Why wasn’t Kilmeade Fired?

[struth]

look at all revenue streams for the show whiner fuckup.

advertisers were fleeing, and the cost of the show was increasing, they weren't making money

Nobody liked the show

Was 'Jimmy Kimmel Live' a moneymaker for ABC? The decline of late-night points to no

The suspension of Jimmy Kimmel's late-night show highlights a broader crisis facing late-night TV as networks cut costs amid declining ratings and advertising revenue.

Advertising data company Guideline reported that late-night shows on major networks saw their ad revenue decline from $439 million in 2018 to $220 million last year.

Since the MAGA hypocrites are too chickenshit to look at the statements by Kilmeade and Kimmel side-by-side, I'll do it for them.

LAWRENCE JONES: A lot of (the homeless) don’t want to take the programs or get the help that is necessary, you can’t give them a choice. Either you take the resources that we’re going to give you, or you’re going to be locked up in jail.

BRIAN KILMEADE: Or involuntary lethal injection. Just kill them.


.
JIMMY KIMMEL: 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.


What Kimmel said was 100 percent factual. We saw it right here on this forum. The MAGAs scrambled to prove the killer wasn't one of them ,and jumped for joy when they discovered he had a trans roommate. This gave them the excuse to slip off the leash and claim the Dems are all about violence and they are sooooo innocent, conveniently forgetting just how sick they are with bloodlust, all the way to the top of their food chain.

No
You are too TDS infected to stop taking what he said out of context.
They were talking about the man who murdered the innocent young girl on a subway after the city system let him loose after getting arrested 14 times, 7 if them violent crimes including shortly before murdering this girl he brutally beat his own sister.
The other man said (paraphrase) we need to do something to stop cities releasing these people over and over until they eventually harm and/or kill someone.
Killemeade made the comment. He wasn't saying homeless in general, or mentally ill in general. But people like this man.
It was a lousy comment, he knows better. You don't say that while on air. Tensions were still very high shortly after Kirks murder. It was wrong to say it - but only a moron thinks he was referring to all homeless.
That is stupid - but what you can expect from the Karen left.

I continue to pray for you, and your inablity to handle reality

 

[Eman623]

In your head an apology is adequate for suggesting human beings be put to death for the crime of being mentally ill?

Is that what Kilmeade said? Go back and check your own link.

But yes, I would forgive him for what he ACTUALLY said, as opposed to your dog-ass lying characterization of it. Kilmeade made an emotional outburst at a moment of stress for which he apologized.

Who hasn't done that?

 

[IDIOCRACY]

He advocated the actual KILLING of the homeless and mental patients

If that isn’t inflammatory rhetoric what is?

An apology is not sufficient

Agree, that was over the top.

 

[berg80]

As usual, MAGA projects their own failings and crimes onto others.

They made a big joke out of the attack on Paul Pelosi.

Jon Stewart just shredded their hypocrisy to pieces. The whole video is well worth watching, but the best part starts were I have marked it below:

I very much appreciate you posting that video. Stewart is a national treasure.

I wish the power of his message had any chance of making a difference in slowing the slide towards autocracy, but it doesn't.

 

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

As you have probably heard, Donald Trump has ordered all the homeless off the streets.

However, there is nowhere for them to go, and Trump and his cult know this.

So long-time MAGA spokesman Brian Kilmeade said the quiet part out loud, and voiced the obvious Final Solution behind Trump's plan.

Kill them all.

Soylent Green is people.

You excuse this but not Kimmel?

 

[Nostra]

They should have told him to take a week off. Come back with a sincere apology, maybe do some volunteer work at a food bank or soup kitchen.

Men need to be humbled and sincere from time to time. Better to do it now before G-d decides ones fate at the end.

Kimmel refused when ABC told him to apologize.

His show was losing millions before affiliates took it off the air.

 

[Nostra]

Using TV ratings as the cover for capricious political censorship speaks volumes about the opinion Trump has about the intelligence of his cult followers.

Anyone who bleevs that transparent bullshit deserves to be lied to.

.

TV shows are all about the ratings and money, Stupid. Although, the networks have subsidized money losing idiots like Kimmel because he spews their TDS bullshit.

Affiliates bailed on Kimmel, so ABC had to act.

But at least you admit Kimmel isn't a comedian, but a political hack.

 

[OODA_Loop]

You excuse this but not Kimmel?

If only Kimmel apologized like Kilmeade.

That ego cost him.

He wasn't fired because conservatives are infamous for their hypocrisy.

Why does John Stewart think the first amendment gives you a right to a TV show on ABC? Is ABC not allowed to put the shows on they want?

Kill them all.

A humane solution would be to warehouse them safely and give them all the drugs they want.

 

[Eman623]

You excuse this but not Kimmel?

Has Kimmel apologized or at least admitted he was wrong?

I wouldn't have fired Kimmel either. Although he has done and said far worse.

Well, for one, Kilmeade apologized, which Kimmel refuses to do. Although most of us realize you dim wits don't like to reveal the full story.

 

[berg80]

Killemeade made the comment. He wasn't saying homeless in general, or mentally ill in general. But people like this man.

Actually, the other guy said either the people they were speaking about accepts what the government is offering in the way of assistance or they should be locked up. Kilmeade's reply was they should get an involuntary lethal injection, "just kill 'em."

Meaning anyone who would not accept help. Help they are likely to refuse because of mental illness.

 

[berg80]

Well, for one, Kilmeade apologized, which Kimmel refuses to do.

Kilmeade's comment was more offensive by a factor of 20. Kimmel got a fact wrong, he didn't suggest that people with a medical condition be killed.

1) Kimmel intentionally and willfully lied, in an attempt to distort the news and has yet to even say he was sorry, not just to the views, but his employer for putting them in legal jeapardy
2) Kilmeade said something very stupid, and quickly apologized once he realized what was said.

Vasly different thing, and vastly different legal issues
