I won't defend someone’s speech that won't defend mine. I think there is more to this such as night shows losing viewership and not making money. Stephen Colbert is being taken off and not being is because the show is a money pit.
Gay!!!!!
Found out something:
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.

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.
Jimmy Kimmel pulled off-air following FCC threats over Charlie Kirk comments
Jimmy Kimmel's comments about Charlie Kirk's assassination came under harsh criticism from the head of the Federal Communications Commission.www.usatoday.com

Public incitement is not protected by FCC. The guys statements were made for no other reason than to offend people mourning the loss of a public figure.It’s not.
Per their website;

Where in kimmels monologue did he break one of those rules? And to such a degree they’d forgo fines and instead jump right to pulling a license to broadcast?
The maga crowd is trying to characterize the murderer as anything other than a conservative basically.
He intentionally lied about the motivation of Kirk's murderer as a way to stoke division. This was Kimmel flying too close to the sun. He'd gotten away with fanning the flames of political divide in the country for years with no consequence.
