It would be disturbing enough if Kimmel's show had been pulled (at the FCC's behest, no less) for speaking ill of Charlie Kirk.

It would be disturbing enough if Kimmel's show had been pulled (at the FCC's behest, no less) for speaking ill of Charlie Kirk. But the monologue wasn't even about Kirk. It was about the hypocrisy and opportunism of those using Kirk's murder to advance a right-wing narrative.
Comedy can be a sharp weapon, but this was, frankly, hardly the stuff of Lenny Bruce.
We are living in very dangerous times.

Gilligan's Island - hardly the first thing that comes to mind when talking about edgy social commentary - named the shipwrecked boat the "Minnow" as a direct dig at then-FCC chair Newton Minow. Minow had famously referred to TV programming as a "vast wasteland", and this was their way of thumbing their nose at him.
Someone needs to name something similarly small and feckless after (current FCC chair and comedy critic) Brendan Carr.

It is, of course, utterly fitting that the mascot of ABC's parent company is a mouse, the rodent that symbolizes cowardice and timidity.

Hanno chiuso lo show di Jimmy Kimmel per una frase su Kirk. Ma l’America non era mica il paese della libertà di parola? O della libertà in generale? Non ditemi che era una facciata.

@ossimorosa posso confermare che a ridere cosí fanno male gli addominali

Figlia minore quando ride tantissimo da farsi venire le lacrime dice che ride a crepapancia. E secondo me è bellissimo, più bello di crepapelle.

Io forse devo smetterla di farmi venire il sangue amaro per la politica statunitense. Ma voglio urlarlo una volta prima di iniziare a stare zitta.
Free speech, censura, cancel culture finché va bene a loro, dopo di ché l'unico a subire conseguenze è Jimmy Kimmel.Fa tutto così schifo. Fatico ad essere ottimista.

@matz I francesi hanno un alunga tradizione. Qualcuno starà già affilando le ghigliottine.
In Italia al massimo staranno caricando il telefono cosí può dirgli cosa devono fare.
