How is it being funny (a subjective term) relevant?
If not being funny is cause for the FCC to banish you, how come Dane Cook, or the cast of Friends were never banished?

From FoxNews, an assessment by Bruce Springsteen that I can agree with:
Bruce Springsteen warns far-left Democrats have alienated Americans | Fox News
Bottom Line: Consistently liberal Bruce Springsteen says the Democrats blew it, and are still blowing it by supporting policies that the country as a whole, even the traditional Democratic base, can't countenance. Their whole platform consists of, "Well, at least we're not Trump."
That doesn't mean Donald Trump shouldn't be in the dumpster. He should. But running as being better than a below-sea-level standard isn't exactly the recommended way to convince people that you're the right choice.
For the life of me, I can't understand why the Democrats consistently refuse to budge off of loony policies and beat the most beatable philosophy (MAGA) and candidate (Trump) since Herbert Hoover.

I'm just thinking about how much more effectively previous administrations have suppressed free speech. I don't care for the effort, but at least they suck at it.
The Democrats are a shell of a party. With all that has happened they could have easily occupied the middle, put together a sane platform, and done quite well.
They need to remember the economy, because they are indeed stupid right now.
Both parties are (differently) broken. It's unbelievable how neither seems to be able to see the gigantic opportunity right in front of them.
Or maybe they both realize there’s enough grift to go around for everyone. None of these people are serious (except maybe guys like Fetterman and Massie.) Why would they want to change a system that has enriched them all?
Hmmm.....if only the Democrats will now listen to a New Jersey Democrat telling them what, you know, everyone else out in the hinterlands has been telling them for a half a century now.
Good luck on that one.
Btw - Bill Maher did his "new rules" segment on a similar thing, and he was 100% right. And he called out the right on it, too - with Nancy Mace sitting right there (he called her a popular porn term btw) - telling the MAGA crowd, "Find something to tell Trump NO about."
And he's not wrong, either.
I can.
"We went to college, we're smarter than you." That dripping condescension is evident from most of their candidates. Bill Clinton and Barack Obama might have felt "you know, some of these Neanderthals are insane," but they never were dumb enough to call a slice of the electorate "deplorable," either. (Yes, Trump insults folks left and right, but we all agree he's an outlier anyway). I'm sure they felt that way. Hillary's "sin" if you will wasn't calling anyone "deplorable," it was doing it on a microphone. She wasn't wrong even if the number was likely exaggerated).
And then the sociological experiments come out of the schools and into the "let's see how this would work in society," most cases of which are quite predictable.
Fifteen years from now it's gonna pay to be an attorney for the inevitable lawsuits over "I had my kid take puberty blockers at nine because I wanted my boy to be a girl."
there ain't going to be that many clients to go around
Fewer than 0.1 percent of U.S. adolescents receive gender-affirming medications, report finds
From 2018 through 2022, only 926 adolescents with a gender-related diagnosis received puberty blockers and 1,927 received hormones, suggesting that fewer than 0.1 percent of all youth in the database received these medications.

These affiliates are contractually obligated to air the networks programming. Most contracts only allow them to preempt for a specific amount of hours per year. To get around those restriction they would have to prove that it is in the public’s best interest to indefinitely preempt a show. Part of that proof though is have you aired the show before. Since Kimmel has been on the air for 20+ years, making that argument would be tough. Because he made fun of us isn’t a good legal argument.that didn't last long

I’m just saying that Sinclair and Nexstar did not have much of a choice unless they wanted a real legal battle in their hands.
