Phew! Thank GOD We’re ONLY keeping True Americans on the Air like people who ADVOCATE FOR MURDERING POOR PEOPLE and NOT People who Quote Dead People!
There was just a mass shooting at a homeless camp
Shortly before ABC announced the suspension, Nexstar, an owner of ABC affiliate stations around the country, said that it would pre-empt Mr. Kimmel’s program “for the foreseeable future” because of his remarks.
Any creative ideas to turn cancel culture against these bitchass media companies & their dickhead affiliates? It needs to make the impact on their pocketbook to comply with fascism higher than the cost to oppose.
Even this framing is dishonest - he didn’t make comments about Charlie Kirk, he was mocking MAGA for rushing to weaponize his death. ABC shut down his show for a valid criticism of MAGA.
Yeah, it’s not looking good for them. Everyone is siding with trump in fear of being targeted.
Seems like a great recipe for unrest. Destroy economy and even take away any relief valves like Colbert and Kimmel.
Cannot imagine that will make anyone happier with Taco. The dumbfucks that hate Kimmel and Colbert don’t watch their shows anyway, so the only way they will be “happy” is that they will sit there with dark little hearts and a smug grin about “owning the libs”. But that won’t improve their life one iota and these broken people definitely will not be happier for it.

Trump just declared antifa a terrorist organization. We’re not even one year into this yet people.
Something needs to be done
I still don’t know whether ANTIFA is supposed to be a left group, a right group. Or just some made up entity.
It’s not an even a cohesive group or one that exists. Like, I’m anti-fascist. But there is no antifa for me to join. This is 🤡💩 💯
Or just some made up entity.
Kinda. It’s sorta like anonymous where pretty much anyone can hack a system and claim they’re part of anonymous. The shooter could have killed Kirk and said he’s antifa, but there is no actual group.

Fucking bitch ass move by a bitch ass corporation capitulating to a bitch ass administration.
I came here to say exactly this.
The decision by Nexstar comes as the broadcast station is seeking FCC approval for its $6.2 billion mega deal to acquire Tegna, a deal that would make Nexstar by far the largest owner of local TV stations in the country.
The FCC would have to raise the 40 percent ownership cap in order to let the deal advance.
Quote from The Hollywood Reporter. Just like CBS with Colbert.
But I thought that “cancel culture” was anathema to the GOP and MAGA?
Is this something I’m too Canadian to understand?
This is why the fediverse matters. Kimmel or Colbert, right now they can turn to platforms like YT and will still be able to get the voice out.
But guess what. The same corporatism that control ABC control google. You live on their platforms your message is dependent on their approval.
The future is free; the future is federated.
If the fediverse was a threat then it would also be a target.
Antiwork Mod Situation 2: Electric Boogaloo
EDIT: I misread your comment. Forget I said anything. Carry on.
Hear hear!
As an immediate illustration to your point apparently Reddit politics has apparently been removing this story left and right.
Spez got invited to talk to Congress about radicalism on social media. I bet that has something to do with it. Steve “Bugeyes” Huffman will not turn down an opportunity to help Trump out.
Out of curiosity, I went and checked the front page of r/all. Of the current top 25 posts, these are the ones which pertain to the Kimmel situation followed by their respective subreddit:
/1. news /2. askreddit /3. cringetiktoks /7. technology /9. nofilternews /10. politics /13. fauxmoi /14. facepalm /18. whitepeopletwitter /23. popculturechat
The post on r/politics pertains to before the show was pulled, but it was posted after it was officially pulled. Some subreddits do delete repeat posts that are about the same story to keep the discussion all in one thread, so maybe that has happened with that subreddit?
[Edit: added slashes to prevent auto-formatting from changing the numbers]
I’ll try to find the one I navigated to but they kept getting closed for being “off topic”.
Also I’d argue the FCC making a threat and ABC actually pulling the guy are 2 separate stories.
I don’t think it’s some Reddit wide cabal as much as R/Politics sucking

They can’t monetize on PeerTube, so they won’t
How we monetize might need to change. Maybe less ads, more donations? Budgets will have to go down, but that’s not so bad if the leash finally comes off.
I didn’t know ABC could bend over.
It is Disney
I didn’t know ABC still existed, or that Kimmel was on them.
Okay I know we’re all pretty deep into the nerdweb here, but let’s not lose the thread of reality here. ABC still pulls close to 5 million individual viewers every night, JUST on broadcast and cable rebroadcast. That ain’t fuckin nothing; TV is still an important and influential medium.
Elon musk, noted free speech absolutist, falls to his knees
“Why can’t we put all the people that disagree with our speech in jail? Why?!”
Free speech absolutist means they want to be able to say the horrible things they believe out loud so they can encourage others to act on those beliefs. At the same time, they believe its their “right” to continue to hold everyone in their life hostage and force them to tolerate their lies and hate speech.
Taco has always been a whiny little bitch about both of them.
ABC confirmed fascist propaganda network. Good to know.
Absolutely! I’ve been an ABC News viewer for many years, but I’ve been concerned lately. This cements it. I’ll be switching my news to NBC for the time being.
Time to use your millions to set up a home shop, Jimmy. Keep doing the thing, but indie style

Let them know what you think about them prostrating themselves to the fascists
I could see some little snitch inside there feeding to their doxxing resources to try to get complainers fired.
