Not what happened at all.

Wish you people can just post accurate information for once.

Well consider the Roseanne Barr similar situation. She was forcibly removed because of implicit, not explicit, pressure from the white house. The networks did Obama's bidding without him needing to ask.
That's the same scenario we're seeing play out now. Sure the government didn't pressure the business explicitly, but the business is doing the government's bidding due to implicit pressure.

Covid was a lot worse and more authoritarian than this Trump/Obama parallel, because Biden's administration was directly involved in censoring people, forcing their will on social media and micromanaging their algorithms and bans. Hell they were basically echoing the soviet era by having government censors send lists of names of people to 'take care of'.

are you just ignoring or downplaying the fcc's threats?



this case is quite explicit, there's nothing implicit about the threats made by the fcc against abc
I'm looking up your roseanne barr story and I can't find anything about obama or anyone associated with him threatening the parent company, it looks like a soley executive driven decision at abc

Are you just ignoring or downplaying that false information was provided by Jimmy and adding incorrect information on top of an already poorly performing platform it would make sense for this result?

You just want an excuse to blame something else on Republicans. Your victim mentality is exhausting.

If I owned a company that had an individual spreading false information to the public I'd consider doing the same thing.

The fcc stating Jimmy Kimmel mislead the American public about facts regarding Charlie Kirk's killing.

Sounds pretty normal to me.

I myself am pretty fed up with false media.

The purpose of media should be to teach the public factual material and the media has been used as a weapon against the public.

I am one million percent behind consequences for individuals using these platforms to push incorrect material.

It's funny how you support this "cancel culture" when the democrats push for it in a negative way, but when consequences come for a good reason you post on jsp complaining about it.

That is not the FCC oriented problem here that was raised multiple times in this thread and the op.

When did I ever support cancel culture?

Why are you making up shit?

When president trump incited a violent insurrection on the capital by telling his radical right wing followers to "fight like hell or you won't have a country", he was banned from Twitter.

Fixed it for you. He should be in prison.

POTUS getting banned from far left platform and years of hoaxes and fake lawsuits achieved exactly the opposite of what you wanted to achieve. Trump won everything he could possibly win.

More karma being served, keep the tears coming pyro

That is not the FCC oriented problem here that was raised multiple times in this thread and the op. Why is factual accuracy in a comedy show suddenly so important when Fox news has existed for decades spewing lies and rotting brains?

When did I ever support cancel culture?

Why are you making up shit?
