It's Hitler all over again...and we thought it never could happen here. Wake up people! ICE, book bans, detention camps, high prices on everything, starving our Military, working w/ other Dictators, Lies by the ton daily, stealing our money for his statues etc.

Brendan Carr: Now do Fox News. Sure, you're going to say that the scarcity principle was never updated to include cable in FCC regulation. Why not? Better, why hasn't regulation been updated to exempt OTA networks when their content is competing in streaming spaces?

and when it was placed on Colbert’s YouTube page it got many more viewers than if CBS had aired it, plus it was a longer interview, the same will happen with the Kimmel interview & this isn’t on ABC it’s Kimmel knowing the interview would be used against ABC by the FCC

Invite Paxton~ ask him about 🚩The wealth he’s accumulated on his taxpayer salary 🚩His “Christian values” given his recent trip with his “mistress abroad” 🚩How he ensured he was never tried for securities fraud despite the indictment 🚩His impeachment Then give Talarico equal time.

It’s what happens in a fascist country. Forbes is guilty as sin for having elevated Drumpf, the scam clown, since the 1980s, when Forbes placed him on its list of the richest people. Drumpf wasn’t even a centimillionaire, never mind a billionaire.

It's just a lawless fascist greedy felon adjudicated rapist getting away with more unbelievable nazi shit like masked agents kidnapping people. This foray is nothing compared to the human trafficking. I hate everything

The US has entered the Russian-style media environment, where companies are either pressed to join the "common messaging model" like CBS, or pushed out of the market with dubious claims and accusations. This should be obvious by now.

I am disgusted that the FCC is interfering with FREE SPEECH! But Jimmy Kimmel is SMART & he will be interviewing James Talarico on YouTube instead!!! Talarico is so much better than that CRIMINAL Ken Paxton! It was his own Republican employees who turned Paxton in to be impeached! Next time Convict!

Kimmel said “out of consideration” for ABC’s local affiliates in Texas “who would have to deal with this nonsense,” his interview with Talarico will not air on TV and be posted on his official YouTube channel instead. Tonight, folks. www.youtube.com/@JimmyKimmel...

FCC regulated radio is full of hate, racism, incitement of violence for 30 years. FCC should be shutting down these corp owned stations and not the sources that report the truth like Kimmel, Colbert! "They" call it "conservative talk radio" but it's nothing but lies, hate, racism! tiny.cc/g09a101

I love how terrified Republicans are, nationwide, about losing their grip on power. The Republican party won't survive Donald Trump. They're going to go the way of their predecessor, the Whigs.

You have got to be kidding me! #DonaldTrump is a mere mortal like the rest of the world. 🌎 Yes men/women, is just “instant gratification” the value of promises made for Trump’s demands will vanish with him. Your future? No respect, no moral integrity, is it worth it?

Forbes is by far the biggest data miner for the day! 27 trackers on one click! Why doen't Kimmel provide equal time? Just interview a totally Bat-shit crazy MAGAt for comparison. There are plenty of 'em!

DON’T EVER BELIEVE HIM “DJT” & HIS PROMISES ! He needs “More than” 75.000.000 voters x US $5.000 = US$ 375.000.000.000 : one way or another you will soon or later pay the price one way or the other ; “HE HAS TO WIN BEFORE YOU GET YOUR US$5000 “+” Congress approval …. VOTE 💙💙💙💙💙💙👇👇👇

Meaning it will get more views than it would had he aired it. Thanks FCC. You are doing a great job pushing D's campaigns to the top of the minds of everyone. In your evil intent, you do good.

Most people commenting have no understanding of the law. And Kimmel does not have to do this either under the law. It’s a good stunt to push back against jawboning from the FCC. And he makes it clear it’s a courtesy to their local affiliates impacted & dealing with “the nonsense” from Carr.

Dodging the FCC equal time rule seems short-sighted with Paxton. They have to offer equal time- If Paxton declines the offer isn't that on him? Imagine if he did accept- it would be a blockbuster opportunity for Kimmel to ask ALL the questions. Missed opportunity, IMO.🤔

Kimmel does not have to do this under the law. His show is exempt. It’s a good stunt to push back against jawboning from the FCC. And he makes it clear it’s a courtesy to their local affiliates impacted & dealing with “the nonsense” from Carr.

Is America now Russia? Talarico better not stand near any balconies. Ok, this is another form of voter suppression. ABC needs to stand up, air it and fight any FCC retaliation. Your congress, SCOTUS, MSM, many universities, and big law/corporations have all capitulated to a mob-type dictator.

The station cannot censor the candidate’s content. “Equal opportunities” means roughly comparable audience reach and desirability, not necessarily the exact same minute-for-minute slot.

If a station lets one legally qualified candidate for public office “use” its facilities (an identifiable on-air appearance), it must offer comparable time and placement to other legally qualified candidates running for the same office.

The FCC’s “Equal Time” rule (officially the Equal Opportunities requirement) comes from Section 315 of the Communications Act of 1934. It applies to over-the-air radio and television broadcast stations.

I have to say, candidates should be getting equal time on television; interview one, interview them all. Journalists know how to ask questions that matter; if they are not doing that, if it is just publicity, then the interview should not happen. That is not self-censorship, it is playing fair.

I really don’t consider that show news, as much as we have learned that network news is little more than the crime of the day, sports, and weather. Fairness Doctrine is long gone and much lamented in some ways, even though its extreme application distorted information.

I’m not sure. Didn’t the fairness doctrine only apply to news shows? I don’t remember talk shows requiring equal time. It’s seems like censorship of the Op-Ed pages. Ohhhh, right, Jeff Bezos.

This has nothing to do with the Fairness Doctrine, which was abolished in 1987. This is about the equal time rule, a law enacted by Congress, that still exists and applies only to political candidates. Until Carr came along, the FCC included talk shows in the exemption for "bona fide news interview"

The entirety of U.S. MSM are far-right white- nationalist pedoTrump-supporting trash. Fascism is here and 90% of Americans don’t care, as long as they can keep ordering sh*t from N*zi Bezos
