Basically, yes. It only bothers him when Republicans do it. Enough of the double standards.
Again there is a difference between networks which have freedom to broadcast programming of their chosing and governmental interference.

'Dangerous as hell': Cruz blasts FCC's Jimmy Kimmel takedown - Live Updates - POLITICO https://share.google/ltTqrF8ZsR1t0Sfb1

Even Ted Cruz knows it is wrong.
Please provide any proof of any tweet or post from 2022 that you complained about Democrats actually censoring people ever COVID-19. Otherwise, I think it remains safe to assume you only are concerned that Republicans are doing what you were OK with Democrats doing.

Enough with the double standards.

Negative. The government owns their airways they ride on for FREE. You will play by their rules.
Trump would love to have his own state media channels that say how wonderful he is 24/7. Is that the direction we are heading by playing by the FCC rules?

Not a double standard. Show me any administration in the last 60 years that threatened to pull a broadcasting license for negative coverage of the president and I will criticize them as well.

OK, you are officially a troll now. You make broad unsubstantiated statements. When challenged to support them with evidence you change the subject. The no true Scotsman fallacy won't fly.

Get a life.

Oh Jeff? Oh Train? On the cusp of 6 months post liberation day. Jeff needs to wait 6 more months, however to know he was badly wrong.


The uninformed confuse the stock market with the economy. The economy reaches a more troublesome point, and the stock market bubble pops.

Your answer is a very long no.

A bit dramatic, don't you think? Free speech has been "threatened" forever especially by the left that silenced differing opinions by having them shut down on social media platforms.

You need to make these wild leaps to try and justify wacky statements. Remember when you thought we were going into a depression in April?? Good call, Jeff!

I would watch for lawsuits coming from the Kirk estate. His widow will either attack the people slandering him or it will get worse as they shape the narrative of her dead husband.

Oh Jeff, back when you were a Republican in early 2008, John McCain received glowing coverage from the FakeNews - they absolutely adored John during that primary campaign and before (when he would consistently work against his party). Once it was Barack vs McCain they turned on him completely and he could not cope. After he lost, the FakeNews once again embraced the fraud John McCain and celebrated him after he broke his 2016 campaign promises and voted to KEEP Obamacare.

Trump got some decent coverage in 2015 since he drove ratings and they viewed him as a joke. Once he became a serious threat they Russiagated him as best they could. Heck, Stone still falls asleep at night mumbling Russia, Russia, Russia. You should know since you are right there with him.

So Jeff, I know your a complete hypocrite so you obviously won’t support Trump, but your talk on this board says you do support the Rs as Schumer and Dems insist on an extra 1T in spending.

I hope it does shutdown

Bull ****. The Biden administration absolutely censored and cancelled people who dared to contradict their received wisdom on COVID-19. Kamala Harris absolutely wanted Trump banned from social media.

To say otherwise is either to be ignorant of the facts or a goddamn liar. Neither is a good look. This is why it is impossible to have discussions about politics any longer.
Trump was banned briefly BY THE PLATFORMS because he called for an insurrection at the Capitol. That was not due to Harris.
