We all saw the video of the FCC chairman threatening ABC’s broadcast license. Do you not grasp that in the American system of government the various executive agencies and their appointed heads fall under the direct command of the executive? No, of course you do. You’re just playing games rather than acknowledging- as many conservatives have in response to this - that the current occupant of the WH is an existential threat to the most bedrock of our civil rights, the one which enshrines all the rest.
Ten examples right here. But you lefties were cheering censorship back then.
Did the government demand their firing? I repeat - did the government threaten to shut down their business if they did not fire these people?
And in case you did not hear me - did the government demand that they be fired?
Until you can answer that, you need to stop posting. You just look stupider with each successive regurgitation. It’s why 90% of America thinks MAGA rides the short bus.
Yes Biden did

It’s just a few conglomerates - Disney, Warner, Fox, Sinclair - that control everything now. And they are all kowtowing to Trump and Republicans because the finance people need their deals to go through to get their bonuses.
The next administration needs to break up Disney and Fox and Warner. And Sinclair with their dominance over local markets. I think Disney’s decisions in recent days provides very compelling reasons why we need more players in the media market.
Breaking the media conglomerates should be a pretty compelling issue that resonates with most Americans.

You’ve obviously never watched his show. He’s a partisan advocate and ranter. He’s not a comic.
He’s a comedian and talk show host and he’s said nothing more outrageous than anything Fox “News” says on an hourly basis. Why do you hold comedians to higher standards than your newscasters?
Killmeade just literally said homeless people who don’t cooperate should be killed. Not one word from the right. Just another day at Fox.
Homeless people are not really a demographic advertisers target.
What a dumb argument. First, Kimmel's comment is in no way equivalent. (Quote below--show me the lie or the call for death)
Two, there is no way that Kimmel's ratings and audience would be affected by such a benign comment. No. Possible. Way.
So it isn't ratings, and it's not lies, so what is it really? Oh wait--it is the FCC threatening their license and their merger.
Kimmel
"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 between the finger-pointing, there was grieving on Friday. The White House flew the flags at half-staff, which got some criticism, but on a human level, you can see how hard the president is taking this.""

Dana Walden, co-chairman of Disney Entertainment, Bob Iger, Chief Executive of Disney made the decision after major affilates of Nexstar said they would drop Kimmel's programming.
That doesn't mean the government didn't influence the decision. Your President is loudly and openly admitting to this. Are you really this stupid?

The answer is resoundingly yes.
