Isn't the right-wing trying to be dismissive of Brendan Carr's threats right now? Hell yes, they are. LOL.

That is exactly what Brendan Carr did. Yes.

Could the actions he is referring to below be a suspension? Or, can it only be a firing?

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

Guess we're just going have to wait for the "easy layup" 1st amendment violation lawsuit for all yall to be proven right. Lol.

Please tell me yall are just twisting the knife, here. You don't actually believe what you're posting do you?

I haven't overlooked that at all. The problem is, that because of the de-regulation that Nexstar needs from the FCC in order to complete a merger, the threats made by FCC Chairman Brendan Carr carry significant weight. Nexstar controls 33 ABC affiliates.

Brendan Carr is responsible for the cancellation of Jimmy Kimmel Live! becoming such a controversy. He should not have made those threats. Those threats have complicated matters, to say the least.

I agree that Carr was wrong for threats even if they were empty

Problem is that the FCC guy made his threat and Kimmel was soon pulled. Its a lay up for any decent civil rights lawyer to win a claim for a First Amendment violation.

What's more alarming is Trump's comments about broad review of licenses of any network that airs commentary critical of him. Thats just blatantly unconstitutional.

If it’s a layup we should see a Kimmel win in court then soon. Right?

Either way .... he should not have made that threat.

Once again .... these right-wing social media posts are ignoring the elephant in the room :

The threat that was made by the FCC Chairman prior to ABC announcing that "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" was being pulled indefinitely. The FCC made no such threat prior to Roseanne Barr being fired from "Roseanne." The existence of that threat changes everything, and it does make this an issue concerning freedom of speech. The two incidents are not the same in that regard. You can thank Brendan Carr for that.

Cool.

So no, the Biden administration had nothing to do with Disney firing Gina Carano, so trying to equate it to Kimmel's situation would be incorrect.

No, Disney did that ALL on their own. Which to me makes it even WORSE.
At least with Kimmel they had an excuse. With Carano it was pure hatred and vitriol against her person for DARING to be mildly conservative.
And just wondering, how many of these Hollywood idiots even raised a finger to defend Gina?
How many conservatives did pre Elon Twitter ban at the urging of the Biden administration? Especially over COVID or vaccines?
What did Biden and company claim again? Oh yeah; that people were spreading “misinformation”. Hey wait; isn’t that what Jimmy Kimmel just did? Blatantly lie to a national audience?

So Rosanne was somehow “less fired” than Kimmel (who isn’t even fired by the way); he can be back on TV tonight if he just reads a two or three sentence legal notice like the hosts of the View have to do ALL THE DANG TIME.

You are totally missing the point.

The cancellation of "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" is only a controversy right now because of Brendan Carr's public statement which included a threat directed at ABC, and mentioned "Kimmel." The government should have stayed out of this matter, but they didn't. This is a free speech issue because of what Brendan Carr said.
