Apparently Sinclair Media stations (the nation's largest ABC provider) will be airing an hour long Charlie Kirk tribute during the former Kimmel Show slot. 

He dared saying that the Republicans were using Charlie Kirk's death to score political points. Which is blindingly obviously true.

And they prove him wrong by scoring political points.

Yeah. Twitter was never used by political radicals.

Meanwhile Steam was in the news over here previously for potentially radicalizing groups and hate speech ... thought it was all racism/nazis.

HoI?

And many more. You know the type - nazi avatars, racist quotes etc. Probably mostly some edgy kids doing edgy kid stuff, but also true believers mixed into those groups.

Jimmy Kimmel show cancelled by ABC, because of this:

During his Monday evening monologue, Kimmel suggested Kirk's alleged killer, Tyler Robinson, might have been a pro-Trump Republican. "The MAGA Gang (is) desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it," Kimmel said. "In between the finger-pointing, there was grieving."

Good luck yanks  You're really speed-running towards that wall. Yikes.

Jimmy Kimmel, famously one of the edgiest of TV personalities.

I assume this will have a rather chilling effect on media in general.

I read the book some years ago. It was thoroughly entertaining and an interesting ground level view into the subculture, but I agree it doesn't have much professional distance to the subject matter (even though he does point out that he was always an outsider within their group).

Mass shooting makes the front page and an inside fold.  Slashing gets page 8.  There's a reason for that.

"Your honor, I file a motion to dismiss the murder charges against my client.  The event in question was only reported on page 8 of a newspaper."

There is no ruling, the courts are closed.  The client has already been renditioned and executed without trial.

Want to know the meaning of woke.  This is it.  Wake up!

La patrie en danger.

Once again celebrating the memory of Free Speech Charlie by suppressing expression.

For Guller & Co. - this is what real cancel culture actually looks like, with the full power and might of the federal government behind it. Real, literal cancellation.

Just because GOP does it with far less restraint and with more government involvement doesn't mean that the cancel culture imposed by the left wasn't a real cancel culture.  Just because a school mass shooting happens doesn't mean that someone getting their throat slashed isn't a real murder.

Yeah but you're in the hall trying to wave down kids during an active shooting to tell them that a knife attack would be just as bad.
