So where are all the conservatives and libertarians and other free speech warriors screaming about freedom of speech? The government is demanding that a TV show be taken off the air because of political content. Isn't this exactly what freedom of speech is[ent]hellip[/ent]

Oh.

Right.

It only counts as freedom of speech when you use it to defend Nazis. Sorry. My bad. I should have known better.

Bee came out with an apology, and told The Daily Beast that she “deeply regrets” calling Trump a “feckless cunt.”

Right - how can you call him feckless when he has initiated so many heinous policies?

Samantha Bee’s statement was very crude. The White House demanding that TBS bend to its will because someone on TBS said something very crude about their family is appalling.

This^.

We're one night's sleep away from waking up the next morning to find that all the news channels have been replaced with Fox News.

I think I'm only slightly exaggerating.

?????? But it was Ivana she called a feckless cunt.

IANAL, but my understanding is that truthfulness is a complete defence against any charge of defamation.

You mean like daddy seducer?

Samantha Bee should be invited to the White House. You know, like the last time someone called a Presidents crush a cunt.

Samantha Bee should apologize. Ivanka is NOT feckless.

Good job Samantha Bee. Now you just have to start grabbing women by the crotch, lying about it, and funding beauty pageants. You are about 0.7% on your way to becoming a Republican President whom libertarians and conservatives will make excuses for.

Why aren’t they firing no talent Samantha Bee for the horrible language used on her low ratings show? A total double standard but that’s O.K., we are Winning, and will be doing so for a long time to come!

Looks like a demand to me.

Much of our local news has been replace by Sinclair evangelicals.

This is pretty predicable.
White House: "We are offended that enemies of the President would use such vulgar language towards a member of his family/staff!"

Rest of the world: Here are some Trump supporters.

Don2 was upset when I posted that exact same Trump quote. He called it "cherry picking". Did he down-rep you for cherry picking as well?

That looks, to me, less like a demand she be fired and more like an accusation of hypocrisy.

No, because I'm awesome and you're weird and you smell funny.

D'ya think...

It's both.
