I am shocked, SHOCKED I say, that facts don't matter in your world. Maybe alternative facts are more your speed. Or fabrications.

Here's the thing that I think most of us not in a cult can agree on. Many broadcasters/social media giants are kissing the ring because they either know or have been warned that Trump will hurt them if they act out against them. Wanna merge or buy a rival? Well, ya better get in line or it'll be rejected by the FCC or another governmental organization (DOJ?). Wanna keep doing business in the US? Tow the line! It's subtle extortion. So, Zuck could be legit sorry for trying to censor the insanity from the right so it wouldn't infect more idiots in the US and around the world (which makes me wonder how you became radicalized rich...Youtube, Facebook?), or he could make the hard business calculation and shut the fuck up. Keep in mind, Facebook helped Trump win in 2016 and then saw the supposed light and allegedly bulked up privacy settings...Now Trump is back, and Zuck is back to kissing ass.
You're telling me media is afraid of Trump? I don't think so...If you think they are, then they're a bunch of pussies.

They ARE a bunch of pussies. Well, maybe afraid is not really the reason. It could be they want to conduct business as they want. So, ABC and CBC payoff Trump over friviolous lawsuits they would have likely (almost for sure) have won (the 60 Minutes and George Stepanopolous suits)....and low and behold, they were able to complete their mergers or business deals fairly quickly. Now, I know the right is not very curious about things that could paint the Dear Leader in a negative light, but we know a few things here....First, no other thin skinned, weak willed president would have the audacity to sue a media outlet in this fashion, because in normal times they would be laughed at. And second, no media company, unless they feared retribution or costly delays for mergers, would settle such outlandish lawsuits. But, as we've seen with the Kimmel story, they don't want the government to block deals or impede business.

Honestly....Do you think what Kimmel said was really that problematic? He didn't glorify Kirk's death. He didn't say it was good. He didn't even really say that much about Kirk. But, he did talk about how MAGA was trying to grift in the wake of the assassination. He was a little mean to the wrong people, and now he's off the air. But...over at Fox, Brian Killmede can advocate for the murder of homeless people, and gets off with an on-air apology....

wasn't threat, you can keep going with your tirade...doesn't change anything...
On a Wednesday podcast, Federal Communications Commission Chairman Brendan Carr said ABC had to act on Jimmy Kimmel’s comments about the murder of right wing activist Charlie Kirk. “We can do it the easy way or the hard way,” the Trump appointee told right-wing commentator Benny Johnson.

How is the FCC chairman suggesting their license would be reviewed not a threat? Maybe you should change your name to 3rdreichacq 🤣 Ve haf vays of making u comply 🤣🤣

Just moments after a divided House voted Friday to adopt a resolution “honoring the life and legacy” of Charlie Kirk in the wake of his killing last week, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) slammed the slain right-wing influencer as “ignorant” and "uneducated" for his numerous past controversial remarks, and accused House Republicans of “whitewashing American history.”




“We should be clear about who Charlie Kirk was; a man who believed that the Civil Rights Act that granted Black Americans the right to vote was a mistake,” AOC said, speaking on the House floor.

“Who, after the violent attack on Paul Pelosi, claimed that 'some amazing patriot' should bail out his brutal assailant, and accused Jews of controlling 'not just the colleges, it's the nonprofits, the movies, it's Hollywood, it's all of it.'"

AOC condemned political violence in all forms, but compared Republicans’ resolution honoring Kirk unfavorably with past resolutions condemning political violence, such as those adopted after the targeted killing of Minnesota State House minority leader Melissa Hortman, who was killed in June in an act of political violence.

Specifically, AOC took issue with portions of language included in the resolution, particularly its mention of Kirk’s “legacy,” or that Kirk had worked “tirelessly to promote unity,” a claim, AOC charged, was partisan in nature, divisive, and blatantly untrue.

“Today's resolution only underscores the majority's recklessness by choosing to author this condemnation and honoring on a purely partisan basis, instead of uniting Congress in this tragedy,” AOC said.

“...His rhetoric and beliefs were ignorant, uneducated, and sought to disenfranchise millions of Americans, far from the 'working tirelessly to promote unity' asserted by the majority in this resolution.”

AOC’s comments came after the passage of the resolution, which ultimately passed with a vote of 310-58, with 215 Republicans and 94 Democrats for the measure, and 58 Democrats voting against it.

Turton attended the event in person while working as a reporter for Wired. He provided an audio recording to Snopes, which verified that Kirk said:

I have a very, very radical view on this, but I can defend it, and I've thought about it. We made a huge mistake when we passed the Civil Rights Act in the mid-1960s.
