  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

More Irony. The Left is boycotting Disney because they suspended Kimmel, and the Right is boycotting Disney because they brought him back.

Kimmel suggested that many Trump supporters were trying to capitalize on Kirk's death
“The MAGA gang (is) desperately trying to characterise this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it.”
But in no way could that be construed as a joke. Neither in content or structure. An assertion is not a joke.

So where is this joke he was censured for?

Just...what? We've just seen two late night comedians have one show cancelled and the other put on pause because they offended the president. Now neither are taking their usual pot shots. They have loaded for bear.
Kimmel wasn't suspended for offending the president and I don't know who the other is

I have repeatedly been saying it wasn't a joke. Did you read the thread?

Two of the largest station groups wont be carrying him. I think they represent 20% of viewership, which is pretty large.

...let's see how long they can hold out if Disney/ABC finds other channels in the affected area to carry Monday night football.

Sure, I'm sure FTC Commissioner Car is acting without any regard to Trump's well known campaign against late night comedians....

The FCC Commissioner should have stayed out of it.

...it seems he has no plans to stop:

Mr. Carr has appeared on conservative radio talk shows and Fox News to defend his actions, saying local broadcasters were finally serving audiences tired of biased programming. He has suggested the F.C.C. should investigate ABC’s daytime talk show “The View” over its political content. He said he planned to continue the agency’s work to empower local TV stations to reject the shows they disagree with.

He's wrong but I remember the previous administration trying something similar

Is that your view?

I actually watched an entire Kimmel monologue for the first time last night (Trump did that!)

You're not following this.

Kimmel didn't say anything of the sort and I doubt if any reasonable person would have thought that. Kimmel's point was that MAGA people were strident in denying that the kid was right wing. Suggesting, and in some cases claiming with zero evidence, that he was a liberal. Kimmel was pointing out that immediately after the shot was fired there were people trying to score political points.
We had the evidence within about 24 hours of the shooting. Even with no evidence, this was Charlie Kirk. If you were a gambling man you'd be a fool not to bet that the shooter was a lefty.

Not to mention Kimmel flat out said it was MAGA that did it. Bradskill isn't being fully honest. I heard what he said.
Kimmel also lied through his teeth in is reappearance. The government never took him off the air and never threatened to. They never told the stations they had to remove him. He spent the whole time blaming the government for his suspension instead of blaming himself for lying about who the shooter was. And now he's lying again.

Did he? I didnt hear that. What I heard was Kimmel implying the killer was himself maga.

Saying that the movement as a whole somehow did it is entirely different. Please show whare he flat out said that.

Riddle me this: what does it take for a grown man to do that? Extreme stupidity, or malice? Or both?

If what he actually did say was so bad, then why the need to build it up into things he didnt say?
