Surprise surprise. Even though outside the safe harbor hours for Family Entertainment rules, for some reason the FCC is investigating Cobert..

A good deal of right-wingers happen to be passionate hypocrites. How else does one explain how they sing panegyrics to Trump for not being "politically correct," yet incessantly vituperate anyone who dares to criticize their beloved leader?

They're not. They're trolling.


The idea is simply to use the Left's own tools against them, fight fire with fire, and expose the hypocrisy of media willing to slam and seek to destroy the career and reputation of any right-winger (or just non-progressive) that makes a joke that could be loosely construed as homophobic, while letting left-wing comics get away with it. It's also to showcase how joyless the world of extreme political correctness can be, and how it destroys comedy, via petty retribution and a "see how you like it" mentality.

Not surprisingly, 4Chan is behind this. Here is their most recent thread: http://boards.4chan.org/pol/thread/1241 ... rt-general

As you can see in there, they are now actively trying to get him fired... calling his advertisers, filing complaints to his network, filing complaints with the FCC (which means they are required to investigate), etc... It's pretty fucked up to try and ruin someone's career just for the hell of it or to make a statement, especially Colbert whom I still enjoy. :confused:

Given that it's 4Chan, I don't even know how many are actually right-wing... most of them are just anti-political correctness and trolls that like to create chaos for the "lulz."

Remember when the Dixie Chicks said something and the sky was falling but when the Duck Dynasty guy said something it was all about free speech?

Notice how the Ann Coulter thing was all about free speech but Stephen Colbert needs to be shut down ASAP or the sky will fall?

Notice how anytime a liberal wants to do anything without being attacked, they're a "special snowflake" who needs a "safe space" but when conservatives get called out for being racist douchebags, it's political correctness run amok?

The bottom line is, the right is completely full of shit and has been for an awful long time now.
Whatever I said above, just pretend I included the obligatory “both sides,” especially if I said something mean about Trump (don’t want to hurt any feelings).

Late night talk show host Stephen Colbert’s controversial joke about President Trump drew the attention of the Federal Communications Commission. The agency received “a number” of complaints about Colbert’s commentary earlier in the week, according to the FCC’s chief.

FCC Chairman Ajit Pai promised to “take the appropriate action” following a comprehensive investigation of Colbert’s remarks. The FCC's response will depend on whether Colbert’s remarks are considered “obscene.”

“We are going to take the facts that we find and we are going to apply the law as it’s been set out by the Supreme Court and other courts and we’ll take the appropriate action,” he told Talk Radio 1210 WPHT Thursday. Traditionally, the agency has to decide, if it does find a violation, what the appropriate remedy should be,” he said. "A fine, of some sort, is typically what we do.”

Broadcast television is governed by different rules depending on the time of day, Pai said Wednesday, prior to viewing Colbert’s comments. The FCC flags speech it considers “indecent” before 10 p.m., he told Fox Business Network, and looks for “obscene” content after that point. Colbert's “The Late Show” airs at 11:35 p.m. ET on CBS.

The agency’s website states that content must meet a three-tier Supreme Court test to be labeled “obscene.” “It must appeal to an average person’s prurient interest; depict or describe sexual conduct in a ‘patently offensive’ way; and, taken as a whole, lack serious literary, artistic, political or scientific value,” it reads. Colbert on Monday unleashed a flood of insults at Trump, satirizing an interview with CBS news the president cut short the day before. “The only thing your mouth is good at is being [Russian President] Vladimir Putin’s c—k holster,” he said of Trump. Colbert on Wednesday defended his joke amid fierce backlash online.

“I don’t regret that,” he said. “[Trump], I believe, can take care of himself. I have jokes; he has the launch codes. So, it’s a fair fight."

DING DING DING! YOU ARE CORRECT. I have personally seen this with my own eyes on Far left Facebook groups (leftbook). The alt-right basically infiltrated these groups and now troll it pretending to be leftist who are ultra pc. The thing is that they have all fell for it and they are super IDPOL about everything they do and outright ban people who make fun of the silly content and trigger warnings (cw:blue shirts, oreos, body odor) and dogpile anyone with a different opinion.
