Who silenced Kimmel? Take that up with the execs at Disney. Forget the fact that he completely lied about the shooter and the motives of the shooter. The truth is they were going pull him like they did Colbert anyway ,because at some point you can't continue to hemmorage 10s of millions of dollars annually with shite numbers. Late night talk is more of a Boomer thing ,and key demo doesn't watch. Stop trying to turn this into something it is not.

Technically you're correct but the head of the FCC threatened the network. "We can do this the easy way or the hard way." The show was suspended shortly after.

Jimmy Kimmel is a piece of shite human being with zero moral compass. He politicizes EVERYTHING.

In actuality, there is a big difference between cancel culture and consequences for your actions and/or words. Kimmel wasn't canceled due to cancel culture; He was canceled due to his actions and insensitive, thoughtless words which is a swift consequence based on him being a terrible person.

So let me get this straight — y’all spent years screaming about “cancel culture” and “free speech” whenever someone on the right got criticized. But now you’re throwing a party because Jimmy Kimmel’s show got pulled?

You can drop the word “technically”. He is absolutely correct.

With FCC fines. You are apparently too clueless to know that legacy, over the air media are held to certain standards that other media are not. Notice you rarely hear profanity on these networks? Because they don’t want to be fined.

ABC chose to avoid getting fined and possibly sued. The fact that kimmel’s ratings were in the toilet is just a bonus to shutting that bitch down.

I’m just amused that OP thinks an appeal to authority - George Carlin - might be persuasive.

Something tells me that George Carlin would not be a fan of a late night comedian flat out lying to people in an attempted psyop. The phrase "It's a big club and you ain't in it" comes to mind.

Carlin was a woke pussy, he just delivered it in a very humorous manner.

Let me explain cancel culture to you

Going back 10 years to find a tweet of someone dropping an N-Bomb on twitter to ruin their life is cancel culture

Removing an employee celebrating the death of a father in real time is protecting your business from human piss balloons.

You can either accept or reject this, I’m good either way, and probably prefer you reject it so you spiral out like a retard even farther.

What Kimmel said and says is not controversial. It is lies, reprehensible, morally bankrupt, and inappropriate in a civil society.

That’s why he was taken off the air. He’s been saying controversial anti-conservative statements on air for years.

It’s about time people are held to a higher standard of discourse. As if anyone really cares about what I think, but if I post the stuff I’m seeing from teachers, professors, employers (see Taco lady from State Farm Stadium in Arizona), nurses, etc., I would lose my job, and rightfully so.

How can anyone support anything otherwise? These people are evil. Absolutely evil with no moral compass.

How would Carlin feel about apps being invented to follow cops around to dox their home and family so that they could be targeted for violence and having entire networks of people committed to this, you stupid frick?

How low IQ do you have to be to think Trump fired Kimmel? He doesn’t own ABC, ABC fricking hates Trump.

Maybe Kimmel can’t read the room for the 1000th time and said some stupid shite that allowed his already tanking and money pot failure of a show to fall too far and was a perfect opportunity for those execs to let him go.

The logic and reasoning with you stupid frick people is why this country is where it is.

Yall are the same fricking morons that don’t know what a woman is and want to mutilate children, it’s fricking sickening

Didn't one of ABC's biggest distributors decide not to run Kimmel's show? 24 stations or something like that. The advertisers would be pissed cause they paid to access those markets for the folks Kimmel brought to the TV. I'm sure that factored in as well.

No he wasn't. ABC could care less if you lie about Charlie Kirk. Kimmel was fired because The Walt Disney Group - ABC's parent company-was afraid of Trump coming after them. It was an action somewhat similar to the $16 mill. that Paramount (CBS parent co.) paid Trump in a settlement, which would allow Trump to approve their $8 Billion dollar sale to Skydance Media.
As long as Trump signals that he is coming after his media enemies, this will continue to happen. Power and money will always rule the day.

Agree. He'd be appalled that someone was murdered for saying something politically incorrect.

The radical left went from canceling to killing so the right started cancelling. Let’s pray that’s as far as it goes. Nobody wants to see a radical right wing faction rise to prominence.
