After Backlash Disney/ABC Suspend Jimmy Kimmel for Toxic Comments Following Charlie Kirk Murder
The demonic voices exist within an echo chamber. When you drive away moral audience members, you end up with a group who spiral out of control. Connection to goodness, morality and decency is lost.
Thus, ABC host Jimmy Kimmel delivered a toxic monologue on Monday evening where he ridiculed President Trump in the aftermath of Charlie Kirk’s death and blamed the shooting motive on the MAGA mindset. Backlash followed as the segment was shared with a wider audience who were reminded of the hate espoused by leftist cultural leadership.
Nexstar Media Group, which holds an FCC license and operates 2oo partnered broadcast ABC stations, announced they would not broadcast Jimmy Kimmel Live. Soon thereafter Sinclair Media Group, another FCC licensee, announced they were also not going to broadcast the Jimmy Kimmel Live television show.
As the backlash mounted from affiliate television stations, eventually Disney Corp who owns ABC announced they were suspending Jimmy Kimmel effective immediately.
WASHINGTON – Disney said Wednesday it would indefinitely suspend comedian Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night show following the host’s comments on the fatal shooting of conservative organizer Charlie Kirk.
[…] “Jimmy Kimmel Live will be pre-empted indefinitely,” an ABC spokesperson said Wednesday evening. The spokesperson did not specify why the network had decided to suspend the show. An episode of “Celebrity Family Feud” from July aired in its place Wednesday night.
The decision follows a firestorm of criticism from conservatives, including Federal Communications Commission Chair Brendan Carr, who implied that his agency could suspend broadcast licenses if it did not take action against the comedian. (read more)
As noted by Megyn Kelly, “I’m not sure who needs to hear this but Jimmy Kimmel got on the air and falsely stated as a fact that Charlie Kirk’s killer was MAGA, smearing an entire movement and Trump in particular with a vile disgusting lie – and at a time when the threat against those on the right is at an all-time high.
This was *after* we knew from the UT gov that the killer had been indoctrinated into LEFT-wing ideology, *after* we’d seen the shooter’s bullet casings reflecting furry/trans memes, calling Charlie a fascist and w/anti-fascist lyrics. It was *after* we had learned the shooter was living with his trans-furry boyfriend and believed Charlie Kirk was “full of hate.” *After* we learned that the shooter was not registered GOP, but “unaffiliated.” *After* we saw him pull the trigger just as Charlie discussed trans killers. There was zero – ZERO – evidence the shooter was MAGA, had ever been MAGA, or was influenced by MAGA in any way.
This was an intentional lie to GIN UP HATRED toward the very group of people most suffering in the wake of our devastating loss of Charlie and Kimmel did it willfully and even gleefully to a cheering complicit audience.” (source)
