Crystal Meth Santa speaks from the grave
Save Dave has no problem using a platform to spread blatant lies about a murder and is aghast an employer would take issue with that? It has been to be “authoritarianism” from government, not the lying, that is an issue?
Would any of us keep our jobs if we used the platforms our employer gave us to spread outrageous lies?

Littleman was never funny,he was a poor replacement for Carson.
I thought Letterman died.
they were not “comments” they were lies, and the Kirk estate should sue Jimmy Kimmel for 500 million for slander
Letterman was funny when he was in his 20’s
Remember covid Dave?
This is looking more and more like something ABC orchestrated. “Fire/Suspend” a loudmouth to appease the right and stoke the left. Then let has-beens scream about it all being some “authoritarian” or “fascist” “witch-hunt.”
Shut up Dave.
He broke the rules, ‘Clyde’.
Grow up.
I do not care what that creep thinks!
Sleazy old lecher.
Is that mold growing on his face?
And he violated FCC rules.
The left is winning the spin - “Kimmel was fired for his free speech” - and the right is feeding the beast - “That’s because he lied and is hateful.”
Ah, no.
ABC’s decision to pull the show came shortly after its affiliate group, Nexstar, also announced it would stop airing it effective immediately.
Nexstar, the largest station group in the country has a major merger proposal before the Trump administration - its proposed acquisition of Tegna - which must be approved by Carr.
If the merger were to go through, Nexstar would have 265 stations in 44 states and the District of Columbia, representing 80 percent of US television households, according to Deadline.
This was a business move, fueled by what seems to be an economic Sword of Damocles held by Chairman Carr. In reality, Carr gave the businesses cover to do what they always wanted to do.
Perry Sook, founder of Nexstar Media, had risen to become one of the most powerful, if least known, moguls in broadcast television. His company owns local stations from Tampa to Burlington to Portland, Oregon (and KTLA in Los Angeles), in addition to cable-news outlet NewsNation, Congressional trade The Hill and a majority stake in The CW. Sook hoped, he said, the country would soon be “eliminating the level of activist journalism out there.”

As for Kimmel violating the “public interest standard,” it’s not well-defined. You can drive a truck through it. https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/4341186/posts
They quote Letterman as if he’s some type of senior statesman weighing in on an important issue. He’s not. He’s an old has-been who lost to Leno at every turn. Republish what Leno said. That’s much more relevant.
Go back under your rock Dave, you aren’t needed here. Managed media, eh? It’s okay as long as it’s controlled by the left though.
I haven’t cared a jot what Bitterman has to say and haven’t cared since at least 2005 when he came out of the closet as a very bitter, hateful Leftists.
