Is Jimmy Kimmel a victim of a free speech crackdown ?​

You are of course referring to his use of "black face" correct?

 

[buckeye]

I agree with Brit Hume.

Kimmel was declining in the ratings and ABC was looking for an excuse to drop his show.

There may come a time when the useful idiots here get what they want -- those of us who dare to disagree may no longer feel comfortable posting here.

America, 2025.

He started with the AP.Everyone laughed because it neatly displayed the brittleness of his character. Narcissim writ large.
His attacks on late night hosts just targets a small demographic and I trust they will get work elsewhere.

His attacks on legal firms and universities are more concerning. In truth nobody gets upset seeing lawyers getting a beating. But they do fulfil an important role in society.

How can you get a free trial if the state picks your legal team ? Its just not possible.

I dont see trump as bright enough to work this out for himself. It has required a higher level of cunning than trump has. One of his Project 25 goons no doubt.

First thing I must say, why would a "comedian" consider it entertaining to talk about politics regarding a dead who was assassinated?

This should be left to CNN, Fox, MSNBC and other biased news networks.

Furthermore, he suggested clearly for political reasons "he was a MAGA guy", which appears to be false on the face of it, but furthermore illustrated the usual "our team vs yours".

Beyond that, he should have a right to speak freely. I just question the logic of some. It's clear to me that there are forces looking to harm American within. They are on both sides to varying degrees, but the far-left are sewn up by the MSS, often unwittingly.

First, because it's funny. It's what half of America wants to hear. It's insane the things Trump says and does. The only way we see it is on

And lots of people love this shit. Sorry that Hitler doesn't like it so is forcing it off the air. Now we have shitty tv like in Canada.

Proof you are swallowing lies is they say left wing violence is the majority of it. But we know 55% is right, 22% is left and 22% is islam

Free speech isn't only speech you approve of. You have to approve of speech that crosses the line. And what line did Jimmy cross? None.

You don't even know what he said. Here's what he said:

"The Maga Gang is 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."

Nothing wrong with that, right?

Then he mocked Trump's reaction to the shooting. When a reporter asked if he was doing alright "how you holding up?" Trump immediately started talking about the new ballroom he's putting in the White House.

Kimmel said: "This is not how an adult grieves the murder of someone he calls a friend. This is how a four-year-old mourns a goldfish,"

Yeah, it's pretty easy to see the processes at work here. People like Stephen Miller, Peter Navarro, Lutnick and the P25 guys are giving him the ideas and he's hammering them home. Anything that provides the revenge he's after. Meanwhile, his family is raking in billions from their crypto grift.

America has become a bizarre mix of Mafia family, neofascist regime and cult. America just doesn't give a shit. Okay.

I think his fate was sealed a while back.

When? If you mean the day Trump won, yea.

 

[TroglocratsRdumb]

Kimmel is drowning in dumb liberal bigot hate.
However, he should not be censored.
Maybe they should put a warning at the beginning of his show.
Kimmel is another one of those left wing crackpots who thinks that Tyler Robinson is a conservative.
Robinson is gay and his boyfriend is a transsexual furry.

Robinson probably loves to watch Kimmel's TV show.

Doesnt Kimmel have a rght to say whatever he wants ? Doesnt that make theUS special ?

Second sentence

 

[TroglocratsRdumb]

It is not clear that the FCC told ABC to cancel Kimmel's show.
The FCC probably got a lot of complaint letters about Kimmel.
The FCC probably just warned ABC.
ABC has probably taken this a an opportunity get rid of Kimmel us unprofitable show, and then blame it on Trump.

Not according to the ratings.

 

[Dogmaphobe]

Actually, Charlie Kirk is the victim. He is dead.

He is the victim of people like Tammy Taint.

 

[Papageorgio]

It looks like it to me. You may disagree with him but being distasteful should not be illegal.

I saw a small clip of what got him banned and it seemed reasonable enough. The right has gone into overdrive on this issue with several leading members of the regime making unwise comments.

The killer has not even gone on trial yet.

It isnt the job of govt to stifle debate. That used to be an american belief but now it doesnt seem to be a thing.

It started with the banning of the AP and he got away with that. America needs an enshrined right to free speech not just approved speech.

Kimmel has every right to spew his hate and the FCC nor any government arm has a right to force a private company to restrict their speech.

We have the 1st Amendment of free speech, which no other country in the world has close to it.

Sad day for America and we must voice our opinions and outrage against it. This is wrong.

 

[sealybobo]

"Lots of people love it".

Let's see the ratings with him gone.

And I thought Colbert was about him losing CBS money. This recent attack on free speech was because of hate speech. And look at you celebrating it.

At 11:30 p.m. The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on CBS is the top-watched show by total viewers, averaging 2.417 million viewers, while Jimmy Kimmel Live! on ABC led in the key 18-49 demographic.

Trump just killed another industry. Cable. It was dying anyways but....

I just cancelled my cable. Now I can afford Trump's tariffs.

I'll just have to get my anti Trump info from the internet.

Are they going to cancel the Daily Show too?

No. Kimmel was losing money, and he lied about who killed Charlie Kirk, so ABC removed a show that was losing money.
