I hope the media comes to regret this incredibly transparent pivot to the right. There's not a ton you can do, but I'm definitely not going to be in a rush to support any of them

unless the first thing a new government gonna do is broke up every fucking news station there is.

No, I don't think media gonna regret shit. They are getting reward for it, as matter of fact.

What would be the justification for breaking up ABC? Just to make it fail as a business for the crime of going "right-wing" by suspending a talk show host, somebody they could just fire if they really wanted to and owe no explanation to anybody because he's an employee?

Benji said on The Bire Live! on Monday, "We had some new lows over the weekend with the BLUEMAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and with everything they can to score political points from it."

[Gamegirl Nostalgia]

Do you think the writing room will be fired because Jimmy being removed implies he writes his own jokes and we all know that's not true.

[benji]

I love that they think ABC did this to appease Trump or some shit, rather than the more likely scenario that the affiliates which ABC doesn't own complained and probably complained because they're the ones who get all the calls from dummies who would complain about this kind of stuff. So they want to punish and break up ABC because it doesn't have monopoly control over its station affiliates (which don't have monopolies and have the oligarchies they do because the government literally mandates this despite it being unnecessary) even though breaking up ABC would make the affiliates and conservative complainers even more powerful like they used to be.

It's like they have some kind of fetish for coming up with "solutions" that would always make the problems they're upset about worse.

Crazy how Andor got made

[Gamegirl Nostalgia]

Maybe next time wait for the facts and not push the idea that a guy who killed Kirk due to his love for his trans girlfriend was team maga.

I wonder if MarvelEra will boycott Disneys upcoming slop over this? Doubt it. And it's why Disney is fine with this.

Do the Nazis at Disney know they renewed this for a fifth season?!?

Willard R. Abbott Elementary School is a predominantly black Philadelphia public school where a documentary crew is recording the lives of teachers working in underfunded, mismanaged schools. Conditions at the school are harsh and most teachers quit after their second year.

Governor JB Pritzker
A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say.

This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand.

All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

As I was saying, the Republicans REALLY overplay their hands here.

Why? Jimmy tried to make the murder more political by blaming MAGA for being the one to pull the trigger? 

And why y'all posting the take of some former AIPAC stooge?

Can't wait to see what Jeff is gonna do. Will his love of all things MCU override his need to punch Nazi chuds and Nazi chud sympathizers? 

[Nintex]

Kimmel made the same "he only cares about the ballroom" joke we all did and he didn't even invoke the bromance with Xi.

He gushes over John Cena in Peacemaker season 2 and even made the OT. You know, the same John Cena who is fine with alleged rapist and sex trafficker Vince Mcmahon.

[DavidCroquet]

They created an echo chamber so airtight that I think they genuinely believe there is nothing worthy of comment about saying that the shooter is a full-fledged MAGA republican on air to millions of viewers.

The very, very few posters who dare to point out that, at this point, it is absurd to believe that the shooter was anything other than a cis ally who took up arms in defense of trans people are doing so with a level of thin-ice-walking delicacy that makes a polar bear look like a rhinoceros.

First they came for the multi-millionaire late night hosts and I did not speak out because I was not a multi-millionaire late night host...

OH NO NOT JIMMY 

HOW WILL HE SURVIVE?!

Where's the outrage bluesky post for the POC journalist who got fired, Pritzker?

Jews = White

I hope none of y'all think this guy is on your side. Say her name! Karen Attiah!

Nep and Princess Bubblegum's been surprisingly absent in threads you'd think they would be quite active in. Did B-Dumbs wisely tell them to shut the fuck up before they get the FBI called on ERA

[benji]

A lot of people in that thread are forgetting that:
1. Disney is a private company, they can do what they want.
2. Freedom of speech doesn't mean freedom from consequences.
3. Some third slogan I'm forgetting.

it's not cancel culture, it's consequences for their actions.

[Boredfrom]

I still don’t think was worth the suspension given how much misinformation is floating around and the fact that the cronie at FCC pretends that is worth suspending licenses. 

I understand why they did, and I understand why ERA will look at another way if it said something that piss them off personally. But

The shooter was literally following the advice users, mods, and admins said needed to happen. They are just shocked at the extreme backlash and consequences following their advice unleashed. So, yeah, they were in an extreme bubble that just got violently popped.

[Gamegirl Nostalgia]

Jimmy's a public figure with a platform to millions, Boredfrom! HE SHOULD HAVE KNOWN BETTER! 

Democrats are NOT the party of fake news! He stepped out of line!

It's telling that Era moderation haven't disavowed his actions publicly in a statement to the press.

Nexstar is the country's largest affiliate:

The company is the largest television station owner in the United States, owning 197 television stations across the U.S., most of which are affiliated with the four major U.S. television networks and MyNetworkTV in markets as large as New York City and as small as San Angelo, Texas. It also operates all of the stations owned by certain affiliates such as Mission Broadcasting and Vaughan Media, under local marketing agreements to satisfy existing regulations set in place by the Federal Communications Commission.

They also own The CW (after CBS's fire sale), NewsNation (which has lots of former CNN/etc. people) and are in the midst of trying to expand their empire:

On August 19, 2025, Nexstar announced its intent to acquire Tegna for $6.2 billion; the acquisition would give it 265 stations in total, serving 80% of U.S. television households.

So the FCC won't let me be
Or let me be me, so let me see
They tried to shut me down on MTV
But it feels so empty without me
So come on and dip, bum on your lips
Fuck that, cum on your lips and some on your tits
And get ready, 'cause this shit's about to get heavy
I just settled all my lawsuits (Fuck you, Debbie)

our hearts go to jimmy in these times of need. stay safe!

I'm surprised that one person in the writer's room didn't say "can we hold this joke til it is more clearly confirmed???"

MAGAtards DO try to deflect when it's a run of the mill white guy/right wing shooter type, so it's not like they wouldn't have the chance to use it if that turned out to be true. And if the opposite turned out to be the case, wow, look at that, we all still have jobs!

Wow, you siding with the RUPERT MURDOCH Nazi propaganda now?

[Gamegirl Nostalgia]

Cancel your shit and leave explicit feedback as to why.

I have a 5 year old, we will manage without it.

Same. I kept it to rewatch some Marvel stuff but that's it. Whatever pops up Ill figure out alternative ways to watch, it feels stupid to give them ten bucks a month to help feed whatever conservative friendly pivot they have planned (Guttfield on ABC!).

Why are you even watching Marvel films from this point on? If people can give up Harry Potter and not play the Wizard Game, you can go without your Marvel films. Participating in Marvel film discussion is just as bad as paying for the product.

BAN 👏 DISNEY 👏 THREADS 👏

edit: Also Microsoft, I don't know if you've heard but they're funding a genocide. Staff don't care though.

I bet you it was precisely at least one clueless dude in the writer’s room pushing for the joke as hard as any ERA poster.

[HaughtyFrank]

Firing Kimmel is bullshit but what he said was also objectively wrong information and I'm not sure RE has even acknowledged that. Should have been just worth a correction though.

Anyway, it's still funny that the people who kept posting the "we're just showing you the door" comic are now concerned about free speech.
