A White woman got assassinated by a dinndo for saying All Lives Matter.

Leftist jurisdictions investigate All Lives Matter and White Lives Matter flyers as ''hate crimes''.

crickets or encouragements from the Left

The media always makes excuses for liberal political violence and repression; the 4th estate 5th columnists have been covering for commies for over a century now.

He's right, shortsighted but right.

Trump being elected was collective feedback against an authoritarian Oval Office. The fact that was was elected twice, despite all the sabotage which put a gap in his term length, show how much people are reacting to sycophants protecting their inept own.

But to try and reframe this as Trump being the authority, and a criminal, is why things like Charlie Kirk got shot. Throwing gasoline onto fire won't put out any fires.

Did David Letterman say anything Biden's board of Malinformation? The one that would explicitly censor TRUE information because it was "harmful".

That's why I said he was right, but shortsighted.

Him thinking that Trump is the be-all-and-end-all of checking systems for redundancies would require him overlooking how Trump came to be in the first place.

All that is happened here is that people are fed up being told what to think when it's clear that those doing the telling are the ones causing the problems (And have been for a long time).

If you listen carefully though he doesn't commit to anything. So perhaps he's budging those who listen verbatim to use caution going forward in their plight.

Doubt it.

Late Night has been a captured corporate institution since Johnny Carson. David Letterman's job is to make sure wrong people with wrong think don't spread their contagion to his captured audience. That's really all any of their careers were, even if they didn't try to be partisan like Jay Leno. It's just the institution itself that is corrupting.

They created the precedent with Alex Jones. If you abuse your media platform to lie about a crime, then you deserve to be lose your show and a billion dollars.

Crystal meth santa clause has a point. But a really dumb one. Framing things as everything is fine when your side fucks the country by completely ignoring it, but talking like the guy in charge now is abusing his power after all the shit they've done to him, just because he's on the other team.

This isn't a sports rivalry. More people are going to die uselessly over this bullshit when people talk like that, thinking it's perfectly okay.

You know the faggots are upset when they start digging up their old fossils to lecture and whine about one of their propagandists getting shitcanned.

So when all those celebrities made that video pledging themselves to Obama was that how it works? When those celebrities made all those videos telling people to stay at home during Covid was that sucking up to the government?

I think it is how it works you're just on the other side of it now, the friend side is a lot nicer than the foe distinction.

It’s managed media, but when it’s only the right facing censorship, it’s a good thing! Do that to the left and somehow it instantly becomes authoritarianism. Strange.

But either way, it’s not like the right is responsible for any of these people being fired. J’ws like Ellison run the show, they fire and censor whoever they want to, the right’s opinions don’t have any bearing on those decisions despite the illusion they’re painting in corporate media right now,

I think Letterman is one of the GOAT, since I grew up on him, and think Leno sucks.

He's number 2 on my list after Ferguson.

The sheer fact Letterman can say "managed media" in that clip with a straight face, tells you just how good he is at comedy and that he still got it.

I was a big fan of Letterman long ago too, before moving to Conan. He jumped the shark already in 2016 when he had Trump on and acted friendly then ambushed him to tell him his ties are made in Cambodia. It was down hill from there. He also started to reveal himself to be a huge degenerate around that time.

Letterman totally missed the point, anyone's use of Free Speech against the government would be defended by almost everyone except those on the left when in power.

It's your right to speak out against the government and its agents without there being any pushback.

Anyone who speaks out about any private person, organization or subject NOT the goverment just put themselves into play.

Free Speech absolutely has consequences when used against those who are in a position to punish you for your indiscretions, and there is nothing you can do about it.

Meh. Likearey King, I fully expected all the crazy crap from Letterman. He never really hid it, his whole career.
