they wanted a scalp and a warning to the rest of the libs and jimmy was the first one to say anything out of line so into the oubliette he goes

The director of the FCC went on Benny Johnson's podcast and said that Jimmy Kimmel's comments were "some of the sickest conduct possible".

"There are avenues here for the FCC, so there are some ways in which I need to be a little careful, because I could be called wholly to become a judge on some of these claims that come up."

"Frankly, when you see stuff like this, I mean, we can do this the easy way, or these companies can find ways to change conduct, to take action, frankly, on Kimmel, or there’s going to be additional work for the FCC ahead."

Nope but they're on the warpath, anything but total submission to the narrative that Kirk and MAGA aren't little heaven angel babies.

All the people like "oh this will blow over" need to look at things like this. It's being whipped up into a big thing. The liberals are obediently going along with it, the bourgeois press has their marching orders and this action is clearly intended to send a message.

But it's just the start. This is part of a broader push to control and censor the internet. They've been trying to back-door it with porn ID laws and all kinds of obscure things but this gives them a chance to say the internet is radicalizing the youth into America-hating antifa terrorist extremists and therefore not only do we need ID laws for using online platforms but we need to repeal section 230, we need to outlaw encryption, we need to make all providers 100% legally liable for anything on their platforms even if they don't know about it.

It's part of the longer-term trend of creating a great western firewall and censorship machine to control the narrative ahead of the grand conflict with China which will not merely be some naval battle in the SCS but a world war with color revolutions, palace coups, invasions and military action, and much more to do the utmost to isolate China and pull as much of the world as they can into America's yard to be pillaged and have its wealth extracted. With worsening conditions in the imperial core and discontent among the youth about unemployment and life prospects the time has also come to put the police state into high gear as they're about to give the proles in the core even less loot while stripping the walls, voiding the basic societal compacts of government responsibility for things like basic infrastructure and so on.

I think its because he bought the groyper assassin conspiracy theory and repeated it to the nation. But usually you'd just issue an apology over that. Not cancel the Buddy Friendly show.
