I love it.

The left will keep on crying. I love how all of sudden the left is for Free Speech. They sure seem to have a very short memory. One word. COVID. Remember how were all were told to die and go to hell if we did not go along with the lefts narrative?? I surely do.

... Too right, mate - those doctors and scientists who gave
dissenting opinions on whatever Fauci was pushing were either
fired for their jobs or sent off their platforms.

... Rather odd and sad that the Democrats don't seem
to fancy remembering ANY of that.

... Where was the "free speech" then?? ...

... ABC/Disney gave Kimmel a chance to apologise BEFORE
they suspended his show - and he refused.

... Now I heard from President Trump today - He said that
Kimmel's show being cancelled is because of LOW RATINGS
more than anything else.

Does this 'indoctrination' apply to technical schools as well?
Tyler was a student at Dixie Technical College's electrical apprenticeship program.

You know, President Donald Trump’s administration is pushing for elite universities like Harvard to invest billions in vocational training.

You’re still trying to do cpr on the “hE wAs MaGa” horseshit when your comrades have all moved on to the next outrage? That’s cute. Never give up and never give in, even when everyone is laughing at you.

And hypocritical. Only BS that can be broadcast is maggie BS. All others will have actions beyond the specter of law applied to it.

That would be the job of ABC executives once the advertisers pulled $$$. That didn't happen.

Than the affiliates would have dropped the program. Got a link to that happening or concrete steps to that action? And love how y'all maggies call it lying.

And you're all crying about it.

Been waiting for someone to post a link to the guys voters card to show it's a lie. Or that he was brought up wearing a dress and family were all libbies.

But none of y'all maggies want to do that.

Saying it's a lie is not proof. Do the legwork and supply that proof here.

Ad naseum, the guy was brought up rightwing. That is his roots. Misguided as he was to justify his actions, he was dyed in the wool one of y'all.

Having the government threaten the speech of a broadcaster because they found it offensive is a first amendment violation.

Current admin only allows maggie lies to fly over all mediums. No libby stuff. Regardless if it hits the bullseye. And the backside of donny is a pretty big one.

2) Kimmel isn’t a “Broadcaster” either.

Lefties have got an excuse for everything except their own bad behavior.

1. Yes they can. But ABC didn't initiate this action.

2. Who cares? Oh, the maggies do because it made the manbaby throw a tantrum.

there are always consequences and free speech is not an absolute right

Use to the FCC doling out fines first. But no one has shown the written rule for the actions demanded. Seems a few rules were broken on delivering the message.

Oh, NaCl-y. For a guy that likes to invokes rules and such when it serves *your* purpose, you should know not to "speculate" the state of ones mind. That is not admissable. That should be a weight off your chest that no one is calling you out to prove it. You already got too many irons in the dead cold ashes waiting to be pulled.

LOL... You were told over and over that weaponizing the govt. was gonna have a bad outcome. But the leftards thought they'd never lose another election.

Cry harder. Maybe you should bring a lawsuit...

LOL.

This is the power that you guys cried that ol' joey use to do and raged against it.

Y'all love to hypocrite, don't y'all.

Fox News
The lawsuit revealed internal Fox communications in which hosts like Tucker Carlson, and even News Corp chairman Rupert Murdoch, admitted they knew the claims of election fraud were false. Despite these private admissions, they continued to give platforms to election deniers out of fear of losing viewers to rival networks like Newsmax.

Oh yeah, Newsmax...April 2025

The pro-Trump channel Newsmax defamed Dominion Voting Systems by falsely accusing the company of rigging the 2020 presidential election, a Delaware judge ruled Wednesday.

BTW, Carr has a built in excuse for not doing this...FCC only regulates broadcasters, not cable channels.

It was his last straw…

Who knows? Never been curious to look at the corporate statement.

Stay tuned...

Could be tonight. Indefinte (sp) has been shown to be a finite amount in the past.

Here's what he said at the Oxford Union, in the United Kingdom: “Free speech is a birthright that you gave us, and you guys decided not to codify it, and now it’s—poof—it’s basically gone.”

Too bad Tyler Robinson, Brendan Carr and Pamela Bondi aren't on the same page with that.

Oh, you had to use maggie words against them to cast the spotlight on their hypocrisy.

Are Jimmy Kimmel's ratings down?


According to monthly Nielsen figures, “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” dropped to just 1.1 million total viewers in August 2025, down 43% from January's 1.95 million.14 hours ago


ABC dropped this soppy prick because his audience was tanking and he's not worth the effort to keep on the air.

Yet another big pile of garbage. Which amounts to more crying that Kimmel got to face consequences for lying about the Kirk killer. Funny you keep demanding links, yet not one of you has provided ANY proof of your claims. Just remarks that his FAMILY was conservative. Which means nothing. Your pathetic insults to several posters aside...

The fact is that we’re on the downside of the slippery slope.

MAGA won’t always be in power. If we allow the government to control what content gets published then the next administration will do the same.

Then we start having the type of censorship that they have in China and Russia.

Ignoring much less cheering this type of censorship is unpatriotic in my view.

censorship? that isn't what happened. Sinclair, the largest ABC affiliate broadcaster were upset already by Kimmel's comments. then he ran his mouth off again .. then was told he needed to "tone it down". this came directly from ABC when it appeared Kimmel was going to double down on his rhetoric yet again for the 3rd night in a row.



What happened behind the scenes that led to Kimmel suspension

https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/...221340328.html


The decision to yank Jimmy Kimmel’s show off the air wasn’t quite as rash as one might think. The issue had been brewing all week throughout the executive ranks at Disney and ABC — ever since Kimmel made comments during his Monday night monologue about Charlie Kirk’s suspected killer and, as he called Trump’s supporters, the “MAGA gang.”


Kimmel’s remarks Monday attracted ire from the critics on the right, which put it on Disney’s radar. On Tuesday’s show, Kimmel doubled down, saying, “Many in MAGA-land are working very hard to capitalize on the murder of Charlie Kirk.”


But it wasn’t until Wednesday afternoon, after FCC chair Brendan Carr went onto a conservative podcast and threatened to pull ABC affiliate broadcast licenses, that the matter really escalated. Then Nexstar — the station group which airs “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” in approximately two dozen markets — announced they would not air the show.


According to one of the individuals familiar with the situation, Kimmel was prepared to deliver his monologue on his show Wednesday night and planned to address the right-wing backlash to his remarks made earlier in the week regarding the politicalization of Kirk’s killing. This individual describes Kimmel’s planned monologue as “very hot,” taking aim at the MAGA base.


It was then that Disney executives had conversations with Kimmel about “taking down the temperature” of his monologue, according to the individual. Nexstar announced its plan to pull Kimmel’s show at the same time.


That’s when Disney CEO Bob Iger and Disney Entertainment Co-chairman Dana Walden made the decision to preempt the show indefinitely — in hopes of protecting Kimmel and the Disney brand from accelerating the controversy.

here's Jimmy's punishment if he wants his show back on the air


he better take it.



Jimmy Kimmel Asked to Apologize and Pay Charlie Kirk's Family if He Wants Suspension Lifted by Nation's Largest ABC Affiliate

The media company Sinclair wants Kimmel to apologize to Kirk's family and make a "meaningful personal donation" to them and Kirk's nonprofit Turning Point USA

https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/...181703238.html

• Jimmy Kimmel has been given a list of demands to return to air by Sinclair, the broadcasting company with the nation's largest ABC affiliate group
• The requests come after ABC "indefinitely" pulled Jimmy Kimmel Live! off the air after the host's recent comments about Charlie Kirk, the conservative political commentator who was killed on Sept. 10
• Sinclair is asking Kimmel to issue an apology to Kirk's family and to make a "meaningful personal donation" to Kirk's family and Kirk's nonprofit, Turning Point USA

Sinclair, the broadcasting company that makes up the nation's largest ABC affiliate group, is giving a list of demands for Jimmy Kimmel to return to air following the show being "indefinitely" pulled.


The media company said in a press release on Wednesday, Sept. 17, that it "objects to recent comments made by Mr. Kimmel concerning the assassination of Charlie Kirk" and, after discussions with ABC, made the decision to "indefinitely preempt" Jimmy Kimmel Live! beginning that night.


"Mr. Kimmel's remarks were inappropriate and deeply insensitive at a critical moment for our country," Sinclair vice chairman Jason Smith said in a statement. "We believe broadcasters have a responsibility to educate and elevate respectful, constructive dialogue in our communities."

Correction.
Not ABC that 'asked' Kimmel to apologize.

Sinclair, the largest ABC affiliate

Sinclair also calls upon Mr. Kimmel to issue a direct apology to the Kirk family. Furthermore, we ask Mr. Kimmel to make a meaningful personal donation to the Kirk Family and Turning Point USA.

https://sbgi.net/sinclair-says-kimme...tional-action/


BTW...posted by Kimmel before the on air statement
“Instead of the angry finger-pointing, can we just for one day agree that it is horrible and monstrous to shoot another human? On behalf of my family, we send love to the Kirks and to all the children, parents and innocents who fall victim to senseless gun violence.”

[RX792P]

Thank goodness for the government-approved, administration-compliant Daily Show and patriotically-obedient host Jon Stewart.

And when He didn't apologise - ABC/Disney took him off the air.
