Jimmy Kimmel silenced

Trump Strikes Again.

McCarthyism on the rise. Not the Red Scare, but the MAGA Scare.

Really harsh decision to suspend him indefinitely, just after the killing Trump and Nancy Mace blamed it on the left-wing with no consideration for the lack of proof, they still have their jobs

Just recently I wrote a comment how far-right entities are buying up local stations. If moderate and dems don't start doing the same a large slice of Electoral College America will hear only certain things i.e. one very narrow, very biased side.

Well, Disney doesn't want their bottom line to be impacted negatively or face repercussions from Trump's FCC.

What about mess

The following comment is what Jimmy Kimmel is suspended for indefinitely




That's the truth. Firstly, Kimmel didn't say the killer of Kirk was a MAGA, even though he came from a family steeped in MAGA ideology. He was simply referring to the actions and statements coming from the Right in an attempt to pin the cause for the killing on the Left and leftist influence.

So Kimmel's statement perfectly encapsulates how many on the Right, starting with Trump's "radical Leftists" accusation started to frame the killing of Kirk.

Now, can someone explain to me as to what is so offensive about Kimmel's statement? First of all it was not directed at Charlie Kirk, the newly annointed saint of the Right, to go along with many white evangelical "christians" seeing Trump as some divine coming - a prophet, their new Christ. It was holding up a mirror to MAGA and their ugly attempt to pin blame on the Left and that mirror showed otherwise and they can stand it. They thought they had the perfect scenario to pummel the Left and Democrats on through mid-terms and beyond.

The sanitisation of Kirk is a modern wonder to behold

Imagine replacing Kimmel with a Tribute Hour to Kirk

Authoritarian regime, never thought I’d see the decline of 2 empires in a single lifetime.

I also see nothing offensive with what Kimmel said, but the suspension shows how intimidated the media industry is by the right-wing bullying, they are walking on eggshells just not to offend them

Money talks and bs walks. It was all well and good to take a stance on issues when we had presidents and administrations that followed rules and weren’t out rightly vindictive. With one tweet of false allegations, trump can sink any company. They wisened up pretty fast and bent the knee. Even companies like Amazon who were initially anti trump made an about face turn. Not congress, not the Supreme Court, no one has the balls to threaten their own bottom line against and entity that doesn’t abide by any rules.
