Sorry, I mean, please free the airwaves of Jimmy Kimmel.

Now Jimmy is free to fail the old fashioned way… because of merit.

Anybody up for a deadpool?

Just how much money is Disney willing to lose to make a point?

Glad I’m not a shareholder.

Meghan, you have totally nailed it on this utterly shameless, hypocritical horseshit! Jake Tapper, claim that this was ".. pretty much the most direct infringement by the government on free speech that I've seen in my lifetime" shows what a self-serving, lying, I-will-tow-whatever-line-you-tell-me-to" unprincipled low life he is, as are Seth Meyer and all the so-called celebrities who signed that BS ACLU letter. They are totally out of touch with anything other than their own cozy, cushy reality.

Thank you!!!

Is he even going to apologize and correct his lie? I doubt it. The FCC could make him tell the public the truth, but my guess is he'll keep pushing this maga lie even more.

Thank you for the fascinating interview with Liam DeBoer, Meghan, someone whose work I was quite unfamiliar with. I hope he thinks about leaving Canada. We could certainly use him here.

I do have a caveat on Liam seeing Carney as a central banker in his pre-political career. Carney spent only 13 years and almost 8 months of his life working for the Bank of Canada or the Bank of England, over half of that time at the Bank of England. He spent almost the same amount of time, 13 years altogether, working for Goldman Sachs before moving to the public sector, the company Matt Taibbi memorably described as a vampire squid sucking the life blood out of the world economy. After his career as a central banker ended he joined Brookfield Asset Management in October 2020 and only stepped down in January 2015. His total time working for Goldman Sachs and for Brookfield Asset Management much exceeds the time he spent working as a central banker. Note that while Carney spent almost two decades working in the private sector, he was never the CEO for either of the companies he worked for. This is in contrast to his Prime Ministerial predecessors, Brian Mulroney and Paul Martin.

"Oh do you??! Do you “know this moment is bigger than us and our industry”??! Because when “this moment” literally was bigger than you rich, phony turds and your industry, you said nothing."

And this is why I love your writing, Meghan. They are a bunch of rich, phony turds and deserve to be called out accordingly.

I really like the way you beat around the bush and never quite get to the point you are making!

With respect to all those Hollywood retards whinging about Kimmel's right to free speech, Ricky Gervais made the astute observation that most of them has less schooling than that nasty little bigot Greta Thunberg. I suspect free speech would be the best thing in the world for Hollywood. If we stopped paying the fools to talk, they would stop talking and a peaceful silence might descend.
