all day long because it is "entertainment" but Jimmy Kimmel cannot speculate? FCC My a**.

JUST IN: Trump FCC Chair Threatens ABC With Punishment Over Jimmy Kimmel’s Charlie Kirk Comments. You are only permitted to say things about Kirk that are pre-approved by Trump regime. Any deviation will result in Trump punishment (But pls dont call Trump fascist) www.mediaite.com/media/news/j...

How hard the wingnuts would flip the fuck out, yelling 1A and politicized federal overreach?

Of course they have no intellectual integrity so they'll say this is perfectly okay and appropriate, given the foot the shoe is on.
