Pretty soon every station will be like Fox "News"
Bethany took my pickles. All of them. Even the spicey ones.
Assassin kills a democrat congresswoman and her husband, it out of the news cycle within 2 days, meanwhile the right say she deserve it.

A maga podcaster dies, flag need to be lowered, the right doesn't want mean things being said about him, or even his own quotes to be used, and people are fired and threaten for just not caring or saying things like hate brings more hate.

Man, if we treated The Second Amendment like we do the First Amendment we might do a lot better.

In an era where people have moved away from cable and have gone to streaming. Kimmel will find a home that respects him.
Narutaki was right. This is all Decade's fault.
Yet Brian Killmeade still has a job

He didnt even make fun of Kirk or call out his white supremacist rhetoric. His comments were more a dig at the rabid animals on the right and making fun of Trump. Dont care for Kimmel or his humor, but pulling his show just for these comments is absolute BS.

He literally said for the state to murder homeless and mentally ill people

Violent rhetoric is protected if you're on the Right. Always has been.

The FCC chairman threatened to pull ABC's broadcast license if Kimmel wasn't punished. Fuck ABC and Fuck Disney for caving to this blatant first amendment violation. Like what the fuck. If one person punched Trump in the face, maybe these assholes would grow a spine and stop kissing this stupid orange fuck's ass.
"How can.. the Prime minister.. support a law.. that makes it illegal for people.. who....What I'm trying to say is.. Oasis rules!"
They won't be satisfied until every late night host is gone.

using this BS reasoning to pull his show is really showing how the media intends to silence anyone who dares to be even remotely critical about their king. america is fucked and they are speeding up their full purge now

Exactly. Look at Illinois. They fought back when Trump tried to send the national guard there and he backed down. Trump is a bully but he's also a coward.

They're turning everything into state run media, and none of the networks are putting up a fight.
man - noun. A miserable pile of secrets.

Mark my words, by the end of 2026 we're going to see one of the major networks at least attempt a late night talk show with a right-leaning host and it's either going to be some podcast hack or Greg Gutfeld
It is what it is, man.
The Dems need to use this to wipe Fox News off the face off the Earth when they get back into the White House.

They won't stop until Right approved propaganda is all anyone ever sees.

Trying is the first step towards failure, so just dont give it a shot and you cant dissapoint.

Is this seriously the joke that got the show pulled?

Joke is beyond harmless.

You either can't talk politics, which politics played a part in late night for decades now.
Or you have to be a maga and calling for violent on the left will then be a ok.

Sad timeline we are in.

This is all preparation for a never ending Right leadership.

Dude probably could have made a joke ACTUALLY at Kirk's expense and been better off. This was nothing but a joke calling out Trump being a callous dillweed. Can't have Dear Leader called out for being exactly the person he is.

For real. Killmeade says we should lethally inject homeless people? No problem.

People make small jabs at a hateful xenophobic bigot or characterize him BY USING HIS OWN QUOTES ? Well thats just unacceptable.

Fucking ridiculous.
You guys think Meyers is starting to sweat now? Kimmel gone, Colbert gone, Fallon the one who actually had steve bannon on his show, still fine. I don't know if the daily show has even tried to talk about this I know stewart flat out said he's tired of covering mass shootings knowing this country won't do a damn thing about them but now on top of covering this one you need to say nice things about the victim regardless of is actual stances and beliefs or you are canceled and fired. It's already happened to some folks around my area.

Right wing facism owns this country today charlie kirk, by this time next year saying anything negative about right wing beliefs will get this kind of response
A worthless existence

And it will fail spectacularly. Because right wingers have no humor and thin skin.

After Colbert they are just looking for excuses to end these late night shows. This joke is nothing.

Just one example of Gutfeld's attempt at humor

Gutfeld: You know what? I've said this before, we need to learn from the blacks . The way they were able to remove the power from the n-word word by using it. So from now on its: What up, my Nazi? Hey, what up, my Nazi? Hey, what's hanging, my Nazi?
Kennedy: Nazi, please!

It is amazing how quickly this country has speedrun into something awful and unrecognizable. US has always had deep flaws. But 200 plus years to build something that at least attempted freedom, especially freedom of expression. All undone in 30ish plus years by characters like a pathetic slob radio host and the clumsiest, dumbest con man who ever lived.

Our government is become a complete joke, and so is the corrupt, conservative media it shamelessly influences. The world thinks our country is pathetic, and they should. MAGA is pathetic, and voters gave them control of everything.
An opinion does not turn into a fact simply because the person holding it feels strongly about it.
Disney and ABC are pussies and should be ashamed, but we all know media execs and the 1% literally don't have souls and aren't full humans so you can't expect that out of them.

What's ABC going to replace it with? A rerun of one of the 100,000 Grey's Anatomy episodes, or some unfunny sitcom?
It is what it is, man.

That one "comedian" on fox news is so bad

My parents tried to show him to me once. They thought I would laugh and then I guess start having doubts about being on the liberal side. But he just sucked. Conservative humor just doesn't work

I would say let them have it for the sake of the lesson they might learn about words changing in meaning and impact over time except we all know damn fucking well they wont learn a thing and will just assume its a unique one-off.

after what passed florida today a legislation allowing marco rubio to strip passports from any citizen in the country if he deems they support a terrorist organization, a terrorist organization in this case will be at his digression meaning he can decide what happened today counts as doing that I'd urge Kimmel to make use of that passport to Italy he recently got a month or so ago, for his own safety he needs to get out of this country before Trump sends ICE after him to send him to one of the camps either the one in Texas, the one in Florida or the ones in countries where nobody will ever hear from him again, by the way has anyone heard from mr. garcia after he finally made it back but ICE re arrested him and are threatening to send him to uganda? we have no way to confirm if they've already done it or not because this time they refused to let the media see him let alone confirm he's even at the facility in this country still.

This country is gone and it only took 9 months to get this far, imagine where we'll be in another year or 3.
A worthless existence
the joke is probably as offensive as calling Joe Biden old

Its not really a Trump thing, its a FCC thing. Even Howard Stern said that the FCC likes to do stuff like this.
If you're gonna hate on a game, make sure you played a good chuck of it first.
The media has chosen its side, and it isn't ours. Keep that in mind moving forward. Anything coming from these media sources needs to be assumed to be compromised, if not an outright lie.

My prediction is the 2nd ammendment is going away within the next 10 years. And one silver lining for me will be to enjoy seeing conservatives being shocked when that happens

No dictatorship allows citizens to have guns.

The FCC is a government agency, and this is more extreme than usual for them.

It's a Trump thing.
...I think I'm done here...
He's not even that funny and I think this is stupid.
Will not change this sig until Tommy Wiseau wins an Oscar (Started 12-21-2014)
I'm not a watcher of late night shows but how in the fuck does THAT get someone canceled and "involuntarily lethally inject" the homeless does not?
Quick to judge, quick to anger, slow to understand.
Ignorance, prejudice, and fear walk hand in hand.

It's more than stupid. Every media broadcast going forward is going to be heavily sanitized and Trump approved or risk cancelling. Another step toward the death of free speech and free press.

I just went to D+ to cancel my subscription. Perfect timing. It was renewing TOMORROW. Better things I can be doing with that money than supporting enablers.
This is a signature.

Brendan Carr currently heads the FCC, appointed by Trump in 2024
he's absolutely doing this by decree of Trrump
