Social Jimmy Kimmel gets Canceled

[Mr Holmes]

And you are ignoring the statement of the head of the FCC... because... why?

If a statement from the horse's mouth doesn't count as evidence to you, then you aren't interested in evidence.

The FCC can't remove his show.

Man, Reddit is losing their collective shit and it is glorious.

They can do better. They can remove the whole station.

Who knows? It could be how his father treated him over the years. It could be hateful rhetoric from the right. He seemed to a problem with Kirk's rhetoric specifically.

It seems to me someone raised in a conservative family would be more often exposed to right wing rhetoric. How do you know he wasn't put off by the right, rather than inspired by the left?

The governor literally said that friends and family have been telling investigators that he became radicalized by leftist ideology. That doesn't exactly square with your answer.

The FCC chair specifically said they need to remove Kimmel or he will revoke their broadcasting licence.

He didn't just threaten to remove the show, he threatened to remove the network, lmao.

Kimmel's a can but this is ridiculous, he barely said anything.

What leftist ideology? From whom? Who did he watch or follow or interact with that called for killing Charlie specifically?

The only thing close to specific I've seen is that he thought Charlie's hatred couldn't be reasoned with. That doesn't directly indicate he was inspired by anything but Charlie's own rhetoric.

You are lying, but if we pretend it was true, were you cheering it on or outraged?

Not lying. I didn't even know it was happening until Facebook said they were being forced to do so.

 

[CantCucktheTuck]

South Park is next.

 

[ShadowRun]

suspended, he will be back . I shed no tears the guy took it to the next level compared to any other host on network TV, I the pendulum swings far back the other way. It’s over the top but it happens .

 

[Confucamus]

Now that we can move on from this guy finally, who would be a good replacement? I'd like to get back to somebody who shits on both sides equally. Sebastian Maniscalco fits the bill, IMO.

 

[ShadowRun]

I'm guessing that even with Disney's fuck you money and lawyers, they realized a lawsuit would just lead to Trump's Supreme Court.

He's got it all locked down. MAGA won, I guess.

South Park is next.

Nah South Park won’t be canceled

He had no business talking about it. He is a late night talkshow host FFS! He deserved getting canned. Stay in your fucking lane. lol

The governor said that the friends and family being interviewed by investigators are telling them that Robinson had become radicalized by leftist ideology.

She asks him about the leftist ideology at the beginning and again around the 4 minute mark.

Governor Spencer Cox:

"I really don't have a dog in this fight. If this was MAGA and a radicalized MAGA person I would be saying that as well. If the friends were sharing that I would be sharing that as well. That's not what they're sharing. "






Yet Kimmel deliberately said the exact opposite. Why do you suppose that he would do that?

“We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them, and doing everything they can to score political points from it.”

Did he say more? Because what he said here is exactly right. From the very first moments there was rage against the left, and everyone was completely convinced they knew the motives of the shooter, exactly the same way they do every single time.

He doesn't say the shooter was from the right, he describes conservatives doing what they do. Sucking as much political juice out of Charlie's death as they can.

The US government just issued a warning to immigrants to "not make light" of Charlie's death. That's probably the most terrifying thing I've heard in my life, and has no place in a country that even pretends to value free speech.

Trump met with Enrique Tarrio at Mar A Lago. Tarrio thanked him for the pardon, and Trump said "I love you guys". Trump just said he was going to try and get Antifa labeled terrorists, but he LOVES the Proud Boys.

Kimmel was fired for saying something that is pretty tame compared to things Gutfeld says every day, but I've never lobbied for Gutfeld to be fired. And Gutfeld is tame compared to Tucker (who was only fired because he was so extreme he brought the risk of law suits).

I don't know what else to say to you. Conservatives are using Charlie's death as their Reichstag moment and striking out at anyone they can, but it ignores reality. The left has endured far more violence for far longer, and the right hasn't really "had enough". They're just taking advantage of a tragedy.

Hate to break it to you but this is only temporary. He will be back soon, unless he decides to quit.

You sound like a homo right now bro lol. Reeeeee

There ain't gonna be no replacement. The networks are getting out of the Late Night business. ABC was likely looking for an excuse to can his ass, and are probably combing through his contract to see if he violated any terms of it.

Probably go back to running infomercials in those timeslots.

What is the FCC's responsibility as far as television goes?

Remember nipplegate. They were responsible for the investigation into that. Over half a million AmeriCANS called in a complaint on that.

 

[Death By Samson]

What leftist ideology? From whom? Who did he watch or follow or interact with that called for killing Charlie specifically?

He didn't say. But he did say that the friends and family are telling the investigators that the ideology of the shooter is leftist. Some people just want to stick their fingers in their ears and ignore it.

It’ll be interesting to hear Adam Corolla’s response

They’re great friends even though they’re polar opposites in politics

Carolla always attacks the Left, especially the insane lunatics in California

But he never commented Jimmy Kimmel

Even when Kimmel was wishing death on the unvaccinated during Covid while Carolla was bashing Newsom’s covid policies and Biden’s vax mandate

It had to be awkward when they hung out at bbq parties

They were definitely on opposite sides of Charlie Kirk’s murder
