People here were assuring me that it was a good thing for that FCC clown to brag that he would going to take Jimmy Kimmel down, and thus created a massive pro-free speech backlash.

Tony, you massive faggot, your claim about an FCC official "bragging" to take down Jimmy Kimmel is flat-out wrong, and here’s why.

Brendan Carr, an FCC commissioner, appeared on a YouTube podcast and noted that broadcast license holders have a duty to avoid distorting major news stories, which can be illegal under FCC rules (47 CFR § 73.1217). He suggested accountability, not a personal vendetta against Kimmel. No threats were made to ABC, and Carr later clarified at the 2025 Concordia Summit that he wasn’t targeting licenses—just flagging a potential complaint. Your "brag" narrative doesn’t hold up.

Compare this to 1994, when KPRC-TV in Houston dropped Late Night with Conan O'Brien due to abysmal ratings, lower than infomercials. No FCC involvement, just a business call by an affiliate. Similarly, Sinclair and Nexstar are preempting Kimmel’s show in 2025—not because of government pressure, but because advertisers are pulling out, forcing refunds and unsold ad slots. ABC suspended Kimmel briefly on September 17, 2025, to manage the fallout, not due to direct FCC action.

Your points unravel:

  1. Enforcing FCC rules isn’t a free speech violation; it’s about public accountability.
  2. Carr didn’t brag about “taking Kimmel down”—he discussed legal standards.
  3. The “backlash” is overblown, driven by partisan spin, not evidence of censorship.
  4. Network executives know the real issue: Kimmel’s comments tanked ad revenue, prompting preemption.

And here you are unable to recognize a manufactured moral panic as the Democrat Party and their loyalists within broadcast media download new instructions to their useful idiot NPCs.

I guess it is totally in character for massive faggot like you?
