Was Kimmel a sacrificial lamb to drum up outrage for the left?

[Doc7505]

He was let go because Nexstar is trying to get the FCC to change a rule barring them from owning 80% of the TV market in which they would if a merger went through with another company. FCC currently allows only one company having about 20-30% of the market. If the deal gets approved Nexstar got what they wanted as well as FCC and trumplings.

Now, on to your left outrage. Got news for you there is about the same as right outrage and you better do research.

Tucker Carlson one of them.

Tucker Carlson says Trump admin using Charlie Kirk’s killing to trample free speech

Conservative voice speaks out after the White House cracks down on critics of Charlie Kirk since his assassination

Nick Fuentes spoke out against the administration.

Pretty soon your sports games will gone and when you turn on the tv all you see and here is propaganda.

​

People Okay With Murder Outraged By TV Show Cancellation​

Recent events in American society indicated that the very same people who are okay with murder are also outraged by the cancellation of a TV show.
Current American societal trends showed that the exact same people who were willing to condone or even celebrate the brutal, public murder of a free speech advocate were also inconsolably infuriated by the cancellation of a late-night talk show.
"How dare the right extremists cancel Jimmy Kimmel?" howled one left-wing political commentator. "It is literally violence to force him into silence just because he lied about an assassination. What is this, the Third Reich?"
Sources said that free speech to say things that support Democratic positions must be protected at all costs.
"All speech is free, but some speech is freer than other speech," said one journalist. "For instance, the touching, beautiful love notes between an assassin and his trans lover or the late-night hilarity of that national treasure, Jimmy Kimmel, are perfectly good examples of free speech, which should be protected at all costs. On the other hand, engaging logically, calmly, and publicly in conversation with people who disagree with you politically is basically fascism, and we cannot tolerate fascists. I'm fully onboard with violently murdering anyone who would dare violate free speech by calling for civil public discourse and a reasoned exchange of ideas."

Commentary:
Indeed, People Okay with the murder of Charlie Kirk, outraged at the cancelation of the loser has been Jimmy Kimmel.
it’s not really a parody. Many on the left welcome conservatives being killed.
Jimmy just went along with the DSA zeal in the ko;;omh of Charlie Kirk.
His low TV ratings were of no help in this situation/
Neither Swawell nor Colbert can help Kimmel at this point.

 

[IM2]

O'Reilly made a good point this morning - he asserts the possibility that Kimmel was purposefully let go to create support for the left's claim of "censorship and cancel culture".
What Kimmel said about Kirk's killer is both ignorant and stupid - but he has been pushing stupidity and ignorance for years. Why now all of a sudden do this? And by DISNEY?? Like they care!

Makes a good point and possibility.

REMEMBER - the right didn't pull Kimmel off the air - DISNEY did.

Thats lie. A right-wing media corporation told Disney to fire Kimmel or it's affiliates would not air his show.

You guys whine about the liberal media, and thats another lie. Two of the biggest media companies that own most of the TV stations are right wing. Then you have the Salem network, another right wing media company that owns of the local radio stations, which is why right wing talk shows are everywhere.

 

[IM2]

No, in order for that to work Kimmel would need a huge following of his own to jump to. He and the other left wingers don’t have that. Without the media corporations hoisting them up they have no audience at all.

Not over free speech. Was it wrong for Biden to pressure social media to remove and restrict posts that did not agree with Biden’s ideology?

If it was wrong when Biden did it, it is still wrong today.

Nothing wrong, illegal or unconstitutional for an administration to call anyone they want and try to get them to remove lies or be socially responsible. It wasn't "we can do things the easy way or the hard way" was it?

Are you still not concerned about Trump after a judge he appointed said his actions are not based on facts or reality? So he's lying??? Oh yea, you defend his right to lie under free speech. I forgot.

President Donald Trump’s talk of invoking the Insurrection Act could see him deploying troops domestically despite any court orders stopping him.

the United States could be heading toward either martial law or civil war.

First, Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents use aggressive tactics in targeted Democratic-run cities, sparking demonstrations, as happened in Los Angeles. Trump exaggerates the unrest to justify deploying National Guard troops, before his final play of invoking the Insurrection Act to assert total control.

They did more than just talk, Facebook, Google, Twitter all have stated there was pressure put on by the administration. It’s a fact you can’t deal with because you have nothing. You are fine with Democrats infringing on your free speech but not Republicans, I am against the government infringing on free speech. You are a typical party before country cuck.

 

[Hafar1014]

Kimmels ratings were already in decline. There was no need for pressure. He made a fool out of himself because he regarded himself as above judgement.

Sure they pressured them. But what did they do when those companies said no? Aha! That's got to count for something.

You act like every or any act that you feel assaults your free speech is just as wrong as any other act. Like Biden admin tries to pressure Facebook to take down the lies, and doesn't threaten or punish them, is equal to Trump's assault on the first amendment. Got it.

Trump says it should be illegal to bash the president on tv nightly. ILLEGAL. And he goes after companies and sues them and gets them to fire tv hosts he doesn't like. Yea, that's just as bad as what Biden did. But no worse. RIGHT?

I guess you will just give Trump a pass for anything he does moving forward because of that Biden incident with Facebook, Google and Twitter

September 2025, Google admitted that senior officials in the Biden administration repeatedly pressured the company to remove content from YouTube, including material related to COVID-19 and elections. Google described the pressure as "unacceptable and wrong," but did not specify what content was removed as a result.

In 2025 they'll say whatever Trump tells them to say.

Google did not officially endorse Donald Trump. The company, like many others, does not publicly endorse presidential candidates. However, reporting from 2024 and early 2025 indicated that Google and other tech companies made several notable moves to improve relations with Trump after his 2024 election victory.

Trump himself told a conservative radio host in October 2024 that "if you look at Google lately, I think you're going to see they've become much more inclined towards Trump".

And Mark Zuckaberg clearly will lie for Trump

A "hot mic" caught Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg in a revealing moment with Donald Trump during a White House dinner in September 2025. After publicly committing to a large investment, Zuckerberg was recorded admitting to Trump that he was unsure what number to use.

• During the dinner with tech leaders, Trump asked Zuckerberg how much Meta planned to spend in the U.S. over the next few years.
• A visibly unprepared Zuckerberg responded by saying "at least $600 billion through '28 in the US," a figure similar to a recent investment announced by Apple.
• Trump replied, "That's a lot, that's a lot".
• Following the exchange, a hot mic captured Zuckerberg privately telling Trump, "I'm sorry, I wasn't ready... I wasn't sure what number you wanted to go with".

Sorry dude, Biden and his liars are free speech haters as are you, it is the way it is.

Kimmel has settled back to very few listen to his crap

Jimmy Kimmel nears pre-suspension viewership, sheds 85% of key viewers since hyped comeback show

Jimmy Kimmel’s rating boom appears to be circling the drain as the ABC host has lost 85% of the 1.7 million demo who tuned in for his return from suspension.

Well I heard Biden's FBI listened in on Trump's conversations with Putin so Trump has free reign to violate your right to privacy because hey, Biden did it too. We also hate your right to privacy.

Anyways, now I see how the rich have taken over this country. They exploit the stupid. They scream FAKE NEWS on their fake news channels.

That’s what you believe, I don’t believe either side has a right to listen to any of our private conversations. At least you understand how the rich have exploited you. Biden lied like Trump and Obama, and we have no real leadership and no one to step up and take either party over.

And according to you, we never will. So **** it. Trump's just as bad as the other side. Right? Trump doesn't worry or concern you? Is that your position?

Even as a Trump appointed judge tells him that his justification for wanting to occupy an American city is not based on reality. His behavior concerns her, but not you. Not yet. You're waiting for after the insurrection or coup has been pulled off before you will raise concerns. And even then you'll say yea but Biden lied and said if you get vaccinated you can't get covid. Or can't spread covid. Things his own scientists corrected like right after he spoke.

Trump lies and his spokespeople agree with his lies. That or they say he was kidding. Or didn't mean it that way. He didn't say Drink bleach. He said injest detergents. Which is really the same thing. And his scientist stood behind him and shook her head. How come you never bashed Trump for being wrong about Covid?

 

[Rawley]

the United States could be heading toward either martial law or civil war.

Do we get to pillage your villages and rape your women?

Trump going into these cities bothers me and I want him out of those cities, but I also don’t trust democrats who lied to us either. Neither party is worth a shit.

 

[BluesLegend]

Yeah, Don Lemon and Joy Reid are sure making waves. LoL

Dem Losers: What do you mean I'm fired?? But but but...but...

 

[sealybobo]

Trump going into these cities bothers me and I want him out of those cities, but I also don’t trust democrats who lied to us either. Neither party is worth a shit.

U.S. District Judge Karin Immergut, a Trump appointee, recently ruled that Donald Trump's determination to federalize Oregon's National Guard and deploy it in Portland was "simply untethered to the facts".

I can't believe that doesn't bother you. Trump's arguments for sending troops to Oregon had no basis in reality. No truth to his arguments. Or as she put it, his arguments were "untethered to the facts". That's a nice way of saying he's making shit up. LYING again.

AND that son of a ***** is trying to go around her. And he's getting away with it. That doesn't concern you?

This friend of mine who's MAGA asked me "do you think anyone who voted for Trump would tell you today they would vote for Kamala?" That's a good question. I believe most people who realize they fucked up by voting for Trump will not admit they made a mistake. They'll blame Democrats. They should have had a better candidate. Which isn't true. Kamala was a great candidate. Americans are stupid. Women especially. We get what we deserve. FDR and Unions created the greatest middle class and Republicans think Trump and his billionaire friends are going to fix the middle class. They're going to fix us alright. Fix us for good.

Illegals shouldn't have even been an issue last year but it worked on all of you really well. Jobs were plentiful, wages going up, inflation under control. Today we have job hugging not job hopping.

And gays/trannies??? I can't believe that's a presidential issue. How stupid are we? But these two things are what won it for Trump. Inflation, woke, dei, the border.

Jimmy Kimmel wasn't let go. He was suspended pending their media blitz to bring him back and to get everyone off of the Charlie Kirk assassination.

He's back now and is ratings are sinking like a stone in a mill pond.
