Banter RDT CXCI - Time for a new RDT thread

[Miguel Sanchez]

I tells ya, all the hallmarks of authoritarian dictatorship in America right now. Not having a legitimate election in 2028 is definitely a non-zero chance.

It's gone from "You can't take Trump seriously, you have to read between the lines, he's an entertainer, you libs have Trump derangement syndrome!!!" to "He's just doing what he said he'd do!!!"

Someone who was for a time my closest friend has gone down the descent into increasingly right wing madness.

Now, there’s being conservative which while I don’t like the direction it’s gone but it’s a mindset and not my way of thought it’s a long standing one with their own foundations relative to their values.

What I can’t cop or deal with is the increasing conspiracy theorist stuff. As days go on it’s getting more and more niche.

The thing is he was the least political guy I knew.

He was in the police, went rural and has had a personality switch. Normal apolitical non religious sport buff to a mega Christian ultra conservative almost overnight.

Something must be appealing to these people but I’m not sure what it is

It's easier to blame immigrants for everything

Let's be honest though, Kimmel peaked with The Man Show.

Hardly think maga has anything to do with it

So I guess these comments by the Trump appointed FCC Chair had nothing to do with the cancellation

Kimmel pulled from air over Charlie Kirk comments, Trump celebrates

The late-night talk show's host suggested during a monologue earlier this week that Charlie Kirk's alleged killer may have been a pro-Trump Republican.

FCC chair Brendan Carr told a right-wing podcast Mr Kimmel's remarks constituted "the sickest conduct possible".

He added the FCC could move to revoke the ABC's affiliate licenses to force the organisation to punish Mr Kimmel.

"We can do this the easy way or the hard way," Mr Carr said.

"These companies can find ways to change conduct and take actions on Kimmel, or there's going to be additional work for the FCC ahead."

I find it interesting timing the ABC had its access to broadcast his meeting with Starmer pulled at the last minute after yesterday

Elsewhere a Fox News pundit calls for the homeless in America to be euthanized, and crickets

The appeal of the modern conservative movement is they offer simple solutions to complex problems, where the ultra-rich have managed to shape the narrative through manipulation of the press and social media. The indefinite suspension of a talk show host for fairly innocuous comments is the inevitable result.

RIP USA

I also think a lot of people also like the attention they get from being contrarian.

of animated dwarves because they didn’t want to hire any people of small heights

Fascinating to hear that this is apparently woke.

Correct…last I checked he wasn’t involved with Disney or the abc… stop sooking , the guy couldn’t even beat Greg Gutfeld in the ratings

The chair of the FCC who threatened to pull ABC’s licence if they didn’t sack Kimmel isn’t involved with ABC and their decision to sack Kimmel.

Gotit.

 

[Boohemian]

Apart from the fact the guy is just plain unfunny, You do know it is Disney that cancelled him don’t you? Disney…

Disney, the most left leaning woke business in the planet… the company of coloured snow whites who hates men,of animated dwarves because they didn’t want to hire any people of small heights Mary Sue’s like Rey skywalker which lobotomised all male star wars fans from enjoying the franchise anymore, Disney which gave us Mary Poppins Princess Leia.

Hardly think maga has anything to do with it

Representation of LGBT and POC in media is hardly outrageous, radical or "woke" - unless you're a neo-Nazi of course.

Completely ridiculous that you think MAGA has nothing to do with it. They're blatantly placating the MAGA mouth breathers to avoid any fall out from that crowd.

The problem is, he is, to the best of his abilities

I disagree.

Under-rated retort.

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

Come on GR22, use your noggin mate.

I reckon he’s probably already using it at full capacity, unfortunately.

Meanwhile, American media:

Surely you'd need to compare Kimmel to a comedian for it to be fair.

Surely you'd need to compare Kimmel to a comedian for it to be fair.

Also acting as if these shows primary success metric is still "how many people are turning on their TVs at 11.35pm" (or 10PM in the case of Guttfeld, which is a significant difference) in the age of YouTube and On-Demand is a real boomer take from old mate Goroyals22

That’s if you class Kimmel a comedian

If the decision to point posters to SRP for this content was taken...I'd be fine with that.
