Bill Maher goes nuclear on MAGA for Jimmy Kimmel ban

"After years and years of illegal and unconstitutional federal efforts to restrict free expression, I also will sign an executive order to immediately stop all government censorship and bring back free speech to America." – DJT, January 20th 2025
 
It is typical of Maher to go on rants surrounding a false narrative.
Again - remember - what the left really wants is to take away private companies rights to control their own programs.

Again, an accusation with zero proof, oops sorry, you do you have proof of your statement, right?

‘Dangerous as hell’: Ted Cruz compares FCC chair’s threats against ABC to mob tactics
Click to expand...
Yes that - did you not notice that Cruz said "I am thrilled Kimmel is off the air"
You not see that??? It is the 4th or 5th line!
His dispute with the FCC chair, like many, was his language he used talking about controlling the media as a whole. Not Kimmel.
I realize you, and most of you here, ignore all reality in order to support the false narrative you are fed - you will follow whatever you are told to.
 
Thanks for posting that again, many people need a reminder of the hypocrisy and lies of Donald Trump. Some people remember it, but give it a pass because they care as much about our country and democracy as the Fuhrer trump himself.
 
Perhaps Bill can straighten all this out over a friendly lunch with the president.
 

What a shock, Trump claims one thing and does something else.

Really? I had no idea Trump was "Left".

Trump just used his "golden share" to deny US Steel from closing a plant

Oh - so if Trump does it one place, that makes it universally true for all other things?
The problem of the left, is they ignore reality in favor of what they want to be true.
You all WANT Kimmel's suspension to be about 1st amendment, or Trump corruption etc.
Losing his job because station affiliates, whose primary stations are in areas that don't appreciate Kimmels nightly one-sided political shit show, is not something you can get all Karen about. Because, well golly, they have a right to do that. Businesses can choose to stop carrying a product that less and less and less people want - so they can replace it with something they do want. Nooooooooooo - it must be a scandal!!! First amendment!!! Censorship!!! GRRRRRRRRR!!!! TTRRRRRRRUUUMMP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't think it needs an introduction. He is especially against it because his own show was canceled under George W. Bush. I will just say I agree with him. I like Alex Wagner. Joe Manchin, not so much.

Jimmy Kimmel was not removed from television because of some Donald Trump thing. His show was suspended because he had 120 k viewers in the key demo.
 


As I have been saying - if Trump promises it, either the opposite or some twisted concept of the original idea will be the result

This has nothing to do with Trump. Jimmy Kimmel's show had a 120 k viewers in the key demographic. That's why it was removed.

Link to what?
If you are unaware that Maher has gone off the rails over a false narrative, then I can't help you.
He is a "top layer" kind of guy.
Or do you mean to how the left wants to remove private companies rights to control their product?
You are making that argument right in this thread.
The left want to boycott Disney/Sinclair and shoot through the windows of an ABC affiliate - all because they decided to stop one of their products.
Which they 1000% have a right to do, which you don't want them to.
 
Maher is no doubt a pompous ass, but I watch his show because he is equally critical of both parties, as are the people on his panels. Why would he have Joe Manchin on his panel if only wanted to cow-tow to the left? He mentioned in this last segment that he has invited Kamala Harris and AOC to be on his show and they have never accepted. He's had Ted Cruz and Ron DeSantis on his show, for God's sake.
