The Real Reason Kimmel Got the Boot

This week, ABC deleted Jimmy Kimmel of his waves to distribute the disinformation of the assassination of Charlie Kirk. The American Court of Appeal for the DC circuit said Donald Trump had violated the procedural rights Lisa Cook When he removed it from the federal reserve in a social post of truth. Stephen Miran won the Senate confirmation and participated in the FOMC meeting this week. And the SEC said that it could remove the requirement of quarterly business reports.

The ABCs of the suspension of Jimmy Kimmel

A is for affiliates: Jimmy Kimmel was Started waves of the ABC network Indefinitely this week after criticizing the way President Trump and the Republicans responded to Charlie Kirk’s deadly shooting, saying: “We struck new stockings during the weekend with the gang Maga trying desperately to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as something other than one of them.” He also made fun of Trump’s mourning process.

There is a controversy as to whether it was a lie or simply a disinformation. Many on the left apparently believe that one of the main lights of the young American right wing was smothered by other American right -handers. Heather Cox Richardson, of which you probably have not heard of, but benefits from a huge substitution – and undoubtedly incredibly lucrative – to undergo background, said to his fans: “But in fact, the alleged shooter was not someone on the left. The alleged killer, Tyler Robinson, is a young white man of a republican, a family of rifles, who seems to have embraced the Far Right, the Republican, the family with a radical pistol. “Jemele Hill, a writer contributing to the Atlantic, says it “Charlie Kirk was probably the victim of a white supremacist gang.”

You may not find plausible that people of ordinary intelligence and some experience in the world can believe this manufacture, but friends with more knowledge on the left than we make sure that many do it really. Or, at least, did it. The last line, it seems, is just that we will never really know what was in the heart of the assassin. At this point, it is probably the safest to say that we just don’t know Why Kimmel used his national platform to broadcast a lie.

The main owners of stations – including Sinclair and Nexstart, controlling more than 60 ABC affiliation stations – compared to the affront of Kimmel and threatened to “pre -empt his show indefinitely”. Advertisers began to contact the network expressing concerns. And when the leaders of Disney Dana Walden and Bob Iger I discovered that Kimmel’s planned answer was going to be doubled With his attacks against the “Gang Maga”, they drew the catch.

B is for Brendan Carr: Brendan Carr, president of the Federal Communications Commission, reprimanded ABC in an interview with the podcast, reminding them that his right to use public waves is accompanied by legal obligations to serve the public interest. “The FCC could assert a strong argument that it is a kind of intentional effort to mislead the American people about a very fundamental fundamental fact, a very important question,” said Carr said Benny Johnson.

Here are some other quotes from Carr about the Kimmel disorder:

• “Frankly, when you see things like that – I mean, look, we can do it the simplest way or the road to the hard.”
• “Disney must see a change here. But individual conductive stations that take their content, it is time for them to intensify and say that, you know, garbage – to the extent that this is what descends the pipe in the future – is not something which, in our view, responds to the needs of our local communities.”
• “There are calls for Kimmel’s dismissal. I think you could certainly see a path to go for the suspension on this subject. ”

The left immediately decided that even if the motivations of the kirk murder remained impenetrable to them, the grounds of ABC were completely obvious and that it was simply A case of state action by intimidation. Carr’s remarks, they say, have frightened so much that he just had to suspend Kimmel. ABC’s statements on his reasons to suspend Kimmel were only lies to cover his cowardice. Alternatively, the left has advanced the idea that Nexstart only lies on his objections to Kimmel’s remarks and really does not make a carr task because she wishes the approval of the FCC for a planned acquisition of another television channel operator.

It is for capitalism: Underlying all of this The commercial model of television at the end of the evening is seriously broken. Person under 35 is looking at these actors interviews television and cinema actors. Young people do not even consider actors as “stars” in a significant sense, preferring to preserve their admiration for influencers of the digital media. In one way or another, television at the end of the evening disappears.

The end of the evening talk shows started as Relatively naked businessWhich made them inexpensive to produce. Think about Johnny Carson‘s Tonight show With its simple desktop configuration, basic lighting and small staff who often included two or three writers. The guests seemed mainly to promote their work, often receiving any compensation beyond advertising.

This is no longer the case. The host wages alone represent a massive change. Stephen Colbert,, Jimmy FallonAnd Jimmy Kimmel would have had contracts for $ 15 million or more per year. Production costs have also exploded. Modern emissions have developed sets, sophisticated lighting systems, larger teams and a huge writer staff. Customers are often paid tens of thousands of dollars, and musical customers can do even more than that.

The irony is that despite these massive budgetary increases, the advertising revenue model has become more difficult with Cordmates and fragmented audiences. Thus, the networks spend much more to produce content that reaches a smaller and less precious audience than the mass public than these shows are in the past.

Kimmel could have hastened its exit By broadcasting lies on the Kirk assassin, but he walked towards the end long before this week.

Lisa Cook forever

A panel of three judges on the circuit court DC rendered a divided judgment which authorized Lisa Cook to participate in this week’s Federal Reserve meeting. The two majority judges judged that President Trump had violated cook procedural rights by not giving him enough notice and the possibility of an audience before withdrawing it as the governor of the Fed. Although it was represented as a backhand for the Trump administration – which has appealed the decision– The idea that Cook’s work welcomes the question of whether Trump gave him time to plead his case before announcing “you are dismissed” probably does not bring him much comfort.

Stephen Miran lonely dowry

Stephen Miran won confirmation from the Senate on Monday evening and sworn as the governor of the federal reserve in time for the meeting of the Federal Open Market (FOMC) committee of this week. As expected, he voted against the reduction in the basic point of the Fed, because he preferred a greater cut. He also managed to create the Most of the plot of non -anonymous points By saying that he thought that the Fed should reduce the rates of 150 base points by the end of the year.

Do not show them the neighborhood

The idea that Quarterly report required was a malicious force on the American economy has existed for at least as long as the requirement itself. Critics have accused that he encourages short -term reflection among managers and business investors. So when Donald Trump approved the deletion of the requirement, this reform was universally adopted.

I’m kidding. The usual suspects have instantly decided that it would cause a crowd of diseases and destroy the US stock market. “Wall Street is alarmed on Trump finishing quarterly results,” said Bloomberg.

He has never really made much sense to demand companies as diverse as those negotiated on US public procurement to follow the same financial information calendar. In fact, it is very likely that the rule was initially implemented in 1970 for the benefit of Wall Street analysts and great conglomerates who had an influential politically at the time. After more than half a century of homogenized declaration requirements, it is It is time to allow different traits for different actions.
