Lying about the crime? Gtfo. Fox News, the President, and his government spokespeople just made up a narrative about the shooter before anyone was even found. How would that not be “lying about a crime”? Just making up whatever you want the truth to be.

Why is Sinclair in a position to demand a donation or an apology from Kimmel?

So where are the concentration camps????

Is the concentration camp stuff all that you were taught about the Nazis?

Yes. I swear, MAGA has zero knowledge of anything that happens in the 10
years prior. None.

+1 It’s like they were all born on golden escalator day. OT for this thread but Kash Patel didn’t know about the Charleston church shooting FFS.

And why are comedians held to a higher standards than “news anchors”? I use quotes because when sued, Fox said they’re entertainment, not news. Which was surprisingly honest, actually.

Yes it should be noted that Kimmel had no basis in fact for his assertions. I can't figure out why he stated such a significant lie. My guess is he intuited that Kirk's murder is a watershed event in American politics. I don't think the left yet fully understands the consequences of making this guy a martyr. Kimmel somehow felt compelled to take a delusional position in response.,

I am disturbed at the notion of the FCC controlling speech. I think posters have a right to be concerned. Schumer indicated lawsuits should issue. But who is going to sue? The two biggest distributors of Kimmel's content are calling for the FCC to take further action. And ABC just wants to let this go. They will see no upside to defending Kimmel. Ratings and revenue matter no matter the ideology. Remember the Dan Rather incident? Heck Rather was doing what the network wanted. But the big money network could get a former AG to write a memo to justify canning Rather.

And yesterday an ABC reporter was describing a message Robinson sent to his lover confessing to murder and arguably obstructing justice as touching.. it wasn't touching - the perp was being evil and manipulative. With capital murder in the air, the trans kid was and is scared to death. He is cooperating - a significant fact. This is a reminder for all reporters to be aware of confirmation bias. It happens across the political spectrum but as the above poster noted more scrutiny is applied to public broadcasters. ABC desperately wants to move past these issues.

We need to boycott. I have a Disney subscription. It's getting canceled tonight!

Oh no, here come the boycotts, protests, & other group-tantrums that occur whenever the Democrats don’t get their way.

Money is power. You’re either a sucker or a foreign troll encouraging apathy.

What % of this thread do you think is MAGA?

If we can fire people for lying. Fire the president.

Here you can see that in his first term, Trump lied over 30,000 times.

But stupid MAGA goes after comedians.

You guys really think the first amendment guarantees the right to have a bad TV show?

I don't support anything the FCC ever does other than run spectrum auctions.

Also, late night TV is finished. The writing's been on the wall for years. Kimmel needs to go, and the rest of them are on borrowed time.
