Kimmel Needs to Go

[beagle9]

Damage control for a tasteless joke that people might find offensive.



Kimmel playing the blame game, essentially saying “it’s their fault”.

Again, not something he should be punished over, he has free speech, but it came at the time when idiots were posting videos of themselves cheering and laughing and mocking Charlie Kirk’s death. So naturally it upset a lot of people.

Kimmel thinks he's the smartest person in the room, and he's just toying with those he hates like a cat plays with a mouse. Sooner or later though, the mouse will lead him to the trap door that puts kimmy outside the house looking back in.... This is where the mouse is flipping him off.

Disney did. Shortly after bowing down to the Trump administration's threats, they put Kimmel back on. So no evidence of private corporations refusing to refuse the White House.

That didn't do nothing but make hm emboldened to get more brazing and dummer than he already is. lol

 

[SassyIrishLass]

On the important meter Kimmel doesn't even register.

Just a loud mouth leftist with a platform seeking attention

 

[Marener]

Yes, ultimately it is, but do you think they are going to refuse White House pressures? They are likely saying what they needed to say to protect the White House.

And you missed the part where Zuckerberg said the White House staff would call Facebook staff and curse and scream at the Facebook employees when they wanted content censored

Facebook and Twitter can and did refuse. They had no reason not to.

This administration is corrupted, and everyone knows it. The amount of speech being chilled is untold.

You don’t remember CBS paying Trump millions of dollars to make him happy when they sued him over the 60 minutes story?

 

[Political-Junkie]

Yes, Disney refused trump, but people like Zuckerberg and Dorsey were not going to refuse biden

Zuckerberg did too.

"Basically, these people from the Biden administration would call up our team and, like, scream at them and curse," Zuckerberg told podcast host and comedian Joe Rogan. "It just got to this point where we were like, 'No, we're not gonna, we're not gonna take down things that are true. That's ridiculous.'"

That joke targeted MAGA, not Charlie Kirk. What has Kimmel said negatively about Charlie Kirk? I showed you him expressing sympathy for him hours after being murdered and you dismiss that.

That was basically a bribe to encourage Trump to sign-off on a multi-billion dollar merger with Skydance Media.

CBS refused to refuse Trump, so to speak.

Facebook did finally refuse the xiden admin, and told them they will not take down the truth

This really pissed on the xiden admin

 

[struth]

Zuckerberg did too.

Yep the xiden admin was furious of Facebook refusing to take down the truth

That’s what defendants sometime do when they don’t want to lose a costly lawsuit in court

They settle

Yes, it got to that point, but at the beginning they were like, “whatever you want mr Biden!”

yes, he wrote that, and then 5 days later he started playing the “pointing fingers” game.

Again, i don’t think he should have been taken off the air, his comments were not about Kirk, but he did start playing the blame game, which, after watching dozens of videos on TikTok of people laughing and mocking Kirk’s death, and even today we are seeing kids mocking Kirk still, it was a very bad time to start making divisive comments about the subject.

What really got Kimmel in hot water wasn’t necessarily what he said, but that he said it over publicly supported air waves. And that got people pushing on ABC and Disney to remove him. Again, he has free speech, but lefty’s started this game, and now the right are playing it along side of them.

Cancel culture reared its ugly head once again.

All he did was tell a joke. I asked if you could quote him saying something negative about Kirk. Your answer appears to be "no."

 

[Cellblock2429]

F you.
Kimmel needs to be fired. Immediately.

/---/ When Kimmel was off the air briefly, the networks ran Celebrity Password or some game show that drew 3 times the ratings, and it cost the network nothing.

I already explained that. His comments were about trying to point fingers.

Let do this, we’ll plan the “reverse game”. If this had happened to a left winger who was a favorite of yours and it was a right wing commentator had made statements similar, would the left be up in arms over it?


We both know that answer.

So what? He still didn't say anything negatively about Kirk. The right freaked out anyway and got him taken off the air.

As far as reversing it, it has happened. Trump said disgusting things about Rob Reiner after he was murdered. I didn't call for Trump to lose his job over it. And unlike Kimmel n who had only gracious condolences for Kirk's family and never said anything negative about him, Trump laid into Reiner.

And unlike Kimmel n who had only gracious condolences for Kirk's family and never said anything negative about him ...

What hallucinogen are you on to make up that fake vision?
There is nothing gracious about Jimmy Kimmel. He's a loathsome creep and has never had a good word for Trump, Kirk or anybody to the right of Karl Marx.

 

[MarcATL]

Wow, some idiot comic makes one smarmy comment on network tv, and here we are 48 pages later like triggered frog's legs still arguing over it. You can judge the level of a thread as inversely proportional to the number of pages it goes on as the dumber the topic, the more people join in and the longer they go...

What you're saying speaks to the OP.

This is what he said hours after Kirk was murdered. If you don't find this gracious, that's on you.
