Steaming mad because the silly false narrative the shooter was MAGA fell apart so fast. Difficult situ now, the hivemind will have to do the old Oh we are so beyond talking about Kirks assassination😅

Fake news has consequences as Kimmell found out. The View, Pakman, Stewart next please.

Just like your cult leader you look to silence anyone with a view that differs from your own. What a tragic direction of travel.

It wasnt a "different view" it was out and out misinformation. The very last thing the mentally disturbed irrational Trump hating masses need. They need bringing back to earth gently not puffed up with yet more stupid false narratives to increase their rage.

When will the dumbass Americans understand that Trump is going for a coup to become the new "Putin"???? Was America really so helpless that they could not defend themselves against a fat, pamper wearing toddler brained President??🙄🙄

Thanks for the meaningless word salad. You ok?

He also pointed out that local station owners have a lot of power over ABC, since those owners choose whether to carry ABC’s national programming. “It’s time for them to step up,” Carr said.

 

Two big station group owners, Nexstar and Sinclair *, came out publicly and criticized Kimmel after Carr’s interview garnered attention on social media sites. Both station groups told ABC they would preempt Kimmel’s show, which likely led the network to pull the show nationwide.

 

Crucially, both station groups also need the Trump administration’s blessing as they remake their businesses in the streaming age.

@marin chart was not about content within any party, it was about the approval rating of the idiot running the show in the US.

But yeah, if you can't offer a sensible response, then deflecting is all you can do.

I'd say it was down to Kimmel's lack of empathy, big mouth and being consistently unfunny, rather than interference by Trump.

Trump often tells the quiet part aloud with his favorite parable, “The Snake,” by Oscar Brown Jr.
The snake is rescued and saved, only to sink its fangs into the benefactor.
As she lies dying, she asks why.
It hisses: 'You knew damn well I was a snake before you took me in.'
 

Do you think Trump’s minions ever realized the Kool-Aid would never be an antidote?

Trump Threatens Licenses of TV Stations That Criticize Him

 

(Bloomberg) -- President Donald Trump said US broadcast networks should face scrutiny over their licenses if they’re too critical of him, in what amounts to his furthest-reaching threat to media freedoms.

“When you have a network and you have evening shows, and all they do is hit Trump,” Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One on Thursday. “I would think maybe their license should be taken away.”

Trump’s remarks represent a startling break with the nation’s long-standing traditions of freedom of speech and of the press enshrined in the US Constitution.

Trump's remarks are scary in the extreme.  He's literally telling America he will stifle anybody critical of him.  And, he's doing it, with Kimmel being just the latest example.

Sad when US enemies like Russia and China are enjoying the self inflicted destruction. It will take years for US to recover from Trump’s reckless incompetency and stupidity.

Yes, I agree with what you say above, except that I fear we (the USA) will never recover. 😞

Not since Trump's re-election. Every guest has been from the Democrats or left leaning.

 

And every Fox News guest has been from the Repugnicants or as right as the driven snow.

 

Anyway, how come all you rabid MAGAganistas have time to watch every show of every comedian you see as a lefty activist?

Well I got news for you Don, they are allowed to do that, and they happen to be allowed to do that for two centuries now. Just because you don't like it, just because you're thin skinned, just because you're a snowflake, just because you're weak and ridiculous, doesn't mean they're not allowed to do that.

 

At least up until now, since you have an FCC head in your pocket, I guess you're right. Criticism of you is no longer allowed, you have risen to royalty, you are now the king, and absolute fealty is now demanded of your subjects. At any cost. Who cares about democracy and democratic principles anyway? Not MAGA.

a) Fox does show different opinions and b) the shooter is a lefty trans/furry radicalised idiot. Not MAGA as Kimmel implied said. Amazing you can't admit this and what's more amazing is your total disregard for someone who has been assassinated. Disgraceful but you are a progressive lefty (or simply a troll) so no surprise.

Maybe Disney can compensate the viewers of Kimmel, all 8 of them, with some kind of furry animated series?

More to the point is why a so called comidian on network TV is blaming Trump and MAGA for the political assassination of Charlie Kirk when this is obviously BS.. Maybe it's time for you to stop getting all your "news" from CNN

If you're so horrified what are you actually doing about it? Other than living in another country while screaming about socialism.

Even if that were true, why then has Trump stated in reference ce to criticizing Himself, ‘they’re not allowed to do that’?

 

Are you on board with a President of the U.S. declaring criticism of him is not allowed?
