Thank goodness his sister, Justine, has a brain.


quote:

Jason Bateman believes that ABC's dramatic suspension of Jimmy Kimmel Live! will ignite a movement of retaliation as he declared 'you just can't stand by.'



quote:

Well, Jimmy getting his show pulled for freedom of speech,' Bateman returned.


quote:

Bateman joins a legion of Hollywood celebrities who have rushed to defend Kimmel, who was taken off the air because of comments he made in his Monday night monologue.

Not a fan of Disney, but they played this perfectly.

They saw the opportunity to end a money losing show and blame it on someone else.

Most business savvy move they’ve made in a decade.

This is not true.

He's getting is pulled because he just parroted a huge lie that was intentional propaganda to help the left. It wasn't even a joke.

They had two large affiliates indicate they would preempt his show for the foreseeable future. It's not all about ABC or Disney.

I’m game. It would probably best anyway to just go ahead and get the show on the road.

serious question - was it certain at the time when Kimmel said what he said? or did they not know for sure yet. it's propaganda for the left either way, but not necessarily a lie, per se, if the facts werent out yet.

The real reason all of the celebrities are mad is because Kimmel was the only late night show based in LA. Now they have to travel to NYC anytime they promote a new show or movie instead of a short drive across town.

Yet Kimmel still has the ability to say what he said. Folks simply have the ability to withdraw their support of his message. That is freedom of speech as well.

Bingo.
Selfishness is the law in LA.
I get so amused when Hollywood and LA act put out and pout.

So NOW context matters?

Oh that’s right. This isn’t someone you want murdered, so they should be treated fairly.

Unfortunately, the left has tried to make the killer out to be a far right wing nut, and the right has tried to make him out to be a far left wing nut from the very beginning.

The guy is a psychopath and a murderer. Then you have politicians trying to lay the blame on a large portion of the population when one person did it.

I hate team politics so much.

These leftists really do not want to go toe to toe with the everyday man. We've had enough of their shite.

Btw, bought the wife and daughter bear mace recently just in case they're bothered by a "big glass framed" mental patient or a dindu

Boycott them then douche bag. He wasn’t arrested. He was punished for bad representation. I can’t work the register at Subway and tell someone to “frick off” cause they have a BLM shirt or hat. I can legally say it all I want. But it’s detrimental to my employer and their profits.
