They could have fought it or pushed back. They knew he lied and knew he was lying. Guessing he could have retracted but he refused. When you are already on hot seat probably shouldn't walk around like you are untouchable.

Did any of you bother reading the entire tweet?

It's a joke.

I read it. Are you sure he wasn't scolding us for celebrating because other people are involved? Whatever. Tired of too-clever-by-half nuances. People need to say what they mean.

Re-read it "And we're [also] celebrating them getting fired too"

Not sure how you can miss that.

Good gosh humans have short memories. They forget how many people lost their jobs and platforms for actual free speech during covid. Kimmel's comments weren't that. His comments were politically charged deceptions designed to fire up the left even further. Is he allowed to do that in private or outside of his job, sure. But to do it to an audience of millions is shady, deceptive and outright inflammatory.

And I'm sure all those people are just like the people working for TMZ who cheered when they heard the news that Charlie Kirk was dead. This tweet does not make me pause and feel bad in the slightest.

Good riddance. He's been insufferable and I won't notice his absence but I hope there was no government pressure to remove him.
If you say you hate the state of politics in this nation and you don't get involved in it, you obviously don't hate the state of politics in this nation.

For those questioning the firing of Jimmy Kimmel. It boils down to this. ABC yanked Kimmel, because they didn't want Erika Kirk coming in with a team of lawyers and walking away with half billion dollar lawsuit win.


I posted earlier... FCC is looking at it as spreadng political lies and false information on public (government licensed) air waves.

FCC Chair says that Kimmel's remarks violates multiple FCC rules and could result in the FCC pulling their, ABCs, licenses to broadcast

They really did all think they were untouchable. If you come after Christians, conservatives or anybody the left dislikes then nothing bad can happen to you. Not anymore!

Let's ****ing go!

They booked incredible guests like Elizabeth Warren (like a ridiculous number of appearances) and wrote incredible unfunny jokes that were extremely political at the expense of being not funny.

Oh well.

There is no attack on free speech here.

You libs don't understand that this is a private matter, not the government.

Apparently many of the ABC affiliates are airing a tribute to Charlie Kirk during his time slot on Friday as well.

Not sure how I feel about this but the culture shift over the last year is undeniable.
This is absolutely a good thing. The rhetoric from media on the left has been helping to cause the violence. If they won't tone it down voluntarily, then they leave their employers no choice but to cut them loose.


I don't know, I (and most people for the entire history of human civilization) have put the comedians in their own special category when it comes to speech and the Overton window. The court jester was the only one who (sometimes) got away with saying anything and everything about the king as long as it was funny. We have always made very unique and specific exceptions in our societies for them.

Now I recognize Kimmel is rarely funny anymore and his monologue about the shooter wasn't either, but something about taking platforms from comedians on the basis of personal offense or political persuasion has always rubbed me the wrong way. Disney has every right to do it and this isn't a free speech violation or anything of the sort, I just don't know that I like the precedent. We've complained for years about the left trying to cancel comedians who make jokes at their expense, even unfunny ones.

Be careful lest you be mocked for not "getting the joke"!

They both used to be very funny, then Kimmel got to a level of fame where certain things are no longer considered acceptable. He also started dating obnoxiously liberal women.

Can't argue there. But where I understand the potentially necessary precedent is knowingly spreading political lies. That word knowingly is paramount in all of this. Just action? I'm still conflicted, but that knowingly part is how I can wrap my head around it.

And now Carolla is calling it real. I never realized how intelligent he was... Kimmel not so much

Remember: these ritaards now moaning about free speech when a boss fires an employee said nothing 4.5 years ago when actual government bureaucrats pressured social media platform monopolies at Twitter and Facebook to censor and ban the New York Post- the longest running publication in the nation founded by Alexander Hamilton. A free press is fundamental to the first amendment designed to keep government transparent to the people.

It sounds like his contract was approaching its end anyway. And I bet we learn that they were losing money just like Colbert was so this may have simply been their way to nip his show in the bud.

I'm 100% speculating on them losing money but it shouldn't surprise anyone if they were considering that they had smaller market share than Colbert and roughly equal production values.

Kimmel may be a "comedian", but he sure as hell wasn't trying to be funny or make jokes when he said this stuff. He doesn't deserve that protection to cover his comments.

When Nexstar, who owns 265 abc affiliates, says they are preempting his show, there go the ad dollars, and bam, abc is forced to pull him. The marketplace at work. (He only had 1.7 million viewers to begin with).

May have made it easy.... but it was earlier than they anticipated because of public pressure and justified outrage.

they actually think Colbert and Kimmel would survive in the podcast/startup realm.
