Social Jimmy Kimmel gets Canceled

[Confucamus]

For those who haven’t seen it, here’s what Kimmel actually said during his monologue:




Nowhere in that monologue does Kimmel say anything disparaging about Kirk, nor does he lie. Some have claimed that the “anything other than one of them” part is false, but that’s not true. Right after the shooting, on social media and even here, people were immediately speculating that the shooter was transgender, despite there being no suspect in custody at the time. Kimmel’s statement was a factual observation about attempts to mischaracterize the shooter, not a lie.

It was a lie. The shooter leaving references to transgenders etched into his bullets was reported by the Wall Street Journal. It didn't just spout out of some Facebook group or something. The only ones who were fighting like hell against all available evidence as it began rolling out was the left. They wanted so bad for him to be a right winger, that they fell for a false report from David Shuster online that said the assassin that killed Kirk was a conservative who didn't think Kirk was MAGA enough, despite no corroborating sources. They absolutely went with this on social media while still celebrating Kirk's murder. They pushed that lie here too. Despite having confirmations about the assassin's motives and political leanings, we are still seeing people trying to push the lie that it wasn't a leftist. Kimmel knew what he was doing by intentionally lying about the assassin's motive with the intent of fanning the flames of division in the country. He was actually the one trying to score political points with that lie.

You said you only supported them in 2023, yeah? Here's you a few months out from the election in 2024:

Still had a job to do, did they? Weren't "genociding" anyone at that time, eh? Hmm...I wonder what changed your perspective all of a sudden...

I honestly don’t know what you think this proves. I’ve never denied I supported Israel attacking Gaza. I think going to war with Gaza is the right thing to do after 10/7. That doesnt mean that I don’t believe you can go to far.

What’s a little ironic here is I am responding to you and kind of agreeing with you. Let me ask you something though- remember when I said that Israel has been knowingly committing war crimes? Remember when I said Iran and Qatar bombings changed my support of Israel? Had those things happened yet when I made that post?

No dingus, they hadn’t. My opinion has nothing to do with Trump. He’s not responsible for what Israel does and neither was Biden. Any of this getting through that skull?

'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' Pulled 'Indefinitely' by ABC Over Charlie Kirk Comments

'Jimmy Kimmel Live' was taken off air by ABC and Nexstar after Trump’s FCC chair called on broadcasters to stop airing the show.

www.rollingstone.com

In the hours leading up to the decision to pull Kimmel, two sources familiar with the matter say, senior executives at ABC, its owner Disney, and affiliates convened emergency meetings to figure out how to minimize the damage. Multiple execs felt that Kimmel had not actually said anything over the line, the two sources say, but the threat of Trump administration retaliation loomed.

“They were pissing themselves all day,” one ABC insider tells Rolling Stone.

Even before Trump won the 2024 election, he and some of his closest advisers had plotted how to use the FCC and other powerful federal organs to punish late-night comics whom Trump has hated for years.

And ...?

The networks & FCC have trafficked false information for years, everything from DNC talking points regarding the Trump/Russia hoax to the 'good people on both sides' hoax and COVID.

Sacrificing Jimmy Kimmel in the hopes to avoid further consequences will hopefully fail.

 

[Rational Poster]

Uh-huh, and that's a whole lot different than what you said. The implication is clear. You can deny it all you want, but Jimmy Kimmel will still be fired for his obvious lies.

No it's not clear that he was intentionally lying to fan the flames. It's clear that his message was MAGA was more excited to point fingers than they were upset over Charlie's death. And Trump himself didn't give a shit at all. It also mirrors his earlier social media posts immediately after the shooting.

 

[heavy_hands]

Kimmel isn’t the least bit interesting or funny, regardless of which way you lean politically. I’m all for freedom of speech, but saying something that negatively impacts your employer is grounds for termination. fucking dummy,,,always thought he looked a bit slow

 

[Confucamus]

@Confucamus since you won’t respond but are liking posts arguing (poorly) with me, I take it that you are in fact cool with cancel culture?

Ignoring you is cancel culture now too? lmao My God, you guys are soft.

Jimmy’s another POS

He drew the line in the sand during the COVID scam days

He can eat shit

 

[lowlife]

Is this what Charlie Kirk would have wanted? I thought he was a "champion of free speech?" What a joke.

This suggests that at least some of the executives in charge of the parent company didn't think he had said anything untoward and the show was cancelled directly due to pressure from the FCC and the Trump administration.

He wasn't fired for pissing off the employer, the employer was threatened by the federal government to fire him over his speech or else.

That would make this a violation of the first amendment, in direct contradiction to your statement that I quoted above.

But in June or July of 2024 they hadn't gone too far in your now conveniently enlightened mind? Parking lot wasn't big enough at that point? Not enough starving children by then?

What’s a little ironic here is I am responding to you and kind of agreeing with you. Let me ask you something though- remember when I said that Israel has been knowingly committing war crimes? Remember when I said Iran and Qatar bombings changed my support of Israel? Had those things happened yet when I made that post?

Yes they had. At least in terms of what you now believe are "war crimes". They were killing journalists, bombing aid stations and hospitals, etc, etc. You didn't give flying fuck about any of it, until a Republican President was funding it.

My opinion has nothing to do with Trump. He’s not responsible for what Israel does and neither was Biden. Any of this getting through that skull?

You're just lying, though. The timeline of your about face on the conflict is clear.

He was. Kimmel has, and will always have, the right to free speech. His employers have a right to discipline or fire him when he intentionally lies with the purpose of fanning the flames of division in the country while on their network. It's not that complicated.

 

[Substance Abuse]

He doesn't care... peddle even more lies and fan the flames of division across the country. Does he want more violence or something?

Sounds like Mango Mussolini.

You’re literally doing, right now, what he claimed Trumps fans are doing. The fact that you think “lefties” or whatever are doing the same thing does not make it a lie.

 

[Kung Fu Kowboy]

Last time I watched Jimmy Kimbel was when he would do the NBA Finals Pre Show... But I don't even remember that being recent.

 

[Confucamus]

Sounds like Mango Mussolini.

I personally think Teddy Dozevelt or Tannibal Lecter are funnier nicknames. But there are a lot of good ones.

 

[Scott Stapp]

Imagine being such a snowflake that you turn Jimmy Kimmel into a free speech symbol. Little ballwasher Toe Rogan must be pissed right now.

You are forgetting Nexstar needing approval for the merger. Kimmel has been a dead man walking since the merger was announced because the merger needs FCC approval. It the same reason people like Tim Apple bring Trump trinkets when the meet. Suck up to Mini Strokes and you can get what you want. The FCC works for Trump now, and for all MAGA talk about liking Trump for saying it like it is, Trump like most narcissists needs to be liked, which is why he does not like late night hosts making fun of him. Trump mentally cant handle being made fun of and it goes back to Trumps Dad, Fred Trump publicly saying Donny is an idiot. Imagine you father publicly announces you are an idiot. It would make most people very thinned skinned.
