I'm lost? Or seem to be? Please tell. You have some note written on a cocktail napkin that ol Jimmy was gonna pull of some grand hoax or something? Post it. Until then, keep *speculating*. We all know that is the coin of the realm in the PS on eccie.
Does the head of the FCC have rules in writing that they can kill off programs because of ratings?
Hey! I don't call your stuff garbage since I know it's your treasure. But that's the value you place on it.
And as with NaCl-y, you speculate about something being a lie. That really isn't the point, thanks to TxDot putting out the rules, which we know maggies don't like to follow or feel abide to obey. And funny you treat your feelings as fact. Not acceptable in a court of law (yet) that I know. And I have only posted *one* remark that I don't think was from family but someone close to family. That was that the shooter at one time liked the guy he shot. Strange love. But as I say and maggies deny to the extreme: they eat their own.
Keep whining about insults. I'll listen to them when you do a tally of them from everyone here. I really don't care. Because that is at the whole source of this thread. A guy exercising 1st A rights. And how y'all maggies still love the guy who TACO'd it.
You have in the past had no qualms about libbys swallowing a turd. Jimmy refused to. Sinclair wants jimmy to kiss their ass so they don't have to because that guy who has his thumb on the FCC guy won't let a future deal they have go through because it bruised his wittle ego.
As with charlie, who cares what ted sez? well, ted seems to agree it was a shakedown. Yes, they have a right to say stuff. But we have a right not to listen to garbage (but it is treasure to their own ears.)
Another big pile of garbage. But by all means keep digging. I use the actual statutes as basis for telling you people that your new hero is getting treated exactly as he should be for lying and breaking the rules. Not about the first amendment either. It's about YOU and your side being held accountable for your lies for the first time in a long time. Sinclair demanded action after their viewers lodged a LOT of complaints. Seems they're doing what their viewers want.
(a) No licensee or permittee of any broadcast station shall broadcast false information concerning a crime or a catastrophe if:
(1) The licensee knows this information is false;
(2) It is foreseeable that broadcast of the information will cause substantial public harm, and
(3) Broadcast of the information does in fact directly cause substantial public harm.
(b) Any programming accompanied by a disclaimer will be presumed not to pose foreseeable harm if the disclaimer clearly characterizes the program as a fiction and is presented in a way that is reasonable under the circumstances.
(c) For purposes of this rule, “public harm” must begin immediately, and cause direct and actual damage to property or to the health or safety of the general public, or diversion of law enforcement or other public health and safety authorities from their duties. The public harm will be deemed foreseeable if the licensee could expect with a significant degree of certainty that public harm would occur. A “crime” is any act or omission that makes the offender subject to criminal punishment by law. A “catastrophe” is a disaster or imminent disaster involving violent or sudden event affecting the public.

Don’t you get tired of being wrong so often?
If lying was the sole criteria for breaking rules 73.1217 then there would be many more people who would be in trouble due to lying.
Rule 73.1227 isn’t a multitude choice rule. All 3 items in the rules must also apply. Without substantial public harm there is no violation.
What this is all about is El Schitzenpants being butthurt and using his supposedly friend’s death to go after his enemies.
He is a thin skinned little man boy who doesn’t like it when people are mean to him.
... Once again, Tx-Dot, you don't seem to understand.
... ABC/Disney made the decision to postpone Kimmel's show.
... Not the FCC, the government, or President Trump.

Only after the FCC commissioner Brendan Carr threatened them.
Trump doesn’t get to tell people what they can say just because he doesn’t like it.
And now he’s threatening other tv shows that have been critical of the President.

FCC chair levels threat against ABC, Disney after Kimmel suggested Charlie Kirk assassin was 'MAGA'
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chairman Brendan Carr issued a threat Wednesday against ABC and Disney, suggesting he would take action over comments made by late-night host Jimmy Kimmel about the alleged Charlie Kirk assassin.
After pressuring ABC to suspend Jimmy Kimmel, Federal Communications Commission Chairman Brendan Carr is setting his regulatory sights on ABC's The View and NBC late-night hosts Seth Meyers and Jimmy Fallon.
Carr appeared yesterday on the radio show hosted by Scott Jennings, who describes himself as "the last man standing athwart the liberal mob." Jennings asked Carr whether The View and other ABC programs violate FCC rules, and made a reference to President Trump calling on NBC to cancel Fallon and Meyers.
"A lot of people think there are other shows on ABC that maybe run afoul of this more often than Jimmy Kimmel," Jennings said. "I'm thinking specifically of The View, and President Trump himself has mentioned Jimmy Fallon and Seth Meyers at NBC. Do you have comments on those shows, and are they doing what Kimmel did Monday night, and is it even worse on those programs in your opinion?"
In response, Carr discussed the FCC's Equal Opportunities Rule, also known as the Equal Time Rule, and said the FCC could determine that those shows don't qualify for an exemption to the rule.
"When you look at these other TV shows, what's interesting is the FCC does have a rule called the Equal Opportunity Rule, which means, for instance, if you're in the run-up to an election and you have one partisan elected official on, you have to give equal time, equal opportunity, to the opposing partisan politician," Carr said.
At another point in the interview, Carr said broadcasters that object to FCC enforcement "can turn your license in to the FCC, we'll find something else to do with it."

wrong. ABC affiliates were upset the moment that fat asshole Kimmel tried to blame this on MAGA

What happened behind the scenes that led to Kimmel suspension
The decision to yank Jimmy Kimmel’s show off the air wasn’t quite as rash as one might think. The issue had been brewing all week throughout the executive ranks at Disney and ABC — ever since Kimmel made comments during his Monday night monologue about Charlie Kirk’s suspected killer and, as he called Trump’s supporters, the “MAGA gang.”
Kimmel’s remarks Monday attracted ire from the critics on the right, which put it on Disney’s radar. On Tuesday’s show, Kimmel doubled down, saying, “Many in MAGA-land are working very hard to capitalize on the murder of Charlie Kirk.”
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.
According to one of the individuals familiar with the situation, Kimmel was prepared to deliver his monologue on his show Wednesday night and planned to address the right-wing backlash to his remarks made earlier in the week regarding the politicalization of Kirk’s killing. This individual describes Kimmel’s planned monologue as “very hot,” taking aim at the MAGA base.
It was then that Disney executives had conversations with Kimmel about “taking down the temperature” of his monologue, according to the individual. Nexstar announced its plan to pull Kimmel’s show at the same time.
That’s when Disney CEO Bob Iger and Disney Entertainment Co-chairman Dana Walden made the decision to preempt the show indefinitely — in hopes of protecting Kimmel and the Disney brand from accelerating the controversy.
Is it possible just to not watch the shows that don't interest you, and if there is not enough interest, the sows will eventually be taken off the air ?
This looks like plenty of government intervention to cause the private corporations to take them off the air.
It also seems to interfere with free speech. No one if forcing anyone to watch these shows. I don't watch these shows. They are a waste of time.
“Fox & Friends” Brian Kilmeade (who's still employed)
Co-host Lawrence Jones said taxpayers have given “billions of dollars to mental health and the homeless population,” but “a lot of them don’t want to take the programs, a lot of them don’t want to get the help that is necessary.”
“You can’t give them a choice,” Jones continued. “Either you take the resources that we’re going to give you … or you decide that you are going to be locked up in jail. That’s the way it has to be now.”

If it upsets you...call your local affiliate... if enough of you leftists do so, he will be sent to the cornfield with Jimmy.
But you won't because you can't because you're 10% of the population that just has a lot of water carriers in the media.
You are impotent and weak... your only response is to kill those who actually thought you were worth talking to.
Zero fcuks are given to your complaints or cries of hypocrisy.
