News
Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

I will lose all respect for Kimmel and refuse to watch him if he accepts their proposal to make an apology and donation. Nothing he said warrants that. Plus unless he switches to constantly kissing Trump & MEGA asses, they will be trying to shut him down again in the near future. Unless Trump is gone, all US media will soon be propaganda only. Maybe he can get picked up in the UK or EU or Canada instead.
Wasn't TELLING him to donate a considerable amount extortion? No one merely suggested he make a contribution. Hmm. I think Kimmel's lawyers won't let him accept their proposal.
As OP said, I doubt Kimmel viewers would let him accept it either.
It's lose on all fronts if he does.
I read somewhere (unconfirmed but I’m hopeful) that Kimmel is suing Disney for $1 BILLION over this.
Anything that causes the Walt Disney Company to lose money is a good thing.
You can ask for however much you want in a lawsuit. It's fiction.
Yeah but he can probably get a lot. His entire brand has been destroyed by the government, this is some China-level shit. Bet he could get 300M easily.
Maaaybe? It's all hypothetical as we don't even know what he would sue for.
In the US. Other countries have better civil laws.
How? I'm saying you can ask for eleventy-billion dollars but that doesn't mean you'll get anything close to that or you might get more.
The one consideration he should have is making sure his writers and crew have jobs. Jimmy himself will be fine, but that's not true of all of them.
Which is why it's important that the WGA has put out a statement of support.
If anyone is about to reply "it doesn't matter unless they're willing to strike", please go read up on how unions operate first. A strike is your big gun, and you don't bring it out on a whim.
I'm struggling to think of a situation that's more deserving of a strike than what is happening right now.
Don't look to us to solve your self-inflicted problems for you.
We're already too busy protecting ourselves from the chaos of the USA's implosion.
