He might have thought he was too big to be fired. He might have thought that lies were okay. The left really really wanted Charlie Kirk’s killer to be right wing. And lies have worked for them before.
“We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang trying to characterize this kid who killed Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them,”
Total lie in this new world and in this new day, they aren’t tolerated.
ABC yanked his happy ass right off the air. Indefinitely. And they said this:
Andrew Alford, the president of Nexstar’s broadcasting division, added that Kimmel’s “comments about the death of Mr. Kirk are offensive and insensitive at a critical time in our national political discourse.”
“We do not believe they reflect the spectrum of opinions, views, or values of the local communities in which we are located,” he said. “Continuing to give Mr. Kimmel a broadcast platform in the communities we serve is simply not in the public interest at the current time, and we have made the difficult decision to preempt his show in an effort to let cooler heads prevail as we move toward the resumption of respectful, constructive dialogue.”
The FCC is taking a strong interest also.
Kimmel’s comments, meanwhile, also caught the eye of the Federal Communications Commission, with the chairman, Brendan Carr, suggesting Wednesday that the late-night host’s remarks may land him and the network in hot water.
No big loss for Kimmel to be off the air. But the fact that even television networks are taking action is astounding to me.
