Charlie Kirk shot

[BCR]

Mickey, the most gullible old man ever who posted fake shit as recently as yesterday now cares about facts.

I’m fully aware the kid was not some MAGA zealot. People like you who constantly post fake shit is why I am laughing at the right’s sudden concern about misinformation and how badly you take even the smallest dose of what you have mainstreamed around every issue for 8 years.

Everyone has watched low info low IQ losers like desert, split, and you fall for everything for years posting fake shit every week. Everyone has watched how effective it is to fool people like yourselves into regurgitating fake shit every day and your idiocy has been a roadmap on crisis management going forward.

This debate about whether he's left or right is a bunch oif crap.
Newsflash: Our gun laws are retarded.
Every now n then there's going to be right wing killers lerft wing killer Straight gay dem republican short tall black brown white etc etc etc
They easiest ways to cut down on shooting is for the media to not make these killers more famous than rock stars.

They should show a blurred out face and first name only for no more than the first day..

Is this propaganda campaign against the left related to this?
A must watch btw

Kimmel was taken off the air, not because of government pressure, but because ABC knew they were going to lose massive advertising dollars. They had to move on it.

And Orko is right about it not mattering whether the shooter was left or right. What really matters is what leftist zealots are up too. Below is a hit list Andy Ngo took off one of the dark websites he lurks.

See, I do believe this was government retaliation, and I don't like that part of it.

It's true that Kimmel's show was likely losing money, so it wasn't a huge loss for ABC to suspend it (and even get rid of it).

However, this was definitely done because the companies involved (ABC and the affiliate-owner Nexstar) were scared of the FCC bringing consequences upon them both presently and down the road. The last thing they wanted was to stir up the hornet's nest with regulators, so it was easier just to bend the knee and suspend Kimmel.

This sets a bad precedent, because we really don't want the government (of either party) directly or indirectly threatening consequences for speech they don't like. That's part of the reason Twitter and Facebook were so censorious of posts regarding COVID or Hunter Biden's laptop. That was awful, and this isn't good either.

ABC definitely has a right to suspend Kimmel if they don't like what he's saying on their platform, and had they done this on their own, I'd have no objection.

Kimmel did blatantly lie. He did knowingly spread misinformation about the Kirk shooter. If ABC simply said, "No, you're not using our platform to do that shit", and suspended him, it would have been 100% justified.

I just don't like how it went down. The suspension happened due to government pressure, and we should never want that.

Network used this incident to hopefully save face in eyes of conservatives. Truth is he was gonna go anyways because ratings are shit.

Advertising dollars were still a part of it. Not just for Kimmel’s show but every other show.
