this is quite genuinely insane, and I want to believe the backlash to this will be severe

ABC Pulls Jimmy Kimmel Off Air for Charlie Kirk Comments After F.C.C. Pressure

Mr. Kimmel faced criticism from the chairman of the Federal Communications Commission for remarks about the politics of the man who is accused of killing Mr. Kirk, the conservative activist.

The New York Times
even the dimmest member of the broganverse has to be able to see the extremism here

@karlbode.com none of the story i saw so far say what he said, how bad can it be? 🥲

edit: ok the holywood reporter does, if that's all, they are properly insane to be out for blood for that.

"Kimmel’s original comments were as follows: “We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it.”"

@karlbode.com the only thing that sucks is I cancelled everything I subscribe to from the US when the election happened so there is no way for me to take that further. 😂
@karlbode.com It would be great to see them lose every Disney+ and Hulu subscriber, and for ABC produced shows to go on strike. I was really looking forward to Tron Ares next month but I guess I’ll wait for a pirated version to show up.
@crdfilm @karlbode.com
Whoa what a great move sir. 😎
Go ahead (i'm still enjoying pirated movies btw)

@karlbode.com If not for live sports,ABC would be struggling.

No one watches The Bachelor or Dancing With the Stars.

They watch football and basketball instead. Then change the channel to the streamers.

@karlbode.com
I do not doubt it will be severe, but I fear it will be short lived.

From the outside the USA looks like a train crash to happen and we can only watch but not interfere anymore.

My country experienced a right wing Nazi regime and a left wing socialist regime. Both governments were not good for our country.

I really hope the USA finds the brake and brings the train to a stop.
