And of course, this debate site is such trash, there will be 4 pages of justifications for this nonsense, blaming Trump or Hitler or some other nonsense, ensuring you Americans will have years more of this....


Well, you get what you deserve.

In case you're wondering, I'm also not the guy who starts forest fires with Jewish Space Lasers.


For sure. However, you are that guy on this site who makes shit up about Mormons, makes shit up about a crazy college assassin with a transgender boyfriend being an ultra Nazi Fascist. That guy who, given a chance, would probably pretend Trump himself or "MAGA" shot up an ABC building because the TV execs didn't "fire Kimmel fast enough" (or whatever story makes sense to you). That guy who looks at a show drawing 125k key people in one bad month and then declaring it a wise future investment for TV investors right after the host made up some crazy shit during a national tragedy.


Like Kimmel, you should adjust your tinfoil just a wee tad.

Shoresy

Aren't you the one here claiming those big execs are doing it all wrong?


I saw this on Canadian news: Some guy did a drive-by shooting at an ABC building.


You are not that guy that shot up those ABC execs, are you?

Shoresy

I doubt you are going to find many corporate giants today willing to buy 70 million dollars worth of airtime to target the 125,000 in the key demographic recorded in August 2025. That's 560 advertising dollars per person. And people who watch that kind of entertainment in the key demographic aren't particularly known for being heavy consumers.

Shoresy

Yeah, I read something about their key demographic (18-49?) was around 150,000 at the time of the Trump FCC threat.


Most popular YouTubers like Rogan (which I assume FCC also has no control over) get at least 5 times that much with next to no production costs! Few people over 49 will surf alternative media, so when 2 million people watch a video a day, that's serious competition.

Seems to me your political right only gets worked up when their American identity gets attacked. I had to look up what you were saying about the Dixie Chicks, and yeah, opposing your Iraq war only a year away from your 9/11 attack probably tracks with the outrage over Bud Light removing straight males from advertising. And the Kirk assassination tracks as well as an attack on a straight Christian family man. That identity is what your right is willing to cancel over. Anything that could even look like "anti-American" which I also find highly humorous and ironic.

Shoresy
But I suspect Trump winning last year fundamentally changed the game.


The Bud Light cultural revolt predated your election. Things were happening even while many were betting Trump had no chance. I suspect what really changed the game was an attack on the American identity, which to me is highly ironic considering Bud Light isn't even an American company! I suspect Trump is simply riding the popular wave of that. From up here, it just looks like folks got bent over a “national” beer that’s brewed by Belgians! Regardless, companies are taking note and applying the cancel where the wind seems to be blowing today.

You guys had riots in Baltimore where 4 soldiers and a bunch of civilians were killed by a violent mob in 1861, and Lincoln put Francis Howard and john Wallis in jail, both editors of papers calling Lincoln and his supporters the equivalent of Nazi and Fascist (they called him a tyrant). That's your history.

Shoresy
Wasn't he also a political tyrant who jailed journalists because he feared escalations of assassinations?

Nope, that's just inane BS you made up.


Lol there is an entire wiki article on it.

You have to be trolling at this point. I can't believe Americans are that ignorant of their own history.

Shoresy

America, WTF?

I agree, your left didn't really use the power of the government to eliminate opposing thoughts, they just outsourced 3rd parties and radicals to do that job. Plausible deniability is written into every post you place on this site, and for good reason. The only problem is when the American public sees your side as protesting too much.

Shoresy

I seriously doubt MAGA watches Kimmel, so you can't blame the loss of revenue on them. It was a product so bad nobody on any side wanted to watch it. Again, if you want people to tune into content about personal opinions, a comedy show is probably not going to make as much money as an opinion show. If people are not laughing, a comedy show is probably not going to make money. Scary opinions rarely cause laughter, but sells very well on an opinion show. Trump or MAGA as you named it has no power to stop Kimmel from being a permanent guest on the Abby Phillips show.

Shoresy
Jimmy Kimmel was pulled off the air over the same comments you're throwing here.

ABC did good, in fact. I saw a lot of news about people being fired from their jobs for mocking Kirk's assaasination in social media. This kind of things shouldn't be allowed because it's not a good example for the youth, specially when it comes from the left.


I saw it differently. ABC hired comedians to entertain people on that show. I think making a speech about how MAGA essentially killed Charlie Kirk wasn't landing squarely as humor enough to justify the production costs of the show. That kind of rhetoric would be more profitable on an opinion/news show.

Shoresy

On a second look, what's going on under the hood is extremely wild. Crossing your borders without checking in somewhere is technically a crime, but every single person that does this will never get charged for it because the due process for that would be a court trial.Instead they charge them with the civil offense of being in America much like overstaying a visa where they can legally deport to satisfy due process.


Strange laws.
