You say this like 90% of TV isn't just lying and feeding you whatever garbage you want to hear in order to you get your money; Are we shutting down fox news now for saying the election was rigged? From the lawsuits we have internal docs that show the producers knew it wasn't true but they aired them anyway. Or when hannity said it was Clinton's killed Seth rich, despite him knowing full well that police statements and investigative reports were all saying it was a botched robbery but he kept pushing that narrative because it was popular with his viewers. Or Tucker's show where he had people saying was proven to be effective against covid. Not only was the jury still out at the time, but now we know it's not effective. Should we be shutting these people down to set a message that you can't lie to the American people? Are these lies not dangerous enough by your standards? Listen to what you are saying, it's mental!

Yes, we are. Wait until the next Democrat president gets elected. Fox News will be on the chopping block after this. FCC regulates them as well.

 

[thefool]

They do not care about any of it. They look at these satires and dont even care , their entire system relies on lying and controlling the flow of information. This is the same political movement that would censor directly accounts on twitter and facebook as well as banning President Trump.

I'm a democrat so I don't follow Fox News. But didn't they get sued and lost because of their election lies? And weren't hannity and Carlson eventually fired?

Like I said. I'm a lifelong democrat and I ignore Fox but when I see the far left acting like clowns I'm going to call it out because that's the party I align with and I'm embarrassed to be associated with these people.

I don't care what the right is doing. I care about the far left acting like clowns because they will kill the Democratic Party and we will never win again until our elected leaders flush people that behave this way out of the party. And I'm not alone in feeling this. Moderates and independents will break right if these grave dancers and political violence supporters continue to be a thorn in the democrats side.

No they don't.

 

[FullMetalx117]

For such a smart guy, dismissing the massive power of the Obamas is a bit disingenous, to say the least.

And let's pretend he never did that as a president, sure not. Let's pretend Higher Ground Productions doesnt exist and that Netflix is not a liberal propaganda machine.

Okay, let's pretend that Alex Jones never happened
Like he never had dreams of being a grifter
Like he he doesn't write bullshit to the masses
Like he didn't use to runaway from the blackness yeah

Now let's pretend him and DJT are all good
Like DJT is not staring at his pardon book
Like he's not about to do something his supporters thinks he should
No regard for any values that's why they call it sandy hook yeah

Harsh truth, that most online leftists doesn't want to accept.
I posted a message here day or two ago how I asked Kirk haters on what their hate is based upon and they only post the quotes from google, no one provided a link to the video (even the guy who replied about the sus stuff here). I've asked some more.. with the same result. Sadly, I came to the concluseion that leftists/dems are absolutely out of touch (and that's people who promote tolerance). If nothing is changed there will be another fiasco after Trump.
In the mean time, I found a lot of conservatives with a common sense and intelligence, which I (as not American) found funny, because from my side of view Trump&Co are one of the dumbest political "elites" I ever seen.

yes, he's on suicide watch. they put that vest (informally called a turtle suit) on and strip off every piece of clothing. also no toilet, just a hole in the floor.

No they don't.

You're right. My mistake. They only regulate broadcast media. So if Rush Limbaugh were alive today and we had a democratic admin in power, and they tried this shit, we would all be screaming government overreach. But since it's a left wing talk show host, no one cares

I would agree that anyone trying to provide cover for the lunatics celebrating a political assassination the day after it happens should be immediately yanked off the airwaves. Take that shit to stormfront where it belongs.

[Angry_Megalodon]

Both Left and Right presidents try to control the media at some extent. This is not news. However, Trump is the most vilified president in the history of any democratic country. I have never seen something alike. If it's justified or not, that's a different discussion, but there's no doubt that he's the global scapegoat for every bad thing happening in the world.

Therefore, saying that Trump is going to control the media is laughable. He can't. And he's not the smart type to do it without people noticing.

That's why it's important to always double check what the news say and always go to the source, never believe the "interpreted version" of someone else's words. The whole Charlie Kirk's controversy is due to the fact that people believed a twisted version of his words without bothering to learn them first hand.

America treating politics like religious people treat religion is nuts.

Remember the atheist movement of the 2010s that basically became a region. All pray to the lord Dawkins and the flying spaghetti monster.

And isn't it a suspension? I heard he could be back on. Or maybe not, if he throws a tantrum. Hearing Letterman talk about him, you would have thought he was the one who was shot.

Don't you dare insult the Flying Spaghetti Monster, or you will suffer when He makes His eventual return and bless all followers with His Noodly Appendage. How do I know this? It is written in the great Pasta Bible. We take our young children to the Noodle House on Sundays to pray to his Noodliness, so that they too one day could be blessed with His Meatballs and Sauce. Though I must say the Pasta Priests are sometimes a bit too liberal with their Noodle around the younger boys, so we ask them to keep it in their strainer...

I never comment on American politics since I'm in the civilised part of the world, but I saw this video and I came here to check if someone already had post it. What an emotional rollercoaster. I usually watch her for the laughs and I didn't expect the feels train. She almost broke and almost broke a forty something cynic from the other side of the pond.

I don't know how, but the US and UK need to do a hard reset on all their universities.

unplug it and plug it back in situtation.

It's so blatant now that the hardcore mental brainwashing and retardation of youth is happening on campus.

So, I just graduated from UW and I can tell you I never witnessed any brainwashing in any of my classes. Professors were open to debate, students were open to debate and everything was civil and respectful. Now granted I did not major in gender studies, <insert race here> studies, or any other sociological study. My degree is in Psychology with a ton of research group work and not a single time did I hear anything derogatory from anyone about anyone.

Granted, you could be talking about online, in the shadows type things, but I'm giving you what I have literally recently witnessed.

This isn't really correct at all

In the end, Disney suspended the show because the two largest ABC affiliate companies Nexstar and Sinclair, who combined own around 80% of the ABC affiliate local broadcasting stations, already stated they were not going to air Kimmel's show. This is a right that the independent affiliates have because ABC doesn't own the local stations

Even if the FCC Commissioner had not said a single thing, the show was effectively going to be pulled for the majority of Americans. He could have kept his mouth shut and the result would have been the same

We saw during Biden's presidency how most of leftist media protected and covered for his illness. They are basically a propaganda arm for the Democrats and in lockstep with their politics. The left may be more subtle about how they control media, but they are not some innocent doves.

Also, let's not forget how the Hunter Biden laptop story was handled.

Hunter Biden laptop letter was the real disinformation all along

It turns out the “51 intel experts” letter implying Hunter Biden’s 100% authentic laptop was a Russian fake, and the ensuing efforts to kill Post reporting on it, were the actual disinf…

Just imagine if Biden won. He stayed on as lead and scraped up enough votes to win.

You'd have America right now being lead by a guy whose a zombie, can barely speak and doesnt even know which way to walk to get off a stage.

And a portion of the population wanted him in charge and protected from people knowing his shortcomings, while being leader of USA.

This is a right that the independent affiliates have because ABC doesn't own the local stations

Even if the FCC Commissioner had not said a single thing, the show was effectively going to be pulled for the majority of Americans. He could have kept his mouth shut and the result would have been the same

According to this, Nexstar didn't make that decision until after the FCC commissioner threatened their broadcast license:

But it wasn't until Wednesday afternoon, after FCC chair Brendan Carr went onto a conservative podcast and threatened to pull ABC affiliate broadcast licenses, that the matter really escalated. Then Nexstar — the station group which airs "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" in approximately two dozen markets — announced they would not air the show.

Carr publicly stating that Disney was at risk to lose its local broadcast licenses was a "real, serious threat" for all of ABC, a source familiar with the situation told CNN.
