ABC Cancels Jimmy Kimmel’s Show Indefinitely After Kimmel Lied About Charlie Kirk’s Assassin Being a MAGA Conservative

Perfectly said. I am an Indy voter. I am so happy to see after 10+ years of the Left getting their way and now they finally have to pay the Fiddler. Lying over and over. Knowingly lying over and over.
I love it.

The left will keep on crying. I love how all of sudden the left is for Free Speech. They sure seem to have a very short memory. One word. COVID. Remember how were all were told to die and go to hell if we did not go along with the lefts narrative?? I surely do. Originally Posted by RALPHEY BOY

to fancy remembering ANY of that.

... Where was the "free speech" then?? ...

... ABC/Disney gave Kimmel a chance to apologise BEFORE
they suspended his show - and he refused.

... Now I heard from President Trump today - He said that
Kimmel's show being cancelled is because of LOW RATINGS
more than anything else.

Apparently quick too.
Tyler Robinson attended one semester at Utah State University in 2021.


Does this 'indoctrination' apply to technical schools as well?
Tyler was a student at Dixie Technical College's electrical apprenticeship program.

You know, President Donald Trump’s administration is pushing for elite universities like Harvard to invest billions in vocational training. Originally Posted by RX792P

Ironic, isn’t it. Canceled at the behest of the head of the FCC, who threatened to pull ABC affiliates’ licenses. Charlie believed in free speech, and he was killed by someone who did not.

Kimmel hasn’t been a comedian in a decade, at least. He’s an advocate. He didn’t get canned for speech, Tiny. He got canned because getting rid of a guy who pisses off half the country is a good business decision. Originally Posted by Jacuzzme

Kimmel pissed off a bunch of local affiliates with his lies about the Kirk killer. Leading ABC to make the decision (long overdue) to kick him to the curb. Lying has consequences and no network is going to defend that to the FCC Originally Posted by Lantern2814

Than the affiliates would have dropped the program. Got a link to that happening or concrete steps to that action? And love how y'all maggies call it lying.

Was it lying or just reporting what the media at the time was saying. Kid was born and raised MAGA anyway. Impossible to remove the maga from a person in a short time. Originally Posted by royamcr

It's a proven lie. As you very well know. Yet you and the rest of the usual suspects have to keep trying desperately to make people believe you. And even idiots like Cobert, Kimmel, and the cows on the View can't do it. For the first time, you hateful people are getting to feel actual consequences for your actions. And you're all crying about it. Originally Posted by Lantern2814

But none of y'all maggies want to do that.

Saying it's a lie is not proof. Do the legwork and supply that proof here.

Ad naseum, the guy was brought up rightwing. That is his roots. Misguided as he was to justify his actions, he was dyed in the wool one of y'all.

Regardless of why they canceled the show it was not just improper for the FCC to threaten the affiliate licenses of ABC it was illegal in my book.

Having the government threaten the speech of a broadcaster because they found it offensive is a first amendment violation. Originally Posted by txdot-guy

Give it a rest dude.

1) ABC can fire any employee just for making them look bad. Its in their contracts.

2) Kimmel isn’t a “Broadcaster” either.

Lefties have got an excuse for everything except their own bad behavior. Originally Posted by TheDaliLama

2. Who cares? Oh, the maggies do because it made the manbaby throw a tantrum.

that is the point of the FCC dude. you don't like it because you believe idiots like Jackass Kimmel can use the airwaves to spew leftist dog whistling without consequences



there are always consequences and free speech is not an absolute right Originally Posted by The_Waco_Kid

Nobody cares whats in your book. Kimmel lied and ABC can lose their license for his lies. This is the power of the government being wielded by your political opponents. How you like them apples, eh?

LOL... You were told over and over that weaponizing the govt. was gonna have a bad outcome. But the leftards thought they'd never lose another election.

Cry harder. Maybe you should bring a lawsuit...

No problem. Let's apply the same Brenda Carr 'logic' to Fox News/Jesse Walters

Jesse
https://www.politifact.com/factcheck...=jesse-watters

Fox News
The lawsuit revealed internal Fox communications in which hosts like Tucker Carlson, and even News Corp chairman Rupert Murdoch, admitted they knew the claims of election fraud were false. Despite these private admissions, they continued to give platforms to election deniers out of fear of losing viewers to rival networks like Newsmax.

Oh yeah, Newsmax...April 2025

The pro-Trump channel Newsmax defamed Dominion Voting Systems by falsely accusing the company of rigging the 2020 presidential election, a Delaware judge ruled Wednesday.

BTW, Carr has a built in excuse for not doing this...FCC only regulates broadcasters, not cable channels. Originally Posted by RX792P

I think we can safely speculate that Kimmels show had about the same production costs as did Colberts show and his ratings were even lower. Both were losing money and audiences. Bid surprise.

It was his last straw… Originally Posted by TheDaliLama

He will probably be back on the air next week. This was ABC's decision, not the FCC. They will be back to losing tens of millions of dollars with Kimmel very soon

A few quotes from Kirk on the First Amendment,

“My position is that even hate speech should be completely and totally allowed in our country. The most disgusting speech should absolutely be protected. The ACLU used to hold this viewpoint. The American Civil Liberties Union, they sued so that legitimate Nazis could march through downtown Skokie.”

“As soon as you use the word ‘hate,’ that is a very subjective term. Then all of a sudden it is in the eyes, or it is in the implementation, of whomever has the power.”

Here's what he said at the Oxford Union, in the United Kingdom: “Free speech is a birthright that you gave us, and you guys decided not to codify it, and now it’s—poof—it’s basically gone.”

MAGA won’t always be in power. If we allow the government to control what content gets published then the next administration will do the same.

Then we start having the type of censorship that they have in China and Russia.

Ignoring much less cheering this type of censorship is unpatriotic in my view.

What happened behind the scenes that led to Kimmel suspension

https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/...221340328.html


The decision to yank Jimmy Kimmel’s show off the air wasn’t quite as rash as one might think. The issue had been brewing all week throughout the executive ranks at Disney and ABC — ever since Kimmel made comments during his Monday night monologue about Charlie Kirk’s suspected killer and, as he called Trump’s supporters, the “MAGA gang.”


Kimmel’s remarks Monday attracted ire from the critics on the right, which put it on Disney’s radar. On Tuesday’s show, Kimmel doubled down, saying, “Many in MAGA-land are working very hard to capitalize on the murder of Charlie Kirk.”


But it wasn’t until Wednesday afternoon, after FCC chair Brendan Carr went onto a conservative podcast and threatened to pull ABC affiliate broadcast licenses, that the matter really escalated. Then Nexstar — the station group which airs “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” in approximately two dozen markets — announced they would not air the show.


According to one of the individuals familiar with the situation, Kimmel was prepared to deliver his monologue on his show Wednesday night and planned to address the right-wing backlash to his remarks made earlier in the week regarding the politicalization of Kirk’s killing. This individual describes Kimmel’s planned monologue as “very hot,” taking aim at the MAGA base.


It was then that Disney executives had conversations with Kimmel about “taking down the temperature” of his monologue, according to the individual. Nexstar announced its plan to pull Kimmel’s show at the same time.


That’s when Disney CEO Bob Iger and Disney Entertainment Co-chairman Dana Walden made the decision to preempt the show indefinitely — in hopes of protecting Kimmel and the Disney brand from accelerating the controversy.

here's Jimmy's punishment if he wants his show back on the air


he better take it.



Jimmy Kimmel Asked to Apologize and Pay Charlie Kirk's Family if He Wants Suspension Lifted by Nation's Largest ABC Affiliate

The media company Sinclair wants Kimmel to apologize to Kirk's family and make a "meaningful personal donation" to them and Kirk's nonprofit Turning Point USA

https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/...181703238.html

• Jimmy Kimmel has been given a list of demands to return to air by Sinclair, the broadcasting company with the nation's largest ABC affiliate group
• The requests come after ABC "indefinitely" pulled Jimmy Kimmel Live! off the air after the host's recent comments about Charlie Kirk, the conservative political commentator who was killed on Sept. 10
• Sinclair is asking Kimmel to issue an apology to Kirk's family and to make a "meaningful personal donation" to Kirk's family and Kirk's nonprofit, Turning Point USA

Sinclair, the broadcasting company that makes up the nation's largest ABC affiliate group, is giving a list of demands for Jimmy Kimmel to return to air following the show being "indefinitely" pulled.


The media company said in a press release on Wednesday, Sept. 17, that it "objects to recent comments made by Mr. Kimmel concerning the assassination of Charlie Kirk" and, after discussions with ABC, made the decision to "indefinitely preempt" Jimmy Kimmel Live! beginning that night.


"Mr. Kimmel's remarks were inappropriate and deeply insensitive at a critical moment for our country," Sinclair vice chairman Jason Smith said in a statement. "We believe broadcasters have a responsibility to educate and elevate respectful, constructive dialogue in our communities."

... See? ... Kimmel knew his statement was a lie.
And so did ABC/Disney - who told him to apologise.

Because IF Kimmel didn't know it was a lie, then ABC
surely informed him that is was.

... And still - Kimmel refused to apologise.

... You might wanna remember that we're not IN a
Court of Law here... And neither was Kimmel and ABC.
As it's NOT Kimmel who makes the decisions there.

Sinclair also calls upon Mr. Kimmel to issue a direct apology to the Kirk family. Furthermore, we ask Mr. Kimmel to make a meaningful personal donation to the Kirk Family and Turning Point USA.

BTW...posted by Kimmel before the on air statement
“Instead of the angry finger-pointing, can we just for one day agree that it is horrible and monstrous to shoot another human? On behalf of my family, we send love to the Kirks and to all the children, parents and innocents who fall victim to senseless gun violence.”

Thank goodness for the government-approved, administration-compliant Daily Show and patriotically-obedient host Jon Stewart.
