Just to be clear: they suspended him for criticizing MAGA for trying to claim that the killer wasn't one of them. He didn't say anything about Charlie Kirk. He was censored for speaking truth by his own network. Not only censored, censured and suspended indefinitely.
We're 100% there kids. The founding fathers made a point to put something right after freedom of speech, from religion, and of assembly. Right there 2nd in order. Unabridged. Welp the 1st amendment is being abridged as we speak. And I hear that second thing was put in place to protect that first thing. I've been hearing it for over 50 years.
*quick edit in case anyone else wants to try to educate me about the constitution: no, he isn't protected by the 1st amendment from getting suspended. ABC should be protected but seeing as they've already settled for $16 million over threats on their FCC license and brought in new trump-friendly leadership, we can all agree he wasn't suspended due to ratings drops. Stop pretending things are normal. This is an obvious 1st amendment issue.
Hold up - it goes a layer deeper and is actually fairly similar to what happened to Colbert.
ABC had their hand forced because of a pending merger between Nexstar Media Group and Tenga, which once the FCC approves it, would place Nexstar in ownership of 80% of local TV channels in the US. Nexstar is based in Texas, so it's not exactly ABC-Disney friendly.
So they threatened to censor Kimmel themselves on local TV stations unless ABC did it for them. They had on the ground infrastructure power to do this.
And yes, we're 100% there. The key point is to understand that while everyone sees ABC as the Big Bad here, it's the infrastructure companies that have leverage and no one knows their names or how much they actually own.
Edit: Just saw this - Sinclair's local ABC affiliates are replacing Kimmel reruns will air their own CK tribute show, just on their own whatever, fuck ABC's programming.
If you care about democracy and not what some Republican fascist say, right now is the time to buy a gun. The 2nd amendment will be purged next.
...from my cold dead hands, as they say
It was a pretty tame comment too. What a bunch of snow flakes.
2A for all. Time to resist in other ways
He'll get to youtube and find success there, hopefully.
Brave to assume YouTube won't censor him. This may go down to Peertube hosted in Europe real fast.
only choice is hosting his own site, or licensing his shows to other networks.
Is Media Goblin still a thing?
youtube is part of the problem, they promote thier current regime, through right wing propaganda flooding the feeds.
Here's hoping. Colbert too.
Considering a large part of Colbert’s cancellation was poor YouTube ratings tho
Seems unlikely that format would be able to fund his writers / producers etc.
he can still sue them, but he has an escape plan just in case things dont pan out, aka flee to italy.
