I see your attempts at deflection.

If Brendan Carr isn't fired as FCC Chairman, he will become an albatross for Republicans. They should be demanding his resignation right now .... but they aren't.

It's amazing how much you know about things you don't know about.

You're the perfect leftist mouthpiece though. Parrott the same lines over and over incessantly in hopes that it becomes the truth after the 1,000th post on it.

Nobody on the right ever addresses Brendan Carr's threats, when trying to defend the Trump Administration's heavy-handedness. They will always just bring up the Neilsen ratings, as if they make Carr's threats okay.

I mostly listen/read these days to stay away from the same retread arguments when very few can be convinced of another position like you. You've spent the last 45 pages blame shifting to Brendan Carr and Donald Trump. Are you getting a cut of Kimmel's 15 stacks because otherwise it seems like bizarro world? Blame the guy lying and being insubordinate. Kimmel supposed to be in the entertainment industry yet he has become an activist who has used his night show as his platform when it's clear the assasin was brainwashed by left wing talking points.

Funny how you point out someone else that can't be convinced of a different viewpoint. Again blame is assigned to the left for a horrible act. Why can you not understand that there is evil on both sides of the political isle? Noone on this board supports murder. But many of us believe Kimmel is a victim of suppressed freedom of speech, a step toward fascism.

How about blaming the guy who made the cancellation of Kimmel's show a controversy? "Bizarro World" is the threats that Carr made against ABC. Those threats are the reason that the cancellation of Kimmel's show hasn't been as smooth as the cancellation of Stephen Colbert's show. You can't pretend that Carr's threats are not a part of this story. When you have Ted Cruz criticizing a member of the Trump Administration with descriptions such as "Dangerous as hell," ..... something has gone badly wrong.

Kimmel didn't lie. He didn't say that Tyler Robinson was a MAGA member. Kimmel said that MAGA was exploiting the murder of Charlie Kirk by trying to characterize Robinson as being a member of every negative affiliation they possibly could, except for their own. And you don't know if Kimmel has been "insubordinate" either. That is just something you have read, that was spoken by an unnamed source.

Brendan Carr's threats against ABC came BEFORE both ABC and Nexstar announced that Kimmel's show was being suspended indefinitely. You can't argue around the significance of that. It constituted a very serious infringement on freedom of speech. The FCC Chairman (a member of the federal government) has no business making such threats. ABC can cancel Kimmel's show, of course, but it has to be THEIR decision and it can't come about as the result of pressure from the federal government. When that happens, you have a clear cut violation of the 1st Amendment, which is what we have here. I'm not surprised that a mindless sheep and Trump flunky such as yourself is defending Brandon Carr ..... being the cultist that you are, you would defend Trump and his minions for anything.

Among the people who have been critical of Brendan Carr's threats against ABC are :

Sen. Ted Cruz (R) Texas
Sen. Rand Paul (R) Kentucky
Sen. Dave McCormick (R) Pennsylvania
Sen. Thom Tillis (R) North Carolina
Tucker Carlson (right-wing commentator)

As usual, Trump is distorting reality.

It’s the right policing itself, as it should be

Have you noticed that Carr/FCC are not involved in negotiations to bring Kimmel back? You’d think they’d have to be if they were the primary reason he was taken off the air

The FCC should not be involved in any capacity in the hiring/firing decisions of individual networks. They aren't involved in negotiations now, and Carr should not have involved himself in who ABC employs to begin with.

I went from Election Day to 1 month prior and in his defense I didn’t see him making any predictions like many others here did.

But he did spend plenty of time telling the Georgia “you’ll get arrested for giving people a water bottle!” lie.

I agree. Point here is that these facts don’t support your conspiracy theory that the Kimmel suspension was due to Kimmel. If ABC and affiliates were worried about the FCC why would they consider bringing Kimmel back without Carr’s approval? This kinda shoots down your whole story. Frankly, it falls apart

How long do you think it takes to develop a press release like what Sinclair and Nexstar put out regarding Kimmel? Do you think it takes someone an hour or so to just type it up?

It takes multiple versions reviewed, attorneys being involved, and approvals all the way up to the C-Suite for a company to send out a press release like what was stated by Sinclair and Nexstar. Given this reality, the decision to drop Kimmel was probably agreed upon inside the companies as early as Tuesday.

I believe the local affiliates doing something they had never done before moved the needle a lot more than what 85 would like to believe, but you can't discount what Carr did either.

All we can do is speculate about that .... but even if that's what you choose to believe, Brendan Carr's threats were still very inappropriate considering his position as the FCC Chairman.

The federal government has no business making demands of individual networks, concerning their hiring/firing decisions.

Now, the FCC can levy sanctions against individual networks for the actions of their employees, but the FCC should stay out of it when it comes to assessing if the employee in question should be fired.

My issue with those against Carr comments... If my research was a clue proving that Kimmel's comments violated the FCC would be a long shot. So the threats are weak... The choice to cut Kimmel's show came before the public announcement

They never should have been worried about the FCC to begin with .... but they were. I think they allowed themselves to be intimidated. This is not a conspiracy theory either. It's a timeline of facts.

Can you post the exact quotes from Carr again for us, please? I don't think I remember Carr making specific demands about Kimmel; just that an investigation may be appropriate.

Why on earth should licensees not be worried about the FCC? It's there in part to be worried about.
