Social Jimmy Kimmel gets Canceled

[Seano]

That was particularly venomous of Kimmel. How can anyone have sympathy for him?

That's what half the people on this forum try to be. They see themselves in Jimmy Kimmel.

Kimmel has a lot of influence with the left and he could have used his show as a way to call out the radicals who were openly celebrating Kirk's murder. He could have helped heal the political division in America. Instead he chose to intentionally lie about the motives of Kirk's assassin as a way to fan the flames in a country where the temperature is already high.

No he didn't, this is a lie.

No, I'm not upset about a guy that uses his platform to offend half the country lost his job, no. I'm skeptical you've lost any sleep over similar things in the past.

Not surprised you didnt adress the government shitting on free speech.

Nobody gives a shit about Kimmel. There is a larger issue at hand here.

If you are upset that Kimmel is an idiot that used his platform to peddle conspiracy shit to his base. Maybe you should apply that same outrage to your orange god. But you wont because you have no integrity and only care about your side.

Makes your post about the pendulum swinging both ways even funnier

 

[Khaosan]

You are going to be seeing a lot of these clips coming back out, and not just abut Kimmel. The left may have memory holed the years and years they unapologetically pushed Cancel Culture on the world, but everyone else has not. To see this incredible shift where people on the left are finally being held accountable and are now crying "cancel culture" is text book "full circle."

Your self righteous justification of your hypocrisy is hilarious lmao. You have a lot of unhealthy anger inside of you, seek help immediately.

would you say it was as 'venomous' as a man saying that 'some amazing patriot' should go and bail out Paul Pelosi's attacker?

fucking 'venomous' because he's mocking some tv guy getting fired? get a grip you pearl-clutcher its like you're some 90 year old spinster FFS

I've addressed it over and over. Jimmy Kimmel is a free man. His life goes on. He won't be fined by any government entity, he won't be imprisoned.

To repeat for like the 10th time today- the lefts mantra when they were doing this to everyone was what? "Freedom of speech, not freedom of consequence" Now the shoe is on the other foot and the left is calling foul. Fuck off.

what would you say about a man saying that 'some amazing patriot' should go and bail out Paul Pelosi's attacker?

do you, too, see yourself in this man?

Private company can do what it wants.

Freedom of speech, not freedom from consequences.

Sound familiar?

 

[Hellowhosthat]

From what I've seen of him he's about as funny as getting kicked in the balls but cancelling him is still snowflake Karen shit.

 

[Dobymick]

Nice little inducing tactic on the pool options lol. What the fuck this has to do with first amendment or freedom of speech if there was no criminal consequence? This is a money and PR issue

Two completely independent companies pulled Kimmel's show from all their affiliate stations before ABC Productions suspended the show. I don't think it has as much to do with "muh trump and FCC" as you think.

I agree. But thats not what happened here now is it you sad cucknadian Maga larper

Yeah sure. Keep telling yourself that.

 

[w00t]

He wasn't cancelled, just suspended it seems. His show may never come back or it could return at any time.

Assuming he's gone for good though, then I'm totally fine with an unfunny hack being shitcanned for being an unfunny hack. He was probably costing the network millions just like Colbert and they're using this opportune moment as cover to do what they've been wanting to do.

 

[Rational Poster]

So from what I understand is the problem wasn't about the joke with Trump not caring.. it was about him making a claim early on that a right winger did it? Maybe my info is off, but that is what I saw.

I can at least understand that versus the joke itself.. it wasn't about the joke, it was about the info leading to it.. is that right?

Jimmy did not try to claim that a right winger did it.

He was critiquing that MAGA was more concerned with proving he wasn't MAGA and blaming others.

He didn't say he was actually MAGA, he said they were desperate to prove he was anything but MAGA.

If it was solely ABCs decision I wouldn’t care. The fact the government tried to force them do so is very concerning.

You sound like someone who would have a very unbiased view on this topic....

Spoiler

 

[Rational Poster]

The guy went on air, over publicly funded and regulated air waves, well after the details about the shooter were known, to gaslight his NPC audience and lie. He proclaimed in a factual statement that the shooter was "one of their own" maga crowd. This outraged many people for a whole host of reasons. His show got suspended. cope and seethe

This is a lie.

 

[Law Talkin’ Guy]

I don’t see how anything Kimmel said was that bad. He didn’t denigrate Kirk with his comments, he commented on the shooter (possibly erroneously, I haven’t been following the details of the shooter since his arrest) and then made fun of Trump for acting like typical Trump when asked in that clip how he’s coping with Kirk’s death.

Neither comments are particularly offensive. I rather would have seen Kimmel canceled on the merits for not being funny.

Worked in the industry. Suspended indefinitely is double speak for negotiating payouts. The show is not coming back.
