It's not the least bit surprising you've forgotten all your faux outrage about censorship. Or how you've mischaracterized the situation by omitting (either by accident or design) the FCC's involvement in Kimmel getting sacked.

You don't know how adds work on the internet, do you?Yeah I'm sure the US advertizers are really loosing sleep over the missing Russian viewers/buyers.Show was losing money becasue I was watching it for free (with no adds).
Yes, Youtube in Russia runs with no addsBlame war on Russia.
Youtube does not earn any money in Russia.
Well, I am pretty sure CBS earn some money on youtube.
The one US started.

Yes, I keep hearing that he said “horrible things about Charlie Kirk’s death” but I actually haven’t heard him say anything of the sort.
The offending sentence seems to be that Kimmel said that the MAGAs were frantically trying to paint Robinson as anything other than them.
Which they interpret as Kimmel lying that the shooter was a MAGA person.

Ar least get your own dumb opinions, for fuck's sake. We all have computers, if we want to go see what Fox and friends are saying today we can just go over there and see.
Even Ted fucking Cruz thinks this is censorship:

Wow! ABC might have just replaced Kimmel's show with a show people might actually want to watch, but were afraid of blowback from Kimmel's microscopic audience. So instead they abruptly canceled Kimmel, kowtowing to illegal fascist interference; and they did this to keep their respected corporate image.
I suppose they furthered this clever ploy by encouraging Kimmel to bad-mouth the Maggots and urged Trump, Carr and other key Maggots to watch the show's opening monologue. Clever!
Yeah. That sure sounds exactly like how it played out. One has to admire the way Disney/ABC handled this to come out smelling like a rose.
Unfounded gibberish? Check!
No attempt to substantiate the gibberish? Check!
Knowing the only response would be useless sixth-grade-level whines, no Infidel bothers to ask wtf the claim is? Check!
Yes, this is our dear SwizzKid showing off his Maggot credentials.

Comedians and writers of humor have commented on politics for centuries. Humor is a powerful way to educate. No, political commentary is not a prerequisite for comedy, anymore than dancing is a necessity for a singer. But the best comedians have not been bashful about revealing their political feelings. Mark Twain, H.L. Mencken, Will Rogers, and even Benjamin Franklin were humorists who wrote much about politics. Closer to the present, Mort Sahl and George Carlin were top comedians who specialized in discussing politics.
I watched many episodes of Johnny Carson decades ago, but about all I remember of him now is "he was the guy he used to bend out of view to take snorts of cocaine even when on camera." Stephen Colbert and Jon Stewart have given us rather more substance to remember them by.
We can see that you, as one who admires Trump, think that financial gain should be the only motive for a comedian or TV talk-show host. But those of us with a broader view of human motivation are repulsed by the selfish greed that motivates adherents to Trumpism.
And especially discouraging is that you treat the "partisanship" today as similar in quality to the D-vs-R partisanship of the 20th century. To you, @RVonse , Trump and his merry band of criminals and fascists are just another instantiation of the Eisenhower, Reagan or Bush Administrations.
The U.S. is mutating before our eyes into a banana republic not unlike Myanmar, Iran, Hungary, Saudi Arabia, El Salvador or Russia. And this transformation is proceeding at a pace much faster than even pessimists expected. And yet, as we witness even here at IIDB where most posters have 95+ IQs, millions of Americans don't see it, even now. Where do you all get your news? Alex Jones, QAnon, Karoline Leavitt and idiots_are_us.com ?

YOU don't understand how 'free' content on the internet is monatized. They are watching YOU. Your viewing habbits. and selling data about you.

Oh come now, i know you haven’t forgotten Brandon’s administration trying to suppress the laptop story (you obsessed about it) or raging against “misinformation” about Covid on facebook etc.

lol, all this because two late night shows that hardly anyone watched were canceled?

Yeah right Swiz. All this because of that.
Libs are ALL about late night TV shows nobody watched. Just like Republitards are all about getting homeless people locked up, deported, converted to Soylent Green or getting them the fuck off Swizzle’s doorstep by any other means.
These are the things that certain foreigners and domestic idiots often believe to be of paramount importance to Americans.

No 'all this' is because some right wing loudmouth that only rightwingers listen to, got killed by a rigntwinger from a different faction of the right wing (gropers?).

Gropers? 
I think you mean groypers. And where is the evidence for this?

No evidence. Just one of several clames about the assassin.
What the hell are groypers anyway? I haven't kept up with right-wing idology.

Oh sheesh! Like we live in a world that cares about evidence anymore. If that were true Kimmel wouldn’t have lost his job.

I'm not really sure myself. I had never heard of it until I saw some people talking about it on this forum after his death. I believe you will find some info on it if you reread the first few pages of postings on the Charlie Kirk thread. Or just google it, I guess.

Behave yourself, the writing was on the wall for these shows just by the way the broadcasting industry has moved to streaming.

A groyper is a Nick Fuentes fan boy. Right-wing nearly as bad as they come. I don't think that there is much evidence that he's a groyper.
