Charlie Kirk shot dead today

[EagerBeaver]

Did you read the article? The only thing close to Kimmel telling his superiors how to do their job is this -

"Kimmel planned to address Carr’s remarks during the episode Wednesday.
He spoke with Dana Walden, co-chair of Disney Entertainment, about it before the show, The Wall Street Journal reported Thursday evening, citing people familiar with the matter. Walden and other senior executives thought Kimmel’s approach could make the case worse, the Journal reported."

That seems pretty standard. It's actually pretty responsible and respectful of him to discuss his plans with the bosses. I don't tell my bosses how to do their job but they actually do expect me to come up with ways we could be doing our job better/more efficient.

That's your spin and narrative on how it went down. I can read between the lines. I think that when Kimmel's superiors told him to bag his plans, he pushed back in a profane and insubordinate way, and then they fired him. You really think that the whole story is being reported? There was a fight. Kimmel did not win it. He miscalculated the value of his input.

This is how Hollywood operates. It is a whole lot of behind the scenes battles of egos.

This shows what Charlie Kirk was all about more than anything. An article about a message received by one of his political opponents by that opponent:

AKA - make stuff up to fit your narrative.

I'm going off the article you posted. If you want to write an opinion piece based on nothing, just do that instead.

All that shows is that Van Jones wants to soak up some of the spotlight while he can and be in the Con's good graces in case things go really south.

It has no such authority per the Commissioner:

FCC commissioner: ‘We don’t have the authority’ to retaliate against broadcasters

Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Commissioner Anna Gomez said Thursday that the independent regulatory agency does not “have the authority” to retaliate against broadcasters over what they choose to run on air. “That’s exactly the point, because we don’t have the authority to do this...

ABC fired Kimmel, and I believe they took into consideration many other factors besides his actual "free speech". Based on that article I think a huge reason why he was fired was trying to tell his superiors how they should do their jobs- in short, ego and insubordination. Do any of you tell your superiors or management how they should be doing their jobs?

Doiesn't really matter what's legal or not in the Trump world (or for others at times)... move first, deal with the courts later is his modus. Luckily the highest court in the land is in his pocket.

No it's called I am not being a sheep, being spoon-fed and believing everything that is put out by the media. I am reading between the lines of what I read which is what every person with at least half a brain should be doing.

There is some truth to that, but I have no doubt about the veracity of the message he published.
