'They failed': Trump ridiculed for failing to take down Jimmy Kimmel

[Couchpotato]

He had talked about this being his last year anyway

He can go to YouTube and make a ton of money

Likely because his ratings were so terrible. He wasn’t getting a new contract anyway. I don’t think he’s going to kill it on YouTube. No one was watching him on network TV with everything that goes with that from a production and advertising perspective. I doubt moving to YouTube is going to increase his popularity.

Blame Trump? Why not if the TDS voices in your head convince you.

 

[Concerned American]

His pay will remain the same anyway

Big win for Jimmy

ABC had to cave--they have a short time left on their contract. Nexstar and Sinclair don't have to honor that contract. LOL, nice try though.

 

[Rawley]

Trump should be ridiculed for TRYING to take down Kimmel, or anyone else who pisses him off. This petty revenge shit is getting tiresome.

LOL Still flogging the canard that Trump got him suspended? LOL Too funny

 

[Rambunctious]

You really believe that?

tRump has had a hard on for Kimmel for over a decade

You don’t think that tRump would tell his guy to get Kimmel?

You don’t see our government saying “we can do this the easy way or the hard way” as a problem?

Ted does

Lying to his audience is not what ABC wants... and that's what he did at a very sensitive time... the FCC had zero to do with that... you are just use to the last administrations tactics and so you pin that on this one... Cruz has already said he may have spoken too soon....
Sinclair pushed ABC and Disney so call them...they are still going to prement his show...

And what "canard" would that be, douchebag?

 

[Dr Grump]

So what are the affiliate owners saying about it? Will they air Kimmel's show after refusing to do so earlier? Of course you propagandist will pretend that never happened, but it did.

.

But if never should have happened in the first place.

 

[OKTexas]

But if never should have happened in the first place.

What, their two largest affiliate owners telling ABC they weren't going to air his show? That's the market place in action.

.

 

[Synthaholic]

39 affiliate stations will not be airing his show. Big liberal win, right?

Yes, because there are now campaigns to boycott local businesses that advertise on Sinclair.

 

[Synthaholic]

Not really, as Nexstar has also joined Sinclair. The TDS buffoonery on late night TV is ending. Get used to it.

TV is ending. Get used to it.

Sinclair did not reinstate him nor did the other affiliates. So he's only been reinstated to about 20% of his previous audience. Hardly a victory.

I guess my local station is owned by ABC, they aired his show tonight. Of course I'm not watching.

Still working on that reading comprehension, eh? Perhaps if you elevated your vocabulary above vulgar juvenile insults such as "douchebag."

Meh. It's called censorship. Nothing more. Nothing less. You can dress it up all you want.

Really? Are you saying he has a right to say anything he wants on the public airwaves, regardless of what the network and their affiliate owners think?

That's what lefties always think....
There are no rules at all for them.

 

[shockedcanadian]

They should have given him a weeks rest before a strong apology. Ditto for Brian Kilmeade for his comment about the homeless. Free speech shouldn't be squahed but media should.expect their employees to at least stick to "sane" with their comments.

Yet many of them lost their jobs permanently, Kimmel was lucky, but if the affiliates don't air his show the drop in revenue will will cause ABC to cancel his show.

Personally I don't think he's going to last.

It's not possible for him to change his brand.
Also they're going to have a hard time explaining why Roseanne was put out permanently for similar reasons but never returned.
