The censorship will continue until the free speech improves.

Can't wait to see which comedians the state hand selects for us to laugh at

Can any of our resident maga sympathizers explain what was said that was a big deal.  I know you are out there. I want to hear it. 

While they're at it, would also like to hear why it's a big deal when Brian Kilmeade, who advocating executing the mentally ill homeless, is still on the air and employed.

I'm sure we'll be waiting a while for a response.

Size doesn’t equal intelligence. I’m still not convinced or understand what about his comments were offensive enough to justify this.
 

MAGA are nothing but intellectual snowflakes.

Haven't read his comments yet, but you can't piss your boss off.  He did and now is paying the price for it.

Earlier on Wednesday, Trump’s Federal Communications Commission chairman, Brendan Carr, publicly called on licensed broadcasters to stop airing Kimmel’s show.

“I think that it’s really sort of past time that a lot of these licensed broadcasters themselves push back on Comcast and Disney and say, ‘Listen, we are going to preempt, we are not going to run Kimmel anymore, until you straighten this out because we, we licensed broadcaster, are running the possibility of fines or license revocation from the FCC if we continue to run content that ends up being a pattern of news distortion,’” Carr said Wednesday, speaking with conservative podcaster Benny Johnson.

“We can do this the easy way or the hard way,” Carr added. “These companies can find ways to change conduct and take action, frankly, on Kimmel or there’s going to be additional work for the FCC ahead.”

I'm sorry, but this is happening because he the state compelled this action. Pretty easy story to tell

And the state is well within their rights to do that.  

[CMRivdogs]

If we weren't in an internet monopoly by the local cable service (Cox, soon to become Crapcast) I'd cancel their service and stick with YouTube TV. I am already boycotting Nextstar  owned stations, as well as ABC and Paramount. 
 

We need a nationwide boycott 

[mtutiger]

Another piece of evidence post-act. Entirely government driven.

I love the Kool Aid dude just licking up the fascism. Must taste so good.

And Nextar has an $6 billion acquisition waiting on FCC approval.  I guess they gotta please the boss and this is how they do it.

The gov owns those air waves and have determined what can and can't be shown since TV was invented.  Has nothing to do with my political views.  

[mtutiger]

It's also not even clear whether the state has the right to do it either, particularly if they were to fire him outright

Those of us who spent time in broadcasting warned about this when Congress relaxed ownership rules on local stations. We were poopooed by conservatives and libertarians at the time.

This is on both parties...both Bush Sr and Clinton are among the complicit

Welcome to the Orbanazation of America continues.

So ABC can go on the air at 3PM and talk about the best way to make a woman cum?  First amendment and all.

 

[Sports_Freak]

How much longer before MAGA starts going after large X accounts that discuss corruption? Everything Trump and his administration does is corrupt, they just don't want it publicized.

Or they can go on the air saying to give the homeless an involuntary lethal injection? Yeah, MAGA easily loses this argument. Bunch of triggered snowflakes.

The FCC has the right to regulate the airways. But if it's chair uses his position to coerce ABC to fire a personality for speech it doesn't like, that's potentially a 1A case. At least per Ken White.

Again, pretty straightforward.

Didn't he say that on Fox News?  That is cable, and the government doesn't have any say over it.  They own the OTA channels like ABC, NBC, CBS, and regular Fox.  They do regulate those.  Sorry man.
