That is not what you said.
You said Trump can legally put as much pressure as he wants.
No by virtue of his position, he cannot. He IS the government.

Of course he can. And he just did.
But the networks make the final decision whether to fire Kimmel or not
Its fair to mention the genocide. Harris chose to lose to trump instead of listening to her base and calling for a ceasefire. You can't blame voters, you have to blame the candidate, the party and the lobbyists that made her the choice against trump. Even this week she is being called out during her book tour for this very thing.
Its fair to criticize trump for bailing out Argentina when they did what he is doing to the US, its fair to criticize him for enabling genocide and its fair to criticize Biden/Harris for the same thing. Its all the same systemic crap that is turning the US into a shithole country.
Wrong. You continously prove that you have no clue what you're talking about.
The FCC sets sets rules for disclosing sponsors, emergency broadcasts, and content regarding obscenity and decency.
It has the power to enforce those rules (which has historically been done through fining networks).

- Kimmel made an innocuous joke about Trump.
- Trump was offended and had his henchman Carr, threaten the network.
- Kimmel was subsequently suspended.
Trump misused his position as President and sent his henchman after the network, which led to Kimmel's suspension.
Doesn't matter what the FCC can or cannot do.
Carr threatened to "explore remedies" and if the FCC wished I am sure they can make life very difficult for ABC.
In any case threatening any repercussion, for speech that is not illegal, is an attack on free speech.

"Essentially broadcasters do not have the full First Amendment rights that the rest of us have," says Brent Skorup, legal fellow with the libertarian Cato Institute.

And the President cannot use his position to infringe on Kimmel's first amendment rights, which is what he tried to do.

You mean they asked twitter to remove COVID misinformation during a pandemic?
That is not an attack on free speech.
Misinformation, nonsense and bullshit should be banned.
Yeah, but this is the news that really matters
Of course it did.Yeah, but this is the news that really matters
Tariffs tend to increase prices and therefore expenditures.
Also lower imports.
So GDP artificially looks higher.

Did you read the entire article or just the headline?Yeah, but this is the news that really matters
Another strong quarter?
The US labor market is slowing and consumer sentiment is declining again but, so far, Americans haven’t cut back on their spending.
That’s key because consumer spending is the lifeblood of the US economy, accounting for about two-thirds of economic output.
Against the odds, retail sales, which comprise a sizable chunk of overall spending, rose 0.6% in August from the prior month, according to Commerce Department data, following July’s 0.6% gain.
The government on Friday releases more comprehensive figures on consumer spending in August, which includes purchases of services, as part of its monthly Personal Consumption Expenditures report.
Still, an increasingly fragile labor market poses a risk to America’s economic engine, especially if layoffs start to climb.
New applications for unemployment benefits remained relatively low last week, the Labor Department said in a separate report released Thursday, but filings by federal workers who’ve been laid off have crept up in recent weeks, and could continue to climb.
In a separate report from the Commerce Department released Thursday, new orders for durable goods rebounded by a strong 2.9% in August, following two consecutive monthly declines, boosted by new orders for aircrafts and parts.
So phil is celebrating tariff caused inflation making people spend more as if its an economic success?
How MAGA.
But the bottom line is the US (and Canada) are still not even close to being in a recession, like many had predicted. And that is great news!!
I wonder if this will trigger another trump FCC outrage.
Canada is still ok because of CUSMA is still in place.But the bottom line is the US (and Canada) are still not even close to being in a recession, like many had predicted. And that is great news!!
