Super impressed by this speech from the kids. Someone already said it on here but I'm going to echo. I didn't know fuck all about the politics of my teachers in school, we did our school work and debated about the topics of the class. If any kids raised something of a political nature a teacher might ask them to explain their position.
 
People are seething over another weapons grade disinformation platform getting nuked
I couldn't care less about Jimmy Kimmel but your summary is extremely incomplete. If we nuked weapons grade disinformation platforms where comedians say inaccurate things, Joe Rogan would have caused a mushroom cloud over Austin.

Probably the only time I saw right wing cancel culture at this national scale with full synchronicity between government and corporations was in the run up to the Iraq War. If you weren't a total patriot, you got nuked. And by patriot I mean going along with every claim made from the government. A lot of news broadcasters got nuked. Bill Maher got nuked. Of course that led to the suppression of any discussion that we were going to a disastrous war based on lies, but at the time thats how people demanded it went down. Pretty similar.

Do you think that when Donald Trump dies, the world will mourn him or pop champagne and make TikToks dancing to his death? What do you think?
People will do that , make fools of themselves, people will probably also find themselves unemployed afterwards.

If people want to show their ass in America they got every right to, but freedom of speech is not freedom of consequences and if you act like a clown you will be treated like one.
 
Just in case anyone is interested as I had to google it myself, but Nexstar is a big media channel who owns tons of tv channels. So though they can be affiliated with Disney/abc content they still have control what to show. At least I think that's how it works.

So they would license shows from big media companies for their creative content.

Nexstar didn't like kimmels comments and said fuck em.

This is weird and I'm torn. I don't like cancel culture. I support free speech, with one clear line being calls for violence. I also don't like obvious propaganda, and I don't like tasteless gravedancing. At the same time, part of me hopes that the far left finally getting a taste of their own medicine could be the first step towards moving the discourse in a freer and healthier direction.

EDIT: I'd also be lying if I said I didn't feel some schadenfreude. Mostly, though, I want the temperature to turn down.

Yup.

And creatives, teachers, political nutjobs and hardcore LBGTQ promoters always love doing. Promote to kids since they are young, impressionable and a creep can influence them all day at school or on TV.

A creepy guy standing behind a counter selling cellphone plans cant do that. But a crazy pervy teacher or political activist can in hopes no parents find out what their kids are doing.

Pure creep zone territory. And they wonder why normal folks and parents get pissed.

I talked about it in an earlier comment, but I really hope this compels the teaching profession to get looked at a little closer. Some of the most vile comments and actions have come from professors and teachers. It's unacceptable and, just like the media and their ofttimes disguising of opinion pieces as "news" (equivalent to teachers disguising their opinions [read: propaganda] as education), it's a big part of the problem with regards to extremism and radicalization - not to mention the stress, lack of compassion, and anger it can and does instill in malleable young minds.
 
That's a reasonable concern, but the problemn is these fears are often times rooted in transphobia. Just like in the 1950s we had politicians accusing the gays of seducing and recruiting kids, before that in the 19th century it was the immigrants grooming kids, etc. There is a long history in the US of linking a marginalized group to grooming kids to generate fear in order to justify discrimination/exclusion, and this seems no different to me because there is no evidence that shows trans people are associated with higher rates of sexual offenses against children.

As always, I'm open to new data
Nothing I said has to do with fear. I'm not talking about any hypothetical potentiality, I'm talking actual stuff that happens. The stuff that happens is what people care about, no one cares what some adult does to his/her own body as long as they leave people alone.
 


This asshole also did a bit where he encouraged people to go out and burn Tesla cars during the 'Elon is a Nazi' media blitz that happened earlier this year

I'm glad they fired his lying sanctimonious ass

edit: here's Kimmel telling people to burn Teslas from before

Anyone see the vids of the shooter getting charged. Not a single response from him (in the vids that's I've seen). Looks like a zombie. Barely moving. I don't know if that's normal or not.
I believe they had him wrapped up in some anti suicide outfit.

Dudes life is effectively over, there is no getting out of this one. It definitely wasn't worth it.

Jimmy made his own bed and now he gets to lie in it. I'm gonna savor it.

Well like I said, lots of comedians make their bed. Very few are lying in it, even if they are a consistent source of weapons grade disinformation.

Enjoy your firing I guess. 🤷‍♂️
 
YouTube suggested this guy to me today. First time I'm seeing him but he sparked my interest because he appears to be using critical thinking. What do yall think of this guy?


Edit: For clarity, I was briefly an Administrator over at IIDB.org, which is a secular forum. In all my years participating there, and even during the short month I was serving as an administrator, I never once came across this guy.
Edit 2: I'm still active there as a regular user now.

Hours before the announcements from Nexstar and ABC, FCC Chairman Brendan Carr appeared on Benny Johnson's podcast and blasted Kimmel's remark, calling it "some of the sickest conduct possible." He also threatened some kind of action by the agency. "There are avenues here for the FCC, so there are some ways in which I need to be a little careful, because I could be called wholly to become a judge on some of these claims that come up," Carr said.

"Frankly, when you see stuff like this, I mean, we can do this the easy way, or these companies can find ways to change conduct, to take action, frankly, on Kimmel, or there's going to be additional work for the FCC ahead."

A person in authority calling it like it is?



Levity aside, good to see action being taken to address this problem and that even famous personalities like Kimmel aren't getting a free pass for their terrible words and behavior.

In the United States, the actual major networks (ABC, NBC, CBS, Fox) do not own the local TV stations themselves. The TV stations have licenses to show the content produced by the major networks ("affiliate themselves") but fill the time not taken by the networks with their own programming. The broadcast TV structure of the US has always been this way and if you happen to turn on the local TV station's signal when it's not prime time broadcasting hours you'll find all kinds of local content or licensed content which isn't network programming. The major networks have never tried to fill 24 hours of time with their own programming, nor have they ever tried to directly control the local broadcasting affiliate TV stations

Exactly.

And that's part of the problem that aggravates the situation.

The loud sjw/political group thinks the rest of the world thinks about them all day in a negative way the only way to cure that is 24/7 positive vibes and flag waving in people faces.

That's how insane they are. And not surprisingly comes from their mindset of being attention whores like it's the most important thing in the world.

When I walk around and see people on the street or store I just care about doing my own thing or listening to music while shop for a bag of apples.

If someone is gay or trans walking by who cares. I just want to finish what I'm doing and get home and chill.

What the insane people think is that every person near them thinks they are so important they got a target on their head in a most wanted list. As if a mom and her kid who wants to buy paw patrol really cares about another persons gender/sex.
 
Lol.

I don't watch any of these guys. But I remember when Colbert got booted a streamer said kimmel will be next. He predicted Fallon has best chance to survive as he's the most likeable and least politically cringey out of them all.

Looks like he was right!
All the talk shows are dying off. Kimmel, Colbert, and Maher all have their contracts end in 2026. Fallon and Meyers end in 2028. They all got contract extensions late in Biden's presidential term even though all of them lose their network tons of money. All are left leaning (Fallon by far the least, Maher less outspoken than in the past). There has been rumors that the shows were financially propped up by USAID, but I haven't seen proof of that.

Good


These outraged reactions to justified consequences often include people using words they don't understand. For example, the word "truth":

Erin Burnett: "The job should be to speak truth to power, even when there are people who don't like the word truth anymore."

There was nothing truthful about what Kimmel said. It was just his own narrow-minded opinion which he felt entitled to broadcast to the world at large. It's amazing how there's so much delusion of this nature too.

Trump using the FCC as a weapon against his critics is ugly. Biden using the FBI as a weapon against Trump was ugly. These tools of immense power should not be wielded so freely or we aren't going to stop until someone's house gets no-knocked by the Green Berets.
 
I saw we just banned TheMan TheMan for repeating the lie the murderer was MAGA. I told you that we would have to argue indefinitely that the shooter was a leftist.

He was planning to run damage control on tonight's show. He knew he fucked up royally after the clip went viral.

A source tells The Hollywood Reporter Kimmel was prepared to address the backlash on Wednesday night's show. He planned to explain what he said and demonstrate how it was taken out of context.

Yeah, they're celebrating a little too much. Unless/until the Supreme Court intervenes, Trump's going to test how much he can get away with. Which, if allowed, will be a precedent used by Democrats later on.



Well, you really could just make another list of various other violent acts either carried out or threatened from the GOP side and it would just prove that...two wrongs don't make a right.

It's not nearly as funny when the other side can in fact respond to you in kind by naming a whole bunch of other incidents across the last few years. Then again, it's not what either side wants to hear right now.

If you can't put your opinions up to open debate, I'd argue that you don't really believe your views hold water.
Everyone here in this thread is doing more to open their opinions to debate than anyone in other places on the Internet these days TBH

I'm glad the insanes all moved to the purple forum because this thread wouldn't have been possible before the schism that separated gold and purple into 2 sites
 
My roommate still thinks the shooter is a groyper but everything I'm hearing suggests he was far left in his beliefs?

I'm sorry but maybe I missed it. Who was the initial man they grabbed with his pants down to his ankles as they were carrying him out?

Nah he was a known political agitator. He admitted to having child pron on his phone while being detained. Being charged with felonies.
