Jimmy Kimmel has been fired. Jimmy you can't just make up lies.

first, f*ck you for calling me a liar. you ought to watch your mouth. can we have a disagreement without slurs and hyperbole from your end.

speaking of hyperbole, second, kimmel is not the news. a comedy act is not the news.

third, if we are reading the law this way now, then "sinclair" better watch out when the election flips. that is purposefully distorted, mass distributed news.

fourth, i hate to ruin xmas or the tooth fairy for you, but comedians don't necessarily believe all they say. it's a "show."

fifth, the FCC head can recuse himself from the complaints because he has publicly prejudiced himself on their outcome by advocating an outcome before a complaint arrives.

Boo, hoo! Charlie was taking over the MAGAs. Trump needed Kirk GONE.

example, my local fox station is owned by fox. in recent years they have decided to deliberately have a right wing slant to the local news, which has not always been the case. do i get to complain and toss them off the air?

so is it no errors? no politics? from both sides?

this is a fun discussion with the folks who got rid of "equal time" and opened this can of worms they now dislike.

to be clear, there's not any whiff of principle to be had here, any different than trump signing away afghanistan, blaming his successor, then now saying he wants to normalize relations with the taliban (who protected OBL) in exchange for getting use of bagram back.

it's amateur hour and what trump thinks any particular minute. which, contrary to what he sells, changes regularly.

But you are a liar.

Losers like Kimmel and Colbert and Stewart hide behind comedy. They are political pundits that throw their clown noses back on the moment one of their disgusting opinions gets pushback.

Youre threatening to do what you literally always do when youre in office? Oh no!

i mean he said he was gonna fix inflation, prices down, and now is saying he wants tariffs and interest rates down, which drive prices up.

The kid squealing about being called a liar is lying again!

Trump didnt sign away Afghanistan he negotiated a conditional withdrawal because no one on earth other than Liz Cheney, John Bolton and the pedo Lincoln Project thought we still needed to be in Afghanistan 20 years after 9/11.

Biden sh*thing the bed and handing the entire country to the Taliban in less than 12 hours is 1000% Bidens fault.

Biden abandoning Bagram before the civilians were out was one of the dumbest decisions in US history.

Obama said he would lower sea levels and you clapped like a seal.

One comment, then I won't be back to this thread.

You know who is absolutely thrilled about this?

The Russians.

you are out of your depth.

from the FCC website:

News distortion "must involve a significant event and not merely a minor or incidental aspect of the news report." In weighing the constitutionality of the policy, courts have recognized that the policy "makes a crucial distinction between deliberate distortion and mere inaccuracy or difference of opinion." As a result, broadcasters are only subject to enforcement if it can be proven that they have deliberately distorted a factual news report. Expressions of opinion or errors stemming from mistakes are not actionable.

this is a comedy show and not a factual news report.

the facts for days were fuzzy. eg, his whole family was MAGA, so isn't he?

and you lack the precision of thought and evaluation to see kimmel said something specific, which is literally true, but which you want to imply much into.

so what you're doing, which sounds roughly like lying to me, since you like the word and keep lobbing it about, is saying we apply news rules to entertainment shows, and ignore what is said and instead read into the comments whatever political implications we want, which we then misjudge the speaker by.

You are one crabby, disingenuous mensch. The overwhelming majority of US news media has been so far left in presentation and content for 65 years that in many cases it has become a parody of itself. All because of your ilk’s piggy bank, the Fed. People need to look into who actually owns and runs it. Then the torches, pitchforks and shotguns will come into play. 🤣

The government is shutting down free speech with the FCC. Kimmel is a comedian, reporting factual news is not his job. I miss the days when the right oppressed cancel culture, cared about the constitution, and free speech.

Now we have Bondi vowing to prosecute “hate speech” (anything the government doesn’t like) and Trump making flag burning illegal. Ignoring what the law and legal precedent says. This country is quickly spiraling in to a fascist dictatorship. While the right is cheering the whole way.

The Russians Obama said hadnt mattered since the 1980s?

Russia doesn't give a damn about Jimmy Kimmel and the US is stronger with Jimmy Kimmel off the air.

first off, repeating myself, i didn't vote for obama the second time, so do try to keep up.

meanwhile, i am sure you have rotely voted for this nonsense thrice.

second, obama supported renewables and was at least trying. that's not a fib. that's at most inefficacy. your guy says he cares about inflation to voters who considered that a leading issue, then switches to trade policy -- tariffs -- and interest rates -- which his boss donors would like reduced to lower their borrowing costs.

i am saying your guy not only lied it was a priority but could give a crap less and is even doing policies that make goods more expensive. if you have being snookered confused with even a half effort, i feel sorry for you.

do you not understand the order of lie we are talking about when a pol says this is my first priority and then just drops it and literally does the opposite?

He made a deliberate distortion.

Then he played a clip of the president answering a different question than the one that was asked and distorted that deliberately.

You people lie so often you cant even tell you're doing it.

And youre out of your depth talking to your pets.

Tough when the pendulum finally swings back after a decade, eh? You'll be stronger after this.

MAGA credo: free speech for me but not for thee for I am a sensitive weak snowflake

there any reason to be tossing around jewish references here? and you're the people claiming everyone else are antisemites.

They should revoke broadcasting licenses from propaganda outlets.
