (The Hill / NYPost) and show the exact wording and timestamps.

Run searches of smaller/local outlets, social-media archives, or TV transcripts from Sept. 11–13 to be extra-sure nothing earlier used that exact phrasing. Which of those would you prefer?

No thank you.
 

So that's what I have so far. Waiting for the leftists to say the FCC is MAGA. Waiting to hear support for the FCC from the right claiming relief from one of many leftist propagandists. 

 

Darn it. My coffee's cold. AGAIN!

I'm OK, but the country formerly known as the US of A is not. It has a convicted criminal and a traitor as president, and with the tacit approval of the muppets that voted for him he's turning the country into a tinpot dictatorship.

If i we weren't allowed to speculate the whole bloody forum would be deleted.  

You couldnt have created a more perfectly statirical or ironic response if you tried, demanding the exact same thing i speculated ole Don is doing -- selelctively censoring anything that doesnt gibe with your own agneda. 

Consequences indeed!

 

and FYI it would be freedom FROM consequences, there ol' buckaroo

 

Kimmel has a boss at the network he willingly works for. A decision was made to suspend him. 

 

Consequences for his speech which  he freely made. 

The show needs to make money. 

 

Kimmel was likely told repeatably to tone it down, and he did not. He may have thought they needed him more than he needed him. He was wrong. Probably the same with Colbert. 

 

Shows have to be popular to make money. Does anyone truly believe his brand of "humor" is appealing to a large majority of Americans?

What's even worse is the idiot Kimmel was reading word for word from a teleprompter and doing exactly what he's told.

 

Obviously written by some soft handed soy boi's for him to read each night as was the case with Colbert , all gone now that the LGBT anti Trump saga is no longer relevant.

You’re mixing up three things.
 

FCC vs. First Amendment
The FCC doesn’t police late-night monologues. Its “news distortion” rule covers staged or knowingly false news—not comedy. No FCC case exists; if ABC acts, that’s corporate, not government.

Burden of proof
If you claim “FCC rules were broken,” show an actual enforcement action—not a partisan blog paraphrasing regs.

Kimmel’s point
He called out the MAGA spin-before-facts reflex. That critique stands whether later the suspect was left, right, or Martian.

Bottom line
No FCC case, no lie—just Kimmel catching MAGA in mid-spin.

Or it could just be that he was over paid, his show was hemorrhaging money, and its viewership was plummeting.

 

I'm betting it was just a good reason to get rid of him.

Trump’s anti-media blitz that led to Kimmel’s suspension is straight from the Viktor Orbán playbook | CNN Business

 

Weaponize the levers of government for partisan political gain. Pressure privately owned media companies to toe the party line. Punish the owners who resist and reward the ones who acquiesce.

That’s how Hungarian prime minister Viktor Orbán consolidated control of the media in his country, according to scholars who witnessed Hungary’s democratic backsliding firsthand.

President Trump and his allies appear to be running the same playbook against media outlets in the US.

Using legal maneuvers, financial incentives and public pressure campaigns, Trump is persuading companies to make changes that benefit his party and bolster his own power. Wednesday’s decision by Disney’s ABC to sideline Jimmy Kimmel is the latest example.

Free speech groups like the ACLU warned that the Kimmel suspension is part of a broad Trump-led effort to silence his critics.

“This is beyond McCarthyism. Trump officials are repeatedly abusing their power to stop ideas they don’t like, deciding who can speak, write, and even joke,” the ACLU said. “The Trump administration’s actions, paired with ABC’s capitulation, represent a grave threat to our First Amendment freedoms.”

I find them very funny.

Certainly not all political content either.

If he were very funny, why would you not have watched a whole show? I have seen some funny clips, but I saw more that I thought were stupid. Applause, not laugher. Warch an hour, get a chuckle or two. 

 

And again, he makes a ton of dough, the show loses money, and (I think) viewership is off more than 50% YOY. 

 

People apparently do not think attacking half the country every night is as funny as it used to be. 

I'm not worried about Kimmel as I assume he is well banked for the duration.

But I am worried about Guillermo.

Thanks for clarifying about FCC news distortion. Now I have to see why Carr said what he said. Odd he would say anything without solid background.

 

During the show's opening monologue, Kimmel said: "We hit some new lows over the weekend, with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as •anything other than one of them• and doing everything they can to score political points from it." In his monologue Kimmel both implies AND infers that Kirk's assassin was in the" MAGA gang". This is the root of the controversy. I'm 100% 1st Amendment. Kimmel has a right to say but what he said wasn't a joke to so many people. Easily interpreted as a statement reflecting a true story. Not surprised by the response of the MAGA gang.

 

Regarding the Time article, it's superceded by new info that shows the reason, the motivation of the assassin. 

 

Twiggs: Why?
Robinson: Why did I do it?
Twiggs: Yeah.
Robinson: I had enough of his hatred.

https://www.newsweek.com/tyler-robinson-roommate-lance-twiggs-charlie-kirk-texts-2130798

 

If you look at the timing you'll find plenty of "their side did it" from leftists and rightists.

https://www.newsweek.com/charlie-kirk-murder-tyler-robinson-maga-liberals-2129055

 

Did Kimmel lie? The only way I see that he couldn't have lied is if he never read, saw or heard any news reports that the assassin was leftist and not of the MAGA gang.

 

Thank you for your post. Thanks for the FCC info. I'm glad you gave me that info. Rational discussion. Gotta love it.

These quotes are attributed directly to Kirk from his podcast and public appearances:

  • “Happening all the time in urban America, prowling Blacks go around for fun to go target white people, that’s a fact.”The Charlie Kirk Show, May 19, 2023

  • “If I see a Black pilot, I’m going to be like, boy, I hope he’s qualified.” — January 23, 2024

  • “If I’m dealing with somebody in customer service who’s a moronic Black woman, I wonder is she there because of her excellence, or is she there because of affirmative action?” — January 3, 2024

  • “You had to go steal a white person’s slot to go be taken somewhat seriously.” — Referring to prominent Black women in politics, July 13, 2023

These remarks reflect a pattern of racial stereotyping and derogatory assumptions, particularly targeting Black Americans and women.

Those remarks actually reflect the stupidity of stupid people selectively quoting just parts of what he said while carefully omitting the rest of the remark to ensure the actual contexct cannot be seen,

A right-leaning workmate suggests Kimmel's ratings have been tanking for a while and well before his "assassination".

 

What say the left-leaning?

 

Or more relevant, what do the national television ratings say?
