re: Add me to the list of saying Kimmel did not say what people say he said.

No one here had anything to do with Nexstar and ultimately ABC removing Kimmel. That was their decision.

Ultimately, one should be able to voice displeasure over the words or actions of another individual if they disagree with them. Isn't that the foundation of what the country was founded upon? Free Speech.

I am free to voice my opinion and the government can't silence me.

However, my employer has the right to determine if my words are not congruent with their philosophy.

No one is even saying that. We are happy he is fired because for years now Kimmel has been a mean spirited lying propagandist masquerading as a “comic”. One of several I might add. People are rejoicing because there seems to now be some karmic balance in the world again and perhaps the left has lost their inoculation to irrational partisanship.

Since when does misinformation get you kicked off the air?

Maybe- call me crazy-because it uses public airwaves to actively pour gas on a cultural fire that threatens to result in mass bloodshed and civil war?

not that bad.

Would Kimmel have been fired for saying “the left tried to pretend George Floyd died from anything other than fentanyl OD?”

Of course he would’ve. And he wouldn’t have been lying. And you’d be in here defending his firing.

I think you need to take a step back, listen to what you heard and saw, and stop listening to and watching CNN. You're gaslighting here.

Nope, you left some words out.

I'm paraphrasing. Of course I left words out. It does me no good to restate the entire line.

"Brian Kelly spent the entire press conference desperately trying to characterize the LSU offense as anything other than abysmal."

That doesn't mean the speaker believes that the LSU offense is abysmal. It's implied, but it's not directly stated. The quote is speaking about what Brian Kelly did.

This was about money. Like everything that involves large corporations. If Kimmel was making ABC big money, he could toture a puppy on air, and he would still have his show.

It's not what he said and only what he said then and only then. What got him fired was the fact that he has a long history of being a complete douchebag spewing blatant lies, in a comedic way, about Trump and the right in general. Then he said this, where he not only insinuated but said in a definitive way that the shooter was "MAGA" and that the right is trying to score political points off a political assassination. I think it was just the straw that broke the camel's back. He fricked up one too many times, and he did so at the wrong time.

Had he waited a couple months before saying what he said, he'd be preparing for tonight's monologue as we speak. Instead, he said it less than a week after the shooting. Too soon!
