What a shame. Kimmel had one of the best late-night talk shows in history. Unbelievable what this country has come to.

Idk man, pretty innocuous for a comedy’s show. Don’t like the precedent and chilling effect this will create. The state, through the FCC, pressuring a company to silence someone is antithetical to American ideals of liberty.

This. The last truly interesting late night host was Craig Ferguson.

You are spreading propaganda because it makes you feel good, and gives you a sense of belonging.
The real “facts over feelings” crowd will have no trouble admitting that a psychopath with a gun killed Charlie Kirk, not the entire leftist population.
ETA: This is nothing but a game to people like you.

And even Craig played the sleazy perv. But he was probably my favorite.

The late night show benchmark should be Johnny Carson. He never made that type of commentary. That’s why Fallon will survive. He follows that guide.

Are you really trying to to say the left didn’t characterize almost if not every prominent right wing figure as fascist racist and misogynist?
Also do you really think it’s a coincidence that assassination plots were carried out on Trump and Kirk in what a calendar year? Less than a calendar year?
If you have been told and truly believe that the right is full of nazis then killing their leader would be equivalent of killing hitler.

Kimmel deserves it. He is one hateful, vile human being. Fake as shite. Loves to stir the pot. Not funny.

Yeah, they were probably looking for any reason to rid of him. Too bad, not being funny wasn't a good reason.

People are free to hate what he said and to never watch him or ABC again. The issue here is the FCC putting pressure on stations to shut him down because the President didn’t like what he said. That’s the part a lot of people are uncomfortable with. Does Trump start shutting down news agencies that are critical of him? What happens to Fox News when a Democrat is in the White House?
I understand your concerns based upon the above narrative but the above narrative isn’t correct.
ABC pulled Kimmel because too many local stations have made the decision to preempt the show with other programming. Nexstar was the final straw for Kimmel when they announced pulling the show from 32 of their ABC affiliates. ABC would lose their asses in advertising revenue.

A psychopath with a gun killed Charlie Kirk. Any other take is pure propaganda.
Their response to Kirk’s murder makes that apparent.
