Not even that lady what? Is she famous?

... its the off season and you got me hooked so ...

Most teachers and /or professors don’t have a lot of followers yet they’re major influencers. Quite a few stories out there right now.

@ionel You spend way too much time in the deplorables forum...

Not even this lady? Or nurse ratchett?

Is this you acknowledging that Kimmel didn’t claim the shooter was MAGA?

IDK about that but Iowa is willing to trade @Jimmy Cinnabon for @PortaJohn.

Uh, most murderers don’t have many followers before becoming murders. Gaining notoriety is often a reason they become murderers. Thomas Crooks being one possible example. The follower discussion was more about comments people make. With 300+ million people in the country, you can find a couple hundred people saying just about anything. But there are really very few that anyone has ever heard of that said despicable things about Kirk’s death. And Jimmy Kimmel is not among them. Of course his fame is why him being cancelled is such a big story, verifying that follower count does matter.

Affiliates made their decision fcc commissioner spoke (defended/applauded the affiliates) abc suspends Kimmel. numerous articles I read including USA Today are using “sounded like a threat” not that it was a threat. Not to mention that the fcc isn’t even sure it can follow thru on what your sayin is a threat.

Snyder was certainly playing by Calvinball rules until he was caught

Imagine saying you were arrested on the porch with a black family during a civil rights protest……. And were lying about that?

Imagine if a republican pretended to be an Indian.

Since these are pro athletes on pro athlete contracts it's time to start talking trades like a real league: Would Hawkeye RTC and CKWC make a deal: Spencer Lee for Real Woods? Former medalist for a current medalist at the toughest weight. Good trade for both sides...

The Benny Podcast was published at 2:17PM Eastern time yesterday. The news articles that reported Kimmel being table off the air started appearing about an hour after that. The article you linked to to start this thread was published at 3:43pm. It is theoretically possible that the affiliates had made their decision before the podcast was published, but the decision was made public after the threats were made public. It is inappropriate for the FCC chair to make the threats. It either gives the wrong impression to the public or it chills free speech. Neither should be goal.

Imagine if a white private high school liberal college educated person talked like they were from the hood like Jc does.

Honor system, without going back. If you actually read the post, can you roughly breakdown my explanation? Then tell me why I would wrong with that approach?

It’s morally reprehensible for a highly educated African American woman to deliberately adopt a “ghetto” speech or persona to pander for the black vote, because it undercuts the dignity and intelligence of her own community — the African American community has made real, measurable gains in education (for example, nearly 27–30 percent of Black adults over 25 hold at least a bachelor’s degree, with Black women often outpacing men in attainment.

I was asking TPT.

My. Name. Is. Neo!

Sounds more like a Zahid problem than an Ed problem...

Maybe instead of asking why I “talk down” to people, you should consider whether it’s coming from a mix of trying to be precise and careful — not from assuming I know more. If the tone feels off, I can adjust it, but being challenged doesn’t automatically make someone less smart. Let’s keep this about the ideas, not about who sounds smarter.

Ole jazz hands still thinks he’s a manly man that scares conservatives.

So your conclusion is that there is nothing wrong or harmful. Because at no point did you prove any of the aforementioned points. Present evidence JC does any of these things frequently enough to rise to a harmful or unproductive level. Seems she got all your attention.
