    This is the sort of thing that should not be surprising, but it actually is.

    To be honest, a big part of the problem is that normal people has been so passive in the face of this war. It has been extremely one sided for nearly a decade because one of the factions has refused to acknowledge they were under attack.

    It is something I have experienced personally, in that my friends would try to convince me into watching a movie, and when I told them that movie didn't fit my plans because it actively berated my demographic group, I would be labeled an extremist. They would go watch the movie without me, and more racially and politically charged movies would be made. And that was like 8 years ago.

    A decade of paying people who hates you to make cultural products that make it clear you are the bad guy and have to be forcefully removed from society takes its toll. We have successfully normalized that idea to the point a big chunk of the population considers it desirable. Now normal people is waking up to the fact but we let the cancer spread so much before acting on it that it is starting to finally consume us. Recovering is going to need very hardcore chemotherapy.

    kimmel willingly spread disinformation. And he has a comedy show for entertainment. what he did is not entertainment. he's a domestic terrorist that works on dividing our country.

    I saw videos today of them clearing out all their stuff. They know they are not coming back. it's too bad those people lost their jobs because that fool likes to play these games. I liked him before he went political.
    he went from comedy to hate.

    Well i think the real reason is his show was just horrible and he didn't care to improve it. he was so deranged he just kept on his trump talk.

    he was in a long term decline and internet sez 72% loss of viewers from 2015 to today.

    If he wanted to have a political show he should have created another
    political show instead of crapping on his current platform. He's a self important fool.

    and they are saying he talked to abc execs and he said he would not apologize but he would 'clarrify' and the intended on going after more trump supporters. so he's delusional. he's trying to get out of his contract, he's been spotted going to law offices.

    no it had nothing to do with that. it was a noticable decline due to how the show has changed. kimmel even mentioned it several times. he didn't care.

    dude talked about trump and politics all the time. people get sick of that shit.

    I watched his show for many years. I was there in the beginning. he had a bar in the audience and someone puked. they were deepfrying watches in a cooking segment. he got a warning to shape up and he did. then he became a good night talk show host and then it all went to shit.

    If he wanted to have a political show he should have created another political show instead of crapping on his current platform.

    This what Kimmel said. Few people appear to have actually heard what he
    said, but who cares about accuracy any more?

    Trump looked like a fool, Kimmel called it out, and his administration
    is continuing to push a dangerous narrative that "liberal violence and
    hate" is the enemy. Trump ordered the FCC to intimidate ABC, ABC
    probably wanted to get rid of their late night show anyways, and saw a
    patsy.

    Disney, ABC's owner, is also looking for FCC approval for a merger,
    valued at $6.2 billion. We've seen this administration use the FCC and
    the courts to shake down the media, I'm sure this issue will see a
    payment from Disney to somewhere and this'll all go away.

    Except, this time, Disney wasn't counting on a mass exodus of
    subscribers and Jimmy Kimmel has 3 more years on his contract. Rumor has
    it he's already talking to attorneys.

    Nothing in Kimmel's words seems disrespectful to me, and certainly
    qualifies as tame compared to the responses to Paul Pelosi's attack and
    the non-response from the GOP on the Hortman assasination.

    This is what Kimmel said.

    "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."

    "In between the finger-pointing, there was grieving. On Friday, the White
    House flew the flags at half-staff, which got some criticism, but on a
    human level, you can see how hard the president is taking this."

    He then showed a clip of a reporter asking Trump how he was holding up
    in the wake of Kirk's death.

    "I think very good," Trump replied. "And by the way, right there where
    you see all the trucks, they just started construction of the new
    ballroom for the White House, which is something they've been trying to
    get, as you know, for about 150 years, and it's gonna be a beauty."

    "Yes, he's at the fourth stage of grief: construction," Kimmel said. "Demolition, construction. This is not how an adult grieves the murder
    of someone he called a friend. This is how a 4-year-old mourns a
    goldfish."

    I don't think Trump ordered anything. He appointed the people he knew would do what he wanted without him telling them to do it.

    Except, this time, Disney wasn't counting on a mass exodus of subscribers and Jimmy Kimmel has 3 more years on his contract. Rumor has it he's already talking to attorneys.

    Kimmel only has 8 months left on his contract.

    Nothing in Kimmel's words seems disrespectful to me, and certainly qualifies as tame compared to the responses to Paul Pelosi's attack and the non-response from the GOP on the Hortman assasination.

    I have no idea why people got worked up over it, other than they didn't like the narrative he was pushing, and they wanted to squash it. It was tame compared to the stuff that comes out daily from Trump and his administration.
    That said, he'll be back on the air tonight. It'll be interesting to see his monologue. I bet ratings are high compared to what he normally gets.

    Much like after they announced The Late Show was being cancelled, ratings shot way the fuck up in the aftermath.

    Broadcast TV was required to have a certain amount of hours of "public interest" programming, which often included local/national news. That was done away with at some point over the last 25 years, and now news is just another money-generating entertainment avenue.

    That said, I'm not sure we can really go back to that system, as it's apparent if a news broadcast does things that the government doesn't like, they can just threaten to strip the broadcaster's licensing.

    Take a look at the corporation for public broadcasting/NPR/PBS. While yes, NPR does tend to lean left on things (Bias appears to be unavoidable these days), they're nothing like Politico, Huffpost, or any of the far-left news outlets, but that didn't stop the current administration from stripping their funding because Trump didn't like what they were reporting.

    I'm a loud proponent of "Free Speech doesn't mean free from consequences" but those consequences CAN NOT be government censorship, because then it's not Free Speech.

    You can say whatever the hell you want. People can't be forced to hear it, nor can the government prevent you from saying it.

    That all said, The thing that's upset me the most about this Kimmel thing? I've once again wound up AGREEING with Ted Cruz. FUCK.

    yeah they arent as bad but i listen to npr and they like to put their jabs into trump and conservatives.

    in the end with network tv the affiliates and the advertisers are the ones who control if a television show continues on or not. many great tv shows got canceled bercause of advertisers.

    to me it looks like kimmel is a loss, so i'm not sure why they let him continue on. i dont care though. i was a kimmel viewer since day one but i had to stop watching that show when it became a one man 'the view'.

    he's dishing out stuff that most people want so i'm not sure how he can continue on making shows.
