ABC played this perfectly into a political issue and cut their losses.

It was a pretty shrewd move.

This.

They were waiting for an opportunity and used this.

Of course they did. The spotlight needs to be shone back on ABC and its willingness to keep driving division in America. The timing was perfect.

Wouldn't be surprising.

You mean they cut the fat, and were able to blame it on someone else.

What they had to do lined up with what they wanted to do.

Maybe they got lucky.

I bet Kimmel is being paid handsomely to play along.

The left is trying to control the narrative.

Rush always said it’s always political 100% of the time.

Of course he is. It is why he gets paid so much because he pushes an agenda.

In The Godfather, they sent Michael to Italy in order to protect him. Kimmel just got his Italian citizenship papers.

NY post article on real reason behind cancellation

Basically, a huge broadcasting company is trying to purchase another huge broadcasting company, which, according to the article already has some possible antitrust issues and they don't need this rhetoric on top of it as the guy in charge of the FCC is a conservative and he can stop the purchase from going through.

Absolutely. I thought it was already a story back in the summer that ABC was losing money on Kimmel and he was not going to be carried much longer. He probably knew it as well and decided to push his hate up a notch to be fired and be a portrayed as a victim.

The counter narrative is easy. 1. Kimmel show was a money loser. 2. His rating were in the sewer because of his political bias. 3. He only had liberal guest and only promoted Democrats and Democrat policies on his show. 4. His last monologue isolated half the liberals that still watched his show.

His firing may have been caused by the FCC pressure but it was only because the largest ABC affiliate happens to need FCC approval for a merger approval. It's not pressure from the SEC directly, but by the affiliate pulling out of Kimmel broadcast because of what Kimmel said. It's all on Kimmel and no one else.
