I havenn't yet, but I'm sure I will. Have you seen any content about or by James Talarico? There's a Kimmel interview that Trump's FCC "prevented" from running on regular television on youtube. Hoping he can flip this seat.

[goaded]

That's the one. Did it get screwed up somehow?

That's the one. No it didn't get screwed up really. The network announced at the time it was done that they would not air it on the network because of Trump stooge and FCC chairman Brendan Carr's warning that it would violate equal coverage guidelines since Paxton had not been interviewed (implying there "might" be a punitive lawsuit to follow. SO just as Talarico's interview with Colbert awhile back was prevented, so was this one. No partisan favoritism to see here 🙄. Both were posted to youtube instead. Just the Trump intimidation machine at work.

Not to mention that this slimy crook Paxton is running away from every microphone.

[Ill_made_Knight]

@DryGermanGuy slimy crook is accurate. Marshals went to serve him a subpoena at some point and he had his wife stall him while he jumped in his truck and fled. She's now divorcing him on "biblical grounds" though.

there is something called the "Fairness Doctrine: which is what you are referring to.

[Ill_made_Knight]

@exitseven the fairness doctrine was removed from FCC doctrine at least ten years ago, and I've seen it said that late night talk shows were rarely ever held to it at any rate. Brendan Carr is a Trump installed stooge and it's a well known fact that it goes after people that it doesn't like, *see Jimmy Kimmel, see Stephen Colbert, see 60 minutes, see CBS news* David Ellison has control of how much US media now? and trying to acquire paramount (CNN) so that he can castrate them as he has done CBS *see Bari Weiss*. Trump has even been heard to say something to the effect that he can't wait until this happens. How much local media is run by Sinclair? These people sue to intimidate and silence and then try to get those that they dislike the most terminated if they won't agree to be cuckolded. It's a widespread and undeniable strategy at this point.. How long until tRump leans in and spews garbage while pointing a finger at Kaitlan Collins again? He can't help himself. It's out of hand and needs to be put to a stop.

CBS should have been prevented from renewing their license and ABC is on shaky ground. There were TV stations thay did not get their licenses renewed for not providing enough locally produced content. The 60 Minutes show lied to the whole country to try and pull Biden across the finish line. Then the lied about that he was not senile. That was definitely not in the public interest.

Thanks for MHO

if President Trump censored this , how come it was on network TV? Sounds like another lie to me. Democrats cannot win unless they lie. Not Republicans, they actually have a record that they can be proud of.

[goaded]

It wasn't on network TV, and if you'd just watched the first 42 seconds, you'd know that.

It was only on YouTube because Kimmel wanted to protect local ABC broadcasters from being closed down by the government.

[exitseven]

So how did Trump censor this? Jimmey Kimmel is an asshole. ABC probably knew that ABC could get sued again and have to pay a big settlement like they did with Stephy.

[goaded]

Trump used the power of the government to stop the Talarico interview from being shown on network TV. Strangely, Cruz can be interviewed on ESPN with no problems.

[exitseven]

Can you find any proof of this>? It is not true.

[goaded]

Just watch the first minute of the video. Of course it's true.

[exitseven]

@goaded I watched it Jimmy Kimmel was lying. ABC is on thin ice and Kimmel is on even thinner ice. Trump did not make any decision that would have kept thids off the air. It was aBC and Kimel's cowardice to stand up for what they believe. even though it might cost them

[goaded]

So, you admit that broadcasting the interview would probably have cost them (and their broadcasters) money because the government had threatened them for doing for Talarico what they'd previously done for Trump.

Does that sound like equal treatment under the law to you?

The YouTube approach is a safe way to avoid being censored without having people and companies destroyed by the heavy hand of the government.

By the way, what's your opinion of Trump saying you should "cheat like hell"?

[exitseven]

The fake news reports negative stories about President Trump 90% of the time. They reported positeve stories about Biden even though he was the worst president we ever had 90% of the time. is that equal treatment?

[Ill_made_Knight]

@goaded he's not worth the typing time. He thinks the current $7.00 a gallon diesel is Bidens fault from way back in 2024. NOTHing to do with the Iran stupidity. That $7 diesel is gonna MURDER prices on everything by the way. Congratulations, and have the day you voted for.

[exitseven]

Thanks for the MHO

[itss_lily]

yes. i saw it, can't wait to finally have a democrat senator after so long💙

[goaded]

Talarico seems to be a Christian Christian, his opponent was impeached by his own party and breaks election laws!

[Ill_made_Knight]

You voting for Hinojosa for governor too right?

[itss_lily]

@Ill_made_Knight ofc

[msc545]

Yes, very excellent.
