Seems like the people upset at the FCC for ABC's actions were awful quiet during The Twitter Files.
The Twitter Files revealed actual politically motivated government action against individuals. Should some of you revisit it?

Of course they were. But public airways have specific rules & ABC knows it

Imagine if the FBI called ABC News and demanded they fire/cancel/silence Jimmy?
This is the actual "totally differentism" that makes Chris look like a fool.
Does the FBI regulate ABC, genius?
(no message)
As much as they regulate Twitter and Facebook.

...and under Biden, the FBI called Twitter & Facebook and dictated to them what they would do-BOOM!

Name those rules

What "specific rule" was violated? I'd hate to think you were spewing bullshit.

Generally speaking
The broadcast by a station of false information concerning a crime or catastrophe violates the FCC’s rules if:
The station licensee knew that the information was false;
Broadcasting the false information directly causes substantial public harm; and
It was foreseeable that broadcasting the false information would cause such harm
You can argue "substantial public harm" either way.
I still say it was a business decision.
None of that is relevant. Good try, though.

Yeah, Kimmel was mocking the libs. Nice try

Also, to use publicly owned airwaves requires that you not act against the public’s interest, and
spreading false propaganda on public airwaves about the victim and mourners after a brutal assassination is clearly acting against the publics best interest
94 is unaware of this because his tribe has been allowed toabuse public airwaves for so long..
Chris you are extremely under-informed and are in no position to cast aspersions
Satire is protected. There was no "spreading of misinfo". Good try!

There was no satire or joke. He stated a known falsehood earnestly which would foment. Clear FCC
violation.
His statement wasn't a joke, it was a statement of fact and delivered as such.
Public airwaves require not working against the interests of the public good.
But again, nothing was done since ABC saw the problem as well.
Stop expecting your own specially funded propaganda networks - you aren't special.
Find a company to support his false propaganda and lies on cable...they have a different set of rules as they are not publicly owned.
So he was mocking libs who thought Robinson was MAGA? Nice try.
Please explain why the buyers of his show should continue to fund a guy with low viewership whose remarks cause subscription cancellations.
Condescend elsewhere.

Would you like to stop with the projections and get back on the topic I introduced?

Why do you twits always have to whatabout everything, and pretend that these cases are the same?
Oh right. Because cognitive dissonance is a bitch.
You don't think people can see through your avoidance strategy, you are wrong.
Yes, the dissonance is a problem for you.
Irony!

I do. Kimmel is not prohibited from speaking his mind.
The companies carrying his show are NOT REQUIRED to provide him with a platform.
It was a business decision based on viewership and canceled subscriptions to Disney Plus and Hulu.
He is free to proclaim his thoughts elsewhere.
If the FCC Chair didn't push his weight around do you think Disney would've suspended him?

I think they were looking for an excuse to unmoor from the sinking ship

Bingo. His monologues were obviously bad for business.

Notice through all of this that Disney/ABC has stayed mostly silent.
