….as a result of insensitive comments about Kirk’s assasination. These loudmouthed not so funny comedians have for too long used their platform for partisan political purposes. There are limits.
“Silly Jimmy Kimmel. He should have just called for all homeless people to be killed and he’d still have a job,” the broadcaster Mehdi Hasan observed, referring to the Fox host Brian Kilmeade suggesting during a broadcast last week that unhoused Americans could be killed via lethal injection.
Take it up with ABC...this is not censorship...ABC made a business decision... not everyone on the left is hate filled batshit berserkers.
Jimmy Kimmel admits concerns about his career and the declining popularity of late night TV, sparking mixed reactions from fans. Fans point to hosts' shift towards political topics as a reason for the decline in ratings, while some believe other hosts like Greg Gutfeld are more appealing.
And now he'll try to get on Rogan, Theo Von, Flagrant, etc to kick start his own podcast career.
Problem is, they all see him as a hack and leftist mouthpiece...and likely want nothing to do with him.
Nice to seem him finally off the air.
So much winning for the right.

As if any more evidence was needed that MAGA and it's supporters are anti free speech. The party of we can say what we want, you can't say anything we don't like. Absolute hypocrites.
Kimmel shouldn't have labelled the alleged perpetrator as one of their own (i.e MAGA/Republican) but the rest of his comments were accurate.

Yeah absolutely mental. These right wingers snowflakes and their preputial state of victimhood, how dare you call us Nazi's they scream...well maybe if your side wasn't advocating for policies the Nazi's actually enacted we wouldn't call you that, or at the very least you could disavow those statements.
Kilmeade may have apologised but Fox hasn't taken any disciplinary action and we have had total silence on it from Republican party leadership.
Well CBS took him off the air for time being...the right did not cancel him. Duh...when ever did CBS or Disney ever heeded requests etc of anything from the Trump Admin...they probably were looking for something to cancel the show for a while now.
"As if any more evidence was needed that MAGA and it's supporters are anti free speech. The party of we can say what we want, you can't say anything we don't like. Absolute hypocrites."
Might be that some of them are, but we don't celebrate people being shot for saying things we don't like.
Charlie Kirk did not directly say that Joe Biden should be "shot," but he did say on his show that Biden is a “corrupt tyrant who should honestly be imprisoned and/or face the death penalty for his transgressions against America”. The widely circulated claim that Kirk called for Biden’s execution is based on this July 24, 2023, podcast comment, where he suggested the death penalty as punishment for crimes he attributes to Biden, not an explicit call for violence or shooting. Kirk's assertion was highly provocative but did not explicitly call for Biden to be shot; it should be understood as an inflammatory political critique rather than a direct threat or command.

It is getting close to the line of endorsing the death of Biden. Some of the crazy people could interpret that as a call to action.
Well CBS took him off the air for time being...the right did not cancel him. Duh...when ever did CBS or Disney ever heeded requests etc of anything from the Trump Admin...they probably were looking for something to cancel the show for a while now.
It's the environment the Trump regime has created. Massive lawsuits against media groups it doesn't like, withholding funding to universities and colleges, ensuring only media favourable to Trump get access to the white House, lawsuits against individuals on social media platforms.
It's all designed to silence critic's and make them self censor out of fear.
Might be that some of them are, but we don't celebrate people being shot for saying things we don't like.
I've no doubt you can find numerous examples of people on the right celebrating violent acts against democratic/left wing people if you care to look for them. I'm also quite sure right wing media and social media sources by hyper focusing on left wing people celebrating Kirks death that can make is seem like it's occurring at unprecedented levels, in this particular case maybe it is, maybe it isn't, I don't know, I don't know if anyone has actually looked into it..
What I do know is an absolute fact, actually acts of violence are far more frequent coming from the right wing than the left wing and its been that way for decades.
"It's the environment the Trump regime has created. Massive lawsuits against media groups it doesn't like, withholding funding to universities and colleges, ensuring only media favourable to Trump get access to the white House, lawsuits against individuals on social media platforms."
Opposed to the lawfare against him the previous 4 years and the de-platforming while he was still a sitting POTUS?...nah, both sides are intolerant, the left just claims a moral high ground which they've lost years ago. They invented cancel culture, the right are only catching up now.
"It is getting close to the line of endorsing the death of Biden. Some of the crazy people could interpret that as a call to action."
Yet he wasn't shot now, was he?

You must be kidding us all because you either does not know or ignore he fact that -
I will give you two examples of where the censorship took the form of lies that was actively banned by lies by using to censor discussion on the internet platforms and in the media opposed to the Trump Administration, namely -
The scam by the Biden Adminisnistration and essentially at news detrimental to the Autopen decisions.
Musk expose the scam when buying Twitter and in January 2025 Zuckerman apologized to the people of the USA for being part of the censorship scam under the Biden Administration.
The other fact is where the FBI refused to investigate the crimes like the Biden family money laundering program reported to them by the Banks and also the crimes detailed in the Hunter Biden Laptop. The result was that the endless lies in media like the famous Russian Hoax flourished based on lies fed to the media by the Obama WH, the FBI and the CIA, Fake allegations was leaked to the media as factual and that represent news censorship by the media.
You argued for years and despite no evidence bar lies fed to the media by especially the FBI and the CIA, Three major investigations could found no evidence of any collusion. On 7 December 2016 a report was compiled by the CIA that there were zero evidence of collusion between Trump and Putin in the 2016 election. The report was to be released to the media on 8 December 2016. However, the report was never released and on 8 December 2016 Obama had a meeting with the Security sector to continue with a campaign to get rid of Trump as President. The program devised on 8 Devcember 2016 plan was implemented and it resulted in the appointment of Mueller as Special Council - but he could not find the evidence that there was such collussion. The Inspector General exposed illegal conduct by the FBI and Justice Department to get FIS Court permission to spy on the Trump election campaign.
What is further problematic was the fact that the FBI illegally spy on according to the FISC involved 278 000 people that now turned out the FBI of its 38 000 officer corps countrywide kept 11 000 officers in the Washington FBI office whose fulltime jobs were to spy on potential opponents of the regime. The 278 000 cases exposed by the Court has now grown to 1 300 000 people.
There is full evidence of the above. and the Trump adminsitration stance is clear - when the media lied or misrepresented news, Trump sued them for libel and ABC and NBC paid millions to the body involved in the construction of the Trump Memorial Library in Florida,
Despite the libel issue - there is a number of issues affecting especially the television media. Their viewership has been dropping at an alarming rate and that means some very expensive TV programs are being axed not as a means of censorship.- but to save he financial viability of the media. It is not a threat by the Government - but comprise of facing bankcruptsy or face internal reform.
Incidentally the vewere sship of ABC is down to a quarter of whart is was in 2019 hen teh Rusian C ollusion stgory was at its height, but ince henm people found otherwise and all of ABC, CNN and NBC is in the same shit.financially, .
.
So it only counts if Biden was shot?
No one advocated for Charlie Kirk to be assassinated, such as going on live Podcasts and endorsing and suggesting this. Had that happened, and Kirk had been killed, then it would have been inciting his murder.
If Biden had been shot, Kirk would probably have laughed about it, and taken no responsibility.
SB
BS supreme about both Kirk qnd Bden. Lets start with Biden - he and his son took bribes from China and iran those could come down to being bribed by enemies of the USA and depended on what the courts would decide, However, let me add another issue and that is Biden would never face tral since he is mentally in decline and no court will accept charges against him. His son is involved and Biden tried to pardon him - but is likely to spend many many years in jail once investigation of the issue has been completed and may even face trial for HIgh Treason in his deals wwih China especoially, In Mexico while hs father negotiated with the Mxican President he met with shadyy individuals to strike nusiness deals.
As to your other statement about laughing about Biden being killed you are suffer from dementia, You have a vaue statement based on a single point during debate and now you come up with unpovem and ridiculous BS
Well thank heavens for capitalism ….the law may allow slander in the US under the guise of’ free speech’. The people who vote with their dollars obviously know when things have gone too far, that’s the only reason why these left leaning organizations are sanctioning their favorite mouthpieces.
It’s obvious these nasty types thought they had a clear runway, otherwise they would have put money first….bet they were surprised when they were yanked.
And before you lefties get all upset, I said similar things about Tucker Carlson.
We need honest, but responsible journalism, the Kimmels of the world are just creating more hatred.

On Air Force One, Donald Trump gaggled with reporters on his flight back to the US. The president said that the major US networks were “97% against me”.
He didn’t offer evidence to prove this figure, or how this conclusion was evaluated. He simply said that he read the statistic “someplace”.
“Again, 97% negative, and yet I won easily. I won all seven swing states,” Trump added. “They give me only bad press. I mean they’re getting a license. I would think maybe their licenses should be taken away.”
Murphy called Kirk’s death “a national tragedy”, but accused the president of “choosing to exploit this tragedy, to weaponize the federal government to destroy Donald Trump’s political opposition”.
“Last night, they showed us exactly how serious they are,” Murphy continued. “Trump’s FCC forced a major network to pull a loud Trump critic, Jimmy Kimmel, off the air, essentially saying that any media actor that doesn’t say what Trump wants them to say about Charlie Kirk or Trump’s policies is going to be silenced.
“That’s censorship. That’s state speech control. That’s not America.”
Ja, free speech se moer.

If celebrating the firing of a bullet through the neck pf a young man you don’t like is free speech we can do without it. Your position in all this Blob is disappointing.
Taking Kimmel off the air is the same kind of virtue signalling as "Fair Trade" bananas.
Personally, I dislike how all these shows have been politicised. Conan was the only one I still enjoyed because one could leave political bias at the door and just watch someone be funny.
Most of the more popular comedians despise how guys like Kimmel became sellouts.
It's fine, they're welcome to make their cash. But when the machine has chewed them up and finally spat them out, don't expect me to cry a tear for them.
On a side note, does anybody still watch any of those shows? I'd much rather watch Theo Von, or any number of other comedians, unscripted, and just shooting the shit, in long format.
Also, I see the guy that wrote Father Ted is in heaps of trouble and has been cancelled for simply providing a counter argument to the trans nonsense. Such crazy arguments as men shouldn't use women's bathrooms. I mean, the gal!
Wonder what old Starrie thinks of that.

Amazingly you somehow left out the part where he suggested trans people in women's bathrooms should be punched in the balls. Or the fact that he's up in court on charges of harassing a transgender activist and breaking her phone.
Kimmel then played a clip of Donald Trump’s comments following Kirk’s death. When one journalist asked Trump how he was holding up after the death of his friend, the president responded: “I think very good. And by the way, right there, you see all the trucks? They just started construction for the new ballroom of the White House, which is something that they’ve been trying to get, as you know, for about 150 years. And it’s gonna be a beauty.”
“This is not how an adult grieves the murder of someone he called a friend,” Kimmel said. “This is how a four-year-old mourns a goldfish.”
It would be impossible to ban jokes about these people; they are simply too ridiculous.

Point out where I said he did

Two can play at that game, point out where I said you did.
Because you asked the question in response to a remark I made. I repeat…point out where I said Kimmel celebrated the death of Kirk.
I asked a question in response to a remark you made on a thread about Kimmel being taken off the air. I repeat...point out where I said you said Kimmel celebrated the death of Kirk.
It’s implied…the English language allows for that and you know it. Note the juxtaposition of the two ideas:

Plain as day unless one wants a specific statement and not an implication.
In which case I could simply ignore any implied meanings and respond:

It is becoming dangerous – life-alteringly so – to tell the truth about the Trump regime, or even just to tell truths that the regime finds unflattering. Theirs is the dream of an insecure child: one of absolute power. They want to rule over us with malignant pettiness, to dispense favors and mercy to their allies and sycophants, and to dispense and encourage punishments to those who displease them. They want to control what we’re allowed to say, what we’re allowed to know. And they want to control what we are allowed to laugh at – certainly, never them.
"Amazingly you somehow left out the part where he suggested trans people in women's bathrooms should be punched in the balls. Or the fact that he's up in court on charges of harassing a transgender activist and breaking her phone."
Yes...exactly the point. A woman doesn't have balls.
I guess that comment flew over your head.
Tell me more about the harassment.

Simple answer spreading of malicious lies by anybody - and that in this cae include the media - can turnn into libel claims. In this case it took years to expose what caused the media to lie was cleared up through declassification of documents.
It has zero to do with freedom of speech. I watched many videos and reports where the media accused Trump of being a Fascist who is aiming to create a Fascist dictatorship, There are in fact two issues that has been used as methods that effectively undemine freedom of speech and those are spreading of lies and hate speech that ultmtely leads to riots. Both are in fact criminal in nature, This was the case during the first Trump Presidency and anybody claiming that libel.
There are examples where people other than Trump sued he media for libelous claims the emdia made; The following is just one example:as reported on Aljazeerah, -
Plaintiff Zachary Young sued CNN in 2022, accusing the Warner Bros Discovery unit of destroying his reputation in a segment on its programme, The Lead with Jake Tapper, by branding him as a profiteer who exploited desperate Afghans by charging exorbitant fees.
It was a lie from the word go and the jury involved found CNN guilty of libelling Young. In response to that finding the judge asked the jury to determine the amont of the claim to be paud by CNN as compensation. The Judge - aware of the financial problems of CNN die to rapidly decline in viewers, must not contribute to CNN collapsing as a result of the amount involved.so it ended up (after negotiation) that -

What is neo fascism in simple terms?
Neo-fascism usually includes ultranationalism, ultraconservatism, racial supremacy, right-wing populism, authoritarianism, nativism, xenophobia, and anti-immigration sentiment, as well as opposition to social democracy, parliamentarianism, Marxism, communism, socialism, liberalism, neoliberalism, and liberal democracy.
Sieg Heil Trompf, the beat goes on ...
Yes...exactly the point. A woman doesn't have balls.
I guess that comment flew over your head.
Did that fact that punching someone in the balls is an act of violence go over your head?
Tell me more about the harassment.
It's very easy to look up, go to his wikipedia page or ask Chat.
"Did that fact that punching someone in the balls is an act of violence go over your head?"
I welcome and implore anybody that catches a man intentionally in a woman's bathroom to kick said man in the balls. And when they go down, to keep kicking them in the balls.
I love how you utter the word "violence" as though you expect us to fall in line and clutch our pearls with you.
haha joker!
