Marty thinks the sword is mightier than the men and he is right.
elsewhere.....here because it is not board upgrade related
Jimmy Kimmel and many others woke up out of a job this morning due to adolescent and misguided notions of what the 2nd amendment is actual intended for .)
Perhaps another meaning Marty?
Business relations with government is what is behind Kimmel and Colbert getting axed, pure and simple. Government approval and licensing and such is now directed by Trump loyaylists who work to retain his favour. Getting or retaining their approval comes at a cost that now goes beyond meeting regulations and paying legislated fees to now aligining with government political views and the view of DJT.
I believe there were some industry M&A deals pending among several major multi location network franshisees\licenses who announced their suspension of Kimmel's show then this was followed by ABC as prudent when it became apparent the FCC ...headed by DJT appointee Brendan Carr ....became involved to decide on what exactly Kimmel said that was wrong....
CBC news exerpt The indefinite suspension of Jimmy Kimmel Live! was announced late Wednesday after the comic made remarks Monday and Tuesday about the assassination of Charlie Kirk, including saying that "many in MAGA land are working very hard to capitalize on" the shooting and to characterize the suspected attacker "as anything other than one of them."
On Thursday, Carr suggested in a CNBC interview that Kimmel was "appearing to directly mislead the American public about a significant fact."
Before the suspension Wednesday Carr had urged local ABC affiliates to stop airing the show. He suggested the commission could open an investigation and that broadcasters could potentially be fined or lose their licences.
"This is a very, very serious issue right now for Disney [ABC's corporate parent]. We can do this the easy way or the hard way," Carr said in a podcast interview with podcast host Benny Johnson. He also said local stations needed to "step up" to express dissent against what he variously called "this garbage" and "sickest conduct possible."[/i]
See who crowed the loudest about their cancellationall the way from the UK no less.?
If writing ever becomes work I think I'm going to have to stop
