President Donald Trump was reportedly so livid over Jimmy Kimmel’s TV jokes that he ordered White House officials to get the late night host muzzled.

Rolling Stone reported on Sunday that there were at least two phone calls to a top Disney executive to demand action against Kimmel in 2018. Disney is the parent company of ABC, which airs “Jimmy Kimmel Live.”

It didn't work.

Oh hey, Cancel Culture.
Ok, so NOW we can say that the current administration is "doing something" that Trump's administration couldn't do, but not against Kimmel, of course.

We can? I don't get your reference.

My reference was to the last two words of your previous four word post. Not difficult to understand. I even quoted your post in my reply, in case you missed it.

What I meant is that I don't know what or who you're talking about. In other words, I'm not aware of a case of the Biden White House trying to silence/cancel somebody for making jokes or for levying some other form of criticism. In post #3, when you say the Biden administration is "doing something," what are you talking about?

Have I forgotten what? An example that in no way fits what we've been talking about?

Have you already forgotten the five posts that were written in the last hour? My post #2 said, "Oh hey, Cancel Culture." Stifling a report about Hunter Biden is not, in any way, an example of cancel culture.

Then you tried to blame this on "the current administration," but did you bother to read that NY Post article?
In response, Facebook limited sharing of The Post’s October 2020 scoop

Who was president in October 2020? I must have forgotten.

Nothing there said that it was done by request of the administration of the time, or by any department of the govt.

Well it sure as heck doesn't say that it was done at the request of the future administration.

or by any department of the govt.
The article mentions the FBI multiple times, saying that they gave Facebook warnings about the possibility of threats and that Facebook then interpreted the laptop story as matching that threat patterns they'd been warned about.

But help me understand your point here: you're now saying that Facebook wasn't acting on the directives of the federal government, but a few posts back, that's exactly what you claimed.

Do you actually have a coherent claim or point that you're trying to make? Or are you just making up a bunch of anti-Biden nonsense, throwing it all at the wall, and seeing what sticks? Are you trying to be funny and failing at it? Help me understand where you're coming from here.

LoL, what a time to alive. President tries out “cancel culture” while complaining about cancel culture.
"Cancel culture" wasn't much of a thing until Black Lives Matter became a thing.

I'm not sure how that relates to the actions of Trump since BLM has been around for ten years and he was president 6-2 years ago.

They may have been around, but they weren't much of "a thing" until they started the riots and in began their crusade of intimidation, which is what spurred censorship in areas of race which spread into all other areas.

Cancel culture has been a thing as long as humans have existed. It just wasn't named "cancel culture" until recently.

And therefore wasn't a "thing" until recently.

lol, k. Along those same lines, gravity wasn't a thing until it was named in the ~15th century.
Gravity was always a thing. It just wasn't a "thing". ;)
