I don't believe for a second that ABC (or CBS or NBC or MSNBC or any of the rest of them) were at all offended by Kimmel or any of the others that have been busted this week. They were dancing in the aisles when the recording gear was turned off. They're just doing CYA now.

The leftists just don’t get it.

We were already done playing their game.

Their reaction to cold blooded murder ripped off their mask forever.

Now millions more are done playing their game.

Ignore the facts, miss the point, gaslight, and be obtuse. This is what we'll see from the left on this, and it's no surprise at all. Oh, and histrionics, plenty of histrionics.

And he was crying for Colbert being cancelled.... If he only knew, he would have demanded the emmy for himself.

Maybe he can do the Black Face Podcast.



"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

I could have sworn I saw a clip of Gutfeld practically predicting this.
Something like Kimmel was going to pay.
I wish I could find it.

A few weeks back, President Trump said- after Colbert's cancellation- that Kimmel was next.

"Even hateful speech is protected"

Really.....? Have you been paying attention the last few years, or is hateful speech only protected when it comes from the left? I seem to recall people on the left calling for an absolute end to hateful speech, or anything that resembled hateful speech (read as anything they don't like)

They did this because ABC affiliates owned by Nexstar and Sinclair, huge companies that own local stations who broadcast the network in thousands of local markets, basically told ABC they will not broadcast Kimmel's bullshit anymore, and they contractually don't have to. And ABC can't do shit. ABC had zero choice.

I think it was both, in addition to Jimmy already hurting the pocketbook. I think they've been losing money long time but somehow recently they can no longer afford to keep these losers.
Almost like even while losing money, they could afford to prop him up anyway.

If the lowlife lefty who shot Charlie is put in front of a Utah firing squad maybe Kimmel's show could carry it live as penance.

See my tagline.

Nobody’s 1st amendment right are being violated. Jimmy Kimmel can still say whatever he wants to.
When you represent an entity, you should expect them to protect their brand.

The libtards are big mad tonight over this, you should see them all on social media right now, whining and sputtering on about Dictator Trump ordering this, how this is an outrage and un-American etc.

It’s hilarious Big Grin

What a hoot!!
