Okay, I bah-hah’d on this one. It is beautiful. Truly.
Sinclair’s ABC stations will air a special in remembrance of Charlie Kirk this Friday, during Jimmy Kimmel Live’s timeslot. The special will also air across all Sinclair stations this weekend. In addition, Sinclair is offering the special to all ABC affiliates across the country.
Sinclair will not lift the suspension of “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” on our stations until formal discussions are held with ABC regarding the network’s commitment to professionalism and accountability.
Sinclair also calls upon Mr. Kimmel to issue a direct apology to the Kirk family. Furthermore, we ask Mr. Kimmel to make a meaningful personal donation to the Kirk Family and Turning Point USA.
Considering the fact that Kimmel is throwing hissy fits all over the place about him being fired, this is poetic justice to the nth degree.
All Kimmel had to do was proffer some harmless expression of concern and sympathy to the family. Or, he could’ve said nothing. Instead, he chose to spread baseless theories about the shooter despite a body of publicly available evidence to the contrary. Free speech is and remains free, but one is never exempt from any consequences that may follow. Kimmel is learning about that the painful way.
An asshat like Kimmel will, almost certainly go down spitting vitriol into the wind.
