I didn’t like it when the left was canceling people for words, and I don’t like it when the right is doing it. But we need to stop feeding the lunatics.

That said late tv is dead. Kimmel was going to be shut down eventually, he can start a podcast.

Agreed. I also didn’t care for Bondi talking about banning hate speech, and I’m also afraid that these tranny fuckers are going to be the excuse for more internet screening. Probably will be the Patriot Act: Part Deux

I don't give a fuck about Kimmel or Colbert but the right are a bunch of cry baby bitches. They're no better than the left. The right rails on about how they're the party of free speech and when Charlie Kirk gets killed, they're after everyone's job or career making spreadsheets and all other kind of nonsense. I don't wanna here shit from them anymore either. Both sides deserve each other. You better hope the Dems don't get back in office because they're going to go scorched earth on the right, which is why I truly believe the orange pedophile and his party will attempt a coup.

No, there's a difference between digging up a comedian's off color joke or comment, and celebrating and championing violence, misinformation, and assassinations.

It's been said the worst thing about free speech is, in fact, free speech.  I get that, and believe folks ARE free to say what they want.  But free speech does NOT mean speech without consequence.

If you are a nurse, doctor, teacher, etc and you openly celebrate the killing of political folks you don't like, then it's not a stretch for an employer to say you would treat a patient or student whose views you didn't like differently.

Or, to put it differently, I don't want people canceled for their opinions, but if you're a professional, don't be a fucking retard and have some common sense.  Is tweeting to your groupthink bubble worth your job?

He isn't being cancelled for words. He is being cancelled for LIES. As for the others mocking the assignation of a man, those are not words, those are sick individuals who are so biased that they are not to be trusted or safe to be around. Especially when some of them hold leadership positions in the fire dept, police dept, hospitals, colleges, etc.  Those same people cancelled the right for differing beliefs or things they did in their past when those same actions were acceptable to the time.

I'm tired already of hearing the "free speech' excuses. It's protecting a brand and a business. As much as I hate Disney for their woke agenda, this was Nexstar who made that decision and rightfully so. You don't want employees like Kimmel or in any other business big or small publicly making not just flat out lying accusation but creating even more hate. Again, it's protecting their brand and their businesses. This isn't even close to being the same as the left (trying) to cancel someone.

Oh so what you're saying is that it's ok to dig through people's Getbig posts, dox them and get them fired from their job for "hate speech." We all know there's no shortage of that here to include myself.

While you may not like it, and it comes off as off-color, there's nothing illegal about people expressing their feelings about someone, including, as you put it, championing or celebrating their death. While it's off color, it shouldn't be a fireable offense considering they did it on the internet on social media and more than likely on their own time.

I think you get much of this but what it's turned into is "my side" is in power now and we're going to make you pay. As I said, and neither you nor the other guy addressed (in fact, he deflected with another question), you have people on X, aka Twitter, creating databases and spreadsheets to dox other users and report them to their jobs and get them fired. These are ALL right wing MAGA clowns, the so called champions of free speech. The irony is ol' Charlie said himself, there's no such thing as "hate speech." These MAGA fucks are butthurt little sissies that are pissed their messiah got murdered and are lashing out in any way they can to feel vindicated. It's pathetic. They should keep that same energy when the left occupies the white house and pulls the same bullshit they do. Both sides are shit but MAGA are a bunch of little bitches from Trump on down.

They did it because they knew the FCC Commissioner would use his hammer as a reason to snatch the license of the station, not because they wanted to. That fuckface Brian Kilmead from Fox should have been fired for what he said about homeless people, and Kimmel gets cancelled indefinitely for what he said?  Yeah, Ok, Coach. It definitely was a business decision on Nexstar's behalf because they were staring down the barrel of a gun under duress, so miss me with the bullshit narrative you're trying to push. What you MAGA psychos are doing is no different than those pussies on the left. Both of you deserve each other.

That's not what I said.

I said if somebody on social media celebrates the death of someone they don't like because of political beliefs, it's not a stretch to think they would treat patients, students, customers with the same bias and contempt. I doesn't matter if they do it on social media or their own time.   If I were a Democrat, and a Republican doctor was celebrating on social media an assassination of a leftist, why wouldn't I think he would treat me differently if it were between me and a Republican in an emergency room?  Be real.

And as coach said companies need to protect their brands.  And we are not talking about hate speech in saying "I hate whites/blacks/gays".....people are cheering openly killing someone for their politics.  It's odd you can't see this.

There's no difference between what you said and race.  If a white doctor, nurse, etc. said the shit that's said on X or here about so-called blacks, etc...I absolutely would believe they would treat me differently based on my race. Are you kidding me?  The race thing is actually worse. Like I said to Coach, it was a business decision because they were staring down the barrel of a gun. Had they not been threatened by the FCC Commissioner, Kimmel would still have a job. (Not that I give a fuck because I remember his moronic bullshit during covid.)

Anyway, between you and me, what I gather is that if you're vulnerable to getting fired or cancelled, watch what you say because haters are watching on both sides, and if they're butthurt enough, they'll dox you to make themselves feel good. This is nothing more than forcing people into compliance through bullying.

Are you nuts?  Look at my post history. I've never been vaxxed, never will get vaxxed, and despise those motherfuckers for trying to force us into getting vaxxed. They killed plenty of people with these clot shots and will never face justice. Fauci should be in prison, so should Bill Gates, the head of Pfizer, Moderna, and the other one. They tried to usher in a dystopian nightmare literally, and thank God it failed. Now, Trump is trying to create his ideal vision of America—a one-party FASCIST system.

It is same on race, sure, but that doesn't invalidate the point, it supports it.

But for the bolded, man, it's just plain adult common sense.  I mean, is posting something on X, that will literally accomplish zero outside of potentially harming yourself, worth it?  It's fucking lunacy.  It's like these bitches who film themselves sitting in a car ranting like complete psychos.  Do they think this looks good?  Do they actually think they sway anyone?  Well, they don't, it's just something that goes on their permanent resume because the internet never forgets.

“No — knowingly accusing someone of committing a serious crime like murder, when it’s false, is not protected free speech.

Here’s why:
   •   Defamation (libel/slander): False statements of fact that damage someone’s reputation are generally not protected. Saying “X murdered Y” when you know it’s false is classic defamation per se (automatically harmful).
   •   Actual Malice Standard: If the person accused is a public figure, the accuser can only be held liable if they acted with “actual malice” — meaning they knew the statement was false or acted with reckless disregard for the truth (which your question already assumes).
   •   Incitement & Harm: If the false claim stirs up threats, harassment, or violence against the person falsely accused, it could also fall under laws against incitement or true threats, which also aren’t protected by the First Amendment.

So while the First Amendment protects a lot of offensive or controversial speech, knowingly making false accusations of murder is not protected. It opens the speaker to criminal liability in some contexts and civil liability (lawsuits) for defamation.

👉 Do you want me to explain how the law treats it differently if it’s just a casual lie to a friend vs. a public statement (like online or to the media)?”

They did it because they knew the FCC Commissioner would use his hammer as a reason to snatch the license of the station, not because they wanted to. That fuckface Brian Kilmead from Fox should have been fired for what he said about homeless people, and Kimmel gets cancelled indefinitely for what he said?  Yeah, Ok, Coach. It definitely was a business decision on Nexstar's behalf because they were staring down the barrel of a gun under duress, so miss me with the bullshit narrative you're trying to push.

No, there's a difference between digging up a comedian's off color joke or comment, and celebrating and championing violence, misinformation, and assassinations.

It's been said the worst thing about free speech is, in fact, free speech.  I get that, and believe folks ARE free to say what they want.  But free speech does NOT mean speech without consequence.

If you are a nurse, doctor, teacher, etc and you openly celebrate the killing of political folks you don't like, then it's not a stretch for an employer to say you would treat a patient or student whose views you didn't like differently.

Or, to put it differently, I don't want people canceled for their opinions, but if you're a professional, don't be a fucking retard and have some common sense.  Is tweeting to your groupthink bubble worth your job?

It also says something terrible about their judgment to post it publicly online

As long as the Ds hold on to "threat to democracy" "fascist" and "Trump is Hitler" this stuff will continue, as will their losing.  They need to disavow and condemn this and say "we should not have said that stuff."  Heck, some brave Democrat could come out and just call Kirk's murderer what he was, a scumbag.  Is that so hard?  The text exchanges show that what he cared about immediately after murdering a person for their beliefs was getting away with the murder.

Agreed. I also didn’t care for Bondi talking about banning hate speech, and I’m also afraid that these tranny fuckers are going to be the excuse for more internet screening. Probably will be the Patriot Act: Part Deux

Monitoring social media posts is taking place.

 Amazed the Kirk death being a race issue for some. Someone shared a post where they highlighted comments Kirk said about George Floyd and how people are saying the same about Kirk but they’re being canceled. As if poor George was gunned down at a college event where the promotion of debate annd ideas were being discussed. I mean I get why people would think George was a hero with all the good he was doing in his community but I don’t know if Kirk saying, George was a scumbag and was no loss to society (based on his life) is the same as those who are celebrating the death of someone who was not a career who robbed a pregnant woman at gunpoint….

I’m saddened by the state of this country that everything can be turned into a race issue. Hopefully the Japanese Americans who were placed in internment camps during world war 2 are able to move forward.

"free speech does not mean free from consequences" distinguishes between state-enforced punishment and social or private repercussions for one's words.

A person generally cannot be legally punished by the government for expressing unpopular or offensive ideas, BUT they are not exempt from societal, economic, or private-sector responses to that speech. This goes for the left or the right.

Freedom of Speech is only a protection from GOVERNMENT interference, not from your employer or anyone else.

He lied about the shooters by saying he was MAGA

That could leave his employers open yo a law suit


A guy working for the same company as me had an argument on FB with someone and threw homophobic slurs at him.

He got fired
The reason he got fired is because he had the companies name on his FB profile, it wasnt about the comments he made per say , it was that he left the company no choice but to fire him because they cant have a homophobe on their books

Oh so what you're saying is that it's ok to dig through people's Getbig posts, dox them and get them fired from their job for "hate speech." We all know there's no shortage of that here to include myself.

While you may not like it, and it comes off as off-color, there's nothing illegal about people expressing their feelings about someone, including, as you put it, championing or celebrating their death. While it's off color, it shouldn't be a fireable offense considering they did it on the internet on social media and more than likely on their own time.

I think you get much of this but what it's turned into is "my side" is in power now and we're going to make you pay. As I said, and neither you nor the other guy addressed (in fact, he deflected with another question), you have people on X, aka Twitter, creating databases and spreadsheets to dox other users and report them to their jobs and get them fired. These are ALL right wing MAGA clowns, the so called champions of free speech. The irony is ol' Charlie said himself, there's no such thing as "hate speech." These MAGA fucks are butthurt little sissies that are pissed their messiah got murdered and are lashing out in any way they can to feel vindicated. It's pathetic. They should keep that same energy when the left occupies the white house and pulls the same bullshit they do. Both sides are shit but MAGA are a bunch of little bitches from Trump on down.

While this whole thing has turned into one big kindergarten crying fight....I ask you these questions (and in no malicious or confrontational way...looking for your thoughts/opinion):

1) where were all of these people prior to him being killed?  Why didn't they "express their feelings" about wanting him dead?  Social media has upped the game on all attention whores.  They are so 'brave' to express their feelings online, did they express that same 'bravery' and say it at work, at school, in public?

2) If you are a business owner (lets say car dealer owner) and they are out there saying things like "Obama is a stupid ni**er and should be shot" online, in their own time and then there is backlash which causes your business to suffer (and potentially lose your affiliation with the major car company your dealership represents), how are you going to respond?   With a smile saying : that rascal...so full of energy!!

3) Do you NOT think both sides have their lists?  Think about the time Trump got blasted for his "pussy" comment.  Was that a right wing MAGA clown bringing that up? 

Fuck politics....its worse than WWE wrestling and sports fans who will fight you if you like the opposing team.

You're correct that celebrating someone's death isn't illegal, and Jimmy Kimmel wasn't arrested. He was fired. While you argue it shouldn't be a fire able offense, private companies can terminate employees for actions that impact their bottom line. "At will" employment laws allow employers to fire you for any reason. Only certain classes like race, religion, and disability are federally protected. Not political opinions or expressions.

The real question is did ABC fire Kimmel because his statements hurt their profits? Or was it due to pressure from Trump? It’s concerning if a president uses their influence to pressure media companies into silencing voices. That is blackmail and undermines free expression. BTW it was also wrong of the Democrats to force manipulations to Facebook algorithms to suppress Biden's laptop etc. I think both sides play this game. Trump is just more blatantly obvious about it.

When that was written the people were the militia, a free state would have meant the entire country. So in order to have a free country, the people have the right to bear arm and it shall not be infringed. It does not specify any use. One of the reasons it is so fought over in the courts. Although our government has been slowly infringing on in it since it was written.

By the way, now if you are part of an actual militia, the government will put you on a watch list. ;D

Your experience with firearms has been negative, I understand why you may not want to have them around you. As an American that handles firearms daily, I don't have those same reservations. Here they are a part of our culture. You may see it as destructive but most view it as a freedom. If you decide to take firearms, what's next? Knives? Then maybe sticks and rocks? People can and will use anything to get the upper hand in an argument/fight. For us here, it's not an option to give them up. There are over 400,000,000 firearms here (I think that's right) If they were really a problem the number of times they were used would be much higher.

I'm from the UK and am serisouly interested. if you cant be arsed engaing no problem.


Chaos

Honestly, firstly I got locked up for firearms. Or rather shooting someone. It was in response to someone doing the same to my brother. Both actions ruined many many lives. Generationally ruined lives and families. I have seen first hand the damage they do and how they escalate stuff far too quickly, I don't think a civilised society should have this as an option. I also think its an easy option. If people had to fight to sort stuff out there would be nowhere near the deaths there are with guns. I now value human life preiously I disregarded it.

Couple of things I am curious about.

1) Did both parties in your situation 'legally' own those guns?  (No judgement brother....just wondering)

2) While I agree things escalate quickly (ad yes often times its a quick option)...whats to stop someone from using other things as weapons to harm another person in a fit of anger?  Running them over with a car...stabbing them....using a bat.....getting buddies to jump the other person and beat them to death?  Have people been de-sensitized to the ramifications of guns?  I think yes.  After getting my license and owning one, I actually look at them differently.  I know possess something that can do real damage.  I respect it more than I did before (if that makes sense)

3) A 'civilized' society has nothing to do with it.  All that means is that we have organized governments, social norms, and a focus on its citizens.  When you take a step back you could argue that we DON'T have a civilized society.   Just look at the amount of arguments there are now about social norms. 

4) Can't you value life even more if you have a gun?  Look at what happens to (most) people when they have children.  They suddenly look at their lives (and the childs life) and realize how fleeting things are.  How they have to change.

NOPE 100% ILLEGALLY OBTAINED.

2) While I agree things escalate quickly (ad yes often times its a quick option)...whats to stop someone from using other things as weapons to harm another person in a fit of anger?  Running them over with a car...stabbing them....using a bat.....getting buddies to jump the other person and beat them to death?  Have people been de-sensitized to the ramifications of guns?  I think yes.  After getting my license and owning one, I actually look at them differently.  I know possess something that can do real damage.  I respect it more than I did before (if that makes sense)

A MATE OF MINE LEGIT HAS GUNS HERE. HOWEVER TO HAVE THEM YOU NEED SERIOUS SECURITY CLEARANCE AND ALL SORTS OF TRAINING ETC ETC. FO RME ITS NOT SO MUCH THE GUN AS THE FACT THEY ARE SO EASILY AVAILABLE WITHOUT MUCH CONTROL. IN OPINION ANYONE WITH ANY CRIMINAL CONVICTION SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED A FIREARM. I CONCEDE ANYTHING CAN BE USED AS A WEAPON AND IF YOU ARE DETERMINED YOU WILL FIND A WAY BUT TO ME IT APPEARS ITS RELATIVELY EASY TO GET FIREARMS IN THE STATES. HERE OYU NEED TO ATTEND A GUN CLUB, SECURITY CHECKS, BACKGROUND FAMILY CHECKS, NO DRINK OR DRUN CONVICTIONS ITS ULTRA STRICT AND IF YOU MESS UP ONCE LIKE DONT HAVE A GUN STORED CORRECTLY YOU WILL HAVE HTEM TAKE OFF YOU.

3) A 'civilized' society has nothing to do with it.  All that means is that we have organized governments, social norms, and a focus on its citizens.  When you take a step back you could argue that we DON'T have a civilized society.   Just look at the amount of arguments there are now about social norms. 

FAIR POINT- PERHAPS CIVILISED IS SOMETHNG WE ASPIRE TO BE

4) Can't you value life even more if you have a gun?  Look at what happens to (most) people when they have children.  They suddenly look at their lives (and the childs life) and realize how fleeting things are.  How they have to change.

THAT SWHAT HAPPENED TO ME. HAD KIDS EVERYTHING CHANGED. PRIOR TO THAT I WAS VERY PRO ME HAVING GUNS. THEY ARE A PHONE CALL AWAY HERE YOU CAN HIRE THEM FOR. A NIGHT. I'VE JUST NEVER SEEN AYTHING GOOD COME OUT OF A DISPUTE INVOLVING A GUN. YOU CAN SAY THE SAME ABOUT A KNIFE. BUT THE KNIFES PRIMARY USE IS NOT TO KILL- A GUNS IS.

INTERESTING- I KNOW ITS ABOUT OPINIONS. I ANSWER WITH RESPECT.

Both the Left and the Right use fascist as a pejorative, as if it's proven the be to worst form of government. But is it worse than our Democracy, which to many now feels the most oppressive of all? At least in Fascism the leader takes the credit as well as the blame, in Democracy no one is held to account. Here in Sweden some wonder if politicians shouldn't be held responsible for their political deeds and their fallouts. I'm not some great student of history and ideas throughout history, where I could say what's 'best,' but what we have now seems gay :D

They did it because they knew the FCC Commissioner would use his hammer as a reason to snatch the license of the station, not because they wanted to. That fuckface Brian Kilmead from Fox should have been fired for what he said about homeless people, and Kimmel gets cancelled indefinitely for what he said?  Yeah, Ok, Coach. It definitely was a business decision on Nexstar's behalf because they were staring down the barrel of a gun under duress, so miss me with the bullshit narrative you're trying to push. What you MAGA psychos are doing is no different than those pussies on the left. Both of you deserve each other.

I like Trump overall, but I can attest what he does inciting people is not an act.

I heard Barbara Corcoran on a podcast talk about an old run in with him years ago.

Soon after that my Mom told me of a relative of mine who was also a real estate developer in NYC (He just died this summer actually and had an article in one of the NYC newspapers)and  hated his guts, lol.

Don’t get me wrong. I love Trump and what he’s doing but he did throw me for a loop when he talked about banning firearms in the trans community. Other than that, when I go to vote I vote on the issues on what’s best for the country, family and my businesses. He checks all of the boxes plus he doesn’t hold back on his views. I have a couple of hats “Make America Great Again” hats and other things I got as gifts when I was at the White House in 2020, but I’ve never gone out of my way to buy any “MAGA” swag.

Honestly, it seems really weird to me still that you are kind of disavowing MAGA with this information above about actually going to the White House and having MAGA gear.  I'm 100% Deplorable and proud of it.  Who did you vote for in primaries?

I have another story about Trump, but this guy didn’t actually know Donald personally or anything like that.

I became friends with a NYC DJ back in the day and he was pretty good and known in the local circuit.

He did too many drugs, but otherwise was a cool guy.

Around when things became hyper politicized around Donald he posted non stop about how he was an evil person and shouldn’t become president etc. Because he was a DJ who spun at Pacha (Old Soundfactory in Manhattan) his posts got a lot of interactions.

Wasn’t until years later that he told me he got involved in the “Trump Network” multi level marketing company around 2009 or so. It folded and I’m guessing he lost some money and was forever bitter.

His ratings will improve markedly...for a few days. 

At the Emmys Colbert said that there are two hundred from his show looking for a job.  This lack of self-awareness is why these late-night network shows get dismal viewership.  Carson regularly got 10M viewers with 100 million fewer Americans, whereas Kimmel, Fallon, and Colbert get an aggregate of 3-4 million viewers.

David Muir at ABC is the only one who comes close to Johnny Carson. He is at about 8 million. The Five at Fox does well at about 4 million. Everybody else is pretty low. People just do not watch network television much any more. Disney recently raved to shareholders and to Wall Street about their streaming revenue and their theme park revenue and moaned and groaned over TV (ABC) and the movies they make.

In a general sense, the networks are more in the driver’s seat than the affiliates are. The affiliates don’t amount to much without the networks’ staple programming, and networks could always choose to go with other affiliates. But clearly ABC could lose a solid chunk of viewership over all this (viewership is down across the board already anyway). On the flip side, there are loads of people within those markets who will side with Kimmel and scream about “free speech” and maybe even abandon their affiliate to watch Kimmel on Hulu (instead of Family Feud or whatever replaces it), etc. Best on both sides to kiss and make up.
Title: Re: Jimmy Kimmel is gone
Post by: mphgrove on September 23, 2025, 05:03:57 AM
Guesstimated Sinclair viewership percentage, maybe 15 to 20 percent of ABC viewers will have to watch Celebrity Family Feud or local news at that slot rather than Kimmel. That percentage may be enough to tank the economics of the show but probably not. Also, viewers in those markets can stream Kimmel if they are that desperate to watch him, so whoever has the streaming platform will get a bump and I guess pay Disney/ABC some dollars. Not sure how that works, maybe Disney controls that particular streaming directly.

Late night shows are in a steep decline (Disney is open about the overall decline of its linear television business unit). BUT Kimmel is #1 in that slot with the 18 to 49 age category which generates the most advertising dollars. And that is why he’s back, probably much more so than Jennifer Aniston and the other celebrities screaming at Disney or the protestors in front of Disney headquarters.

Anyone can watch Kimmel, lots of alternative streams, but Sinclair wants the ad dollars and they know they get jack shit viewers in their areas with Kimmel.  This same -- find a graceful exit/excuse for the radical loons you've been looking to can anyway-- will play out over all of society for the next few years.  Leftists cant admit they were wrong, but they need to go and business knows it.

Your point is well taken in saying that what matters most to Sinclair is their local viewership in each market. It is true that those markets as shown on the map are conservative markets (mostly) but it still is VERY unclear that more people would watch regurgitated local news or Celebrity Family Feud than Kimmel. However, it is CERTAIN that their phones are ringing with people in those markets who want Kimmel OFF. Just like the Jennifer Anniston factor, etc. contacting Disney headquarters or screaming at cocktail parties in LA. We’ll see.

That is more significant, now up to about 25% of total ABC viewership. The affiliates will probably stick to their guns (my guess) because of the blowback they would receive if they turned tail. Disney most likely let them do as they want. But time will tell. In the larger more liberal markets, Kimmel will get a sympathy vote viewership bump (at least for a while). And maybe Celebrity Family Feud will give Disney just as much national advertising revenue as Kimmel would deliver in those smaller markets.

Disney most likely let them do as they want. But time will tell. In the larger more liberal markets, Kimmel will get a sympathy vote viewership bump (at least for a while).

I have not been following this closely at all, and you seem to be up on the latest.

Is the affiliate response due to their demographics complaints, or due to worry about a merger getting blocked by the gov't. Or both.  I've heard each "side" making a case.

I am not up on the merger part of it. Are Sinclair and Nextstar trying to get FCC approvals? If so, being on Trump’s side of this is definitely strategic. But popular blowback is also a huge factor. Look at how Target has suffered because of popular blowback and being wishy washy. First they got rid of Gay Pride in response to popular blowback (they were losing sales in conservative markets). Now they got rid of DEI and they are losing sales in the liberal markets. For them, the wishy washy factor is extreme. That’s why I think the affiliates will stick to their guns on keeping Kimmel off. And if you are correct that there are merger factors, all the more reason to keep him off.

I was more on the side of what you're saying.

Liberals are saying affiliates are only doing this because they feel Trump will not approve an exception need for the merger.

However, never underestimate the Trump “revenge factor”. But to me it’s mainly about market and “brand” factors. Plus the owners of those companies truly probably hate Kimmel.

He was spreading mis information.

I also understood his contract is up, and late show ratings have been in the tank since 2022.  He also was asked to apologize, and instead was doubling down.  Those who have seen the monologue to be claim he would have never recovered from it, so the network suspened.

I do not watch his show and I am a “middle-of-the-reader” politically so not too vested in the “mis-information” factor. Be careful about over-interpreting viewership. They are ALL down because not many people watch late shows on linear television any more. Here’s some very recent viewership info:

Even so, there are still lots of advertising dollars involved as well as “brand” loyalty factors (like Target has faced).

His show runs at a loss of millions every year

His show is apolitical party broadcast

Anyone remember when you had talk shows were the hosts shut the fuck up and let the guests talk about a new book or film they had coming out?
Exactly. I rarely watch tv anymore but In 100% don't watch it for anyones political opinion.

I watch too much youtube, usually end up going down some rabbit hole and ending up on some topic completely different than what I started on.

So he has to read an apology according to their narrative here and admit he did “something” wrong as being a bad joke when what he said was a statement and not a joke.

Hence the fake tears and probably effective manipulation.

This goes along with their propaganda that it was just a silly joke and is covered by the first amendment to purposely point murder at the wrong group.

Oh look!!

The charity show is back!

Let’s hear it for the confused, bumbling, and frazzled host who was allowed to return!

WOW he’s so important and powerful! Yet, the moment he stepped out of line, the corporation cancelled him. WOW! He’s soooooo valuable.

All the happy and proud fans in the audience. And their eyes lighting up as their frail and shaky king returned to the stage.

Everyone that got tickets prior to him being cancelled were probably so depressed and downtrodden that they thought they wouldn’t get to attend the show.

Then, the best moment ever, when they got the news the show was back!

Can you imagine how excited they were getting ready to travel to the studio?

And as they stood in line waiting to enter the studio, I bet the air was electric with excitement! And then the moment their messiah walked out on stage, I’m sure the applause was triumphant!

Just as excited as all the folks who had orgasms when the cancellation occurred.

If Kimmel was sincere and actually wanted to get better ratings, he'd have conservatives on.

Not all the time, but 60/40 - 70/30 would help.

Interesting point. One thing about Charlie Kirk is I am told that, as strong as his opinions were, he really liked to DEBATE with people on the Left. We could all use more debate and discussion on all sides.

That would require him to be able to back up his opinions and points instead of spewing the dogshit unchecked that he does.

Fuck them.  They are dead to me.  Tossing all my Tigers gear.  Hoping the Red Wings are horrible this year again.  Will never eat Little Caesars pizza ever again.  Will root for the Pistons but until they move out of LCA which is Little Caesars Arena, I will no longer see them play in person.  The Ilitch family owns the Tigers, Red Wings and Little Caesars.  He is the biggest piece of shit owner in sports.  Back to the Tigers.  AJ Hinch should be fired before he leaves the locker room this Sunday.  Tarik Skubal needs to be traded during the winter meetings.  Let someone else pay $40 million for 34 six inning starts.  Garbage.  He ain't no JV, that's for sure. 

GO YANKEES!  Fuck Boston.  Fuck the Cubs.
