Social Jimmy Kimmel gets Canceled

[Rhood]

ABC has suspended "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" following comments the late-night talk show host made on the fatal shooting of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.
"'Jimmy Kimmel Live' will be pre-empted indefinitely," a spokesperson for the network confirmed on Wednesday, Sept. 17.

"Mr. Kimmel’s comments about the death of Mr. Kirk are offensive and insensitive at a critical time in our national political discourse," said Andrew Alford, president of Nexstar’s broadcasting division, of which ABC is an affiliate.
Earlier on Wednesday, Federal Communications Commission Chair Brendan Carr had urged local broadcasters to stop airing the show on Disney-owned ABC DIS.N.

Don't do things that negatively impact your employer . Fairly simple. Keep your stupid comments to conversations at the dinner table or the comforts of your own home.

The backstory:

During Monday's broadcast of "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" the host accused the GOP of hitting "new lows" on how the party reacted to Kirk's death.

"MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them," Kimmel said. "When everything they can to score political points from it in between the finger pointing, there was grieving. On Friday, the White House flew the flags at half staff, which got some criticism, but on a human level, you can see how hard the President is taking this."

Kimmel then mocked Trump's reaction to Kirk's death, who was the one announcing the conservative activist's death to the nation.

"[Trump is] at the fourth stage of grief construction, demolition, construction. This is not how an adult grieves the murder of someone he called a friend. This is how a four-year-old mourns a goldfish," Kimmel said.

Now this loss of employment I don't mind.

 

[rocketskates]

What exactly did he say?

He assumed and stated that the person that killed Charlie Kirk was MAGA. Or that’s what I’m reading online. This was obviously prior to the evidence coming out.

 

[Brother Numsi]

I don’t agree with this.

I would take Jimmy Kimmel off the air because he sucks not because of a “joke” he made about that ghey shooter being a MAGA supporter or not.

 

[HOLA]

What exactly did he say?

Said MAGA wasn't being honest how they handled the shooting, and then made fun of Trump for bragging about his ballroom when asked how he was taking Kirk's death.

 

[Only Here for Attachments]

Sounds like a violation of the First Amendment, especially because the FCC threatened the ABC stations first.

Something tells me the FCC isn't going to have a problem with Kilmeade saying we should exterminate all homless people, though.
