    “What does that mean when you say you’re not done yet?” Faber asked. “Then, I mean, will you only be pleased when none of these comedians have a show on broadcast television?” Carr replied, “No, it’s not any particular show or any particular person. It’s just we’re in the midst of a very disruptive moment right now, and I just, frankly, expect that we’re going to continue to see changes in the media ecosystem.” Asked by anchor Jim Cramer if the U.S. government should “have someone who reviews the writers before the host says something,” Carr said, “No.”

    “This is a very, very serious issue right now for Disney. We can do this the easy way or the hard way,” Carr told right-wing commentator Benny Johnson that day. “These companies can find ways to take action on Kimmel, or there is going to be additional work for the FCC ahead.” “They have a license granted by us at the FCC, and that comes with it an obligation to operate in the public interest,” Carr said.

    We are not going to control what these broadcasting companies do… but also they better do the correct thing or we are going to shut them down… this is disgusting…

    Roseanne called a black man a monkey… Kimmel said the shooter was one of them and called trump a man child who cares more about a ballroom

    they are not the same thing

      Clearly. Roseanne said a sensible, non racist, non controversial, non obscene line unlike Kimmel.

    When does this party “legalize comedy” again? I thought they were all free speech absolutists?

    Were they lying when they said that? /clutches pearls… Heavens to Betsy!

    let this be a warning to the future who permit cults to exist rather than extinguishing with reason and fact

    Where’s the dipshit that said this had nothing to do with the first Amendment yesterday? I have a few questions for them.

    “‘Mislead’ the American public” is all it takes to get cancelled now? Great! Let’s run down the list of “alternative fact”, MAHA, QAnom, pizza gate, election deniers, etc and cancel their shows, social profiles, and various platforms.

    So fire all of the late show hosts and give young people yet another reason to not engage in that dying medium. Fat old pedophile rapist will still be mocked around the world.

    He’s gonna be dead soon too. He looks like shit. Just you wait for those celebrations.

    I figured as much, still too much criticism for Der Trumpler on American tv, for the fascists in charge.
