The network’s decision came Nexstar announced its ABC affiliates would pre-empt “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” indefinitely over his comments.
“Mr. Kimmel’s comments about the death of Mr. Kirk are offensive and insensitive at a critical time in our national political discourse, and we do not believe they reflect the spectrum of opinions, views, or values of the local communities in which we are located,” said Andrew Alford, President of Nexstar’s broadcasting division.
Charlie winning even in death
I Don’t Watch TV
The Hamas-AP doesn’t report what he said: he lied about the killer being MAGA. There is a government rule that disallows broadcast networks from knowingly broadcasting false information about a crime. So ABC could have had its license revoked, as FCC commissioner Carr threatened.
Never would have happened in a Biden administration. Tide’s turning.
Pure bliss
Thank you Hashem!!
Also because, like Colbert, he is a nasty partisan hack who got less and less funny everyday. Shame because he really is a talented guy.
This is not about free speech rights in the civil sector. It’s not even about cancel culture. Culture is what it is. It’s about the government leaning in on corporate America to control the media. We are well on our way to being an Authoritarian nation.
Tell me lashon hara without telling me lashon hara…
Cancel culture. Kirk would never have stood for it.
There is some irony in people being punished for speech about Kirk, a free speech absolutist.
