Major networks

All still operating.

Kimmel got the ax because Nexstar and Sinclair gave Disney the excuse to trim the fat of a major cash drain.

Here is the Jimmy Kimmel video. He was making fun of Trump, not Charlie Kirk.

Well the comments that the Dems put out need to be countered. It was the ABC affiliates that told ABC that they weren't going to run Kimmel. It wasnt the FCC or Trump. It was the market speaking and the affiliates either on their own made that decision or people were calling them to remove Kimmel.

Don't let the Dems get away with the narrative that Trump did this.

Question:

What would you rather listen to, Common Sense discussion or bat $h!t crazy nonsense.

I think Gutfeld is successful because he brings comedy to his show and talks about things from a very common sense perspective.

As for the others that are getting canned, they just spout garbage that most of us see right through. I have watched them all and I just don't get anything out of Colbert or Kimmel. They bore me with their liberal talking points and they are not very funny.

It's not the freedom, it's the accountability that libs have a problem understanding!

well stated - the sad fact is that this new era of 'liberalism' is a counterfeit organization - they are really the opposite of 'liberal' - they are the most obnoxiously 'my way or we kill you' organization ever to gain any appreciable representation in our government.

And, like a cancer, their mere existence spreads their infection to other parts of the overall organism.

This is an ideology that must be stamped out - there are no 'rights' for terrorists - they have revealed their murderous nature - they are no more worthy than a roach in the bakery.

"freedom of speech' = ONLY applies to what the government cannot do to punish you for what you say. It doesn't protect you from the righteous indignation you may induce in other equally endowed citizens.

Free speech is not being banned. Kimmel is a media celebrity using his huge platform to outright lie and encourage hate and violence against a huge segment of society. His employer has deemed it detrimental to the companies interest to have those lies, and the repercussions, attached to its brand. Kimmel can continue uttering lies, just not on his former platform.

The truly ironic part of the weeping and gnashing of teeth by the left over this is:

1) They started 'cancel culture'. You reap what you sow.

2) The penultimate example of cancel culture was what the leftist ideas did last week: murdered a man for his speech.

Spare me their cries over people openly celebrating a human being dying.

Sinclair and Nexstar are the ones telling ABC they aren't running Kimmel.

So NOW he starts abusing his power with Jimmy Kimmel and not the news agencies that encourage people like you to kill anyone you disagree with?

You act like Kimmel just got shot.

I'm loving this so much.

Did you see that on TikTok? Not even CNN would stoop that low to make that shite up.

You either believe everything you hear/see on the internet, literally don’t know what literally means and/or are just make shite up all the time.

Here's what you leftists just dont understand. Your actions over the course of years of denying speech, cancelling those you dont like AND jailing those whose speech you dont like have forced the hand of us on the right who support free speech.

We know ideals or even the Constitution will NEVER stop you people once you get power. The ONLY recourse is to use your tactics against you to make you fear ever using them again. We arent playing this game anymore where we play by the rules when we get power while you people break the rules. No more

Kimmel was espousing lies with the intent to foment false narrative. Yes he has the right to speak freely but his employer has the right to can him.

The new talking point is the same talking point and it’s not a surprise.
