He was fired because his ratings were in the tank and he became a liability more than an asset. The fight to keep him wasn’t worth the effort since he probably would have been cancelled in the near future anyway, just like his pal Colbert whose show is not renewed past its April ending date............................

I read he is suspended not fired.
He exercised his right to free speech and then his employer exercised their right to free speech, what could be more perfect??
Cancel Culture was used against Republicans for simply being conservative.
The Democrats now being cancelled are because of their abhorrent behavior and that’s the key difference.
“But should the government be involved in calling for Disney to fire Kimmel?”
Government officials have 1st Amendment rights too. As long as they don’t threaten to use their official powers, in anyway, they should be able to speak their mind.
The CLAIM is over him calling the shooter “MAGA”, although I thought the “Goldfish” comment was worse.
They have every right to fire him.
That said, I do agree, and thought this prior to reading this, we should not have the FCC threatening to pull licenses over free speech - claiming it “not accurate”. If we set that as a precedent I can only imagine what the D’s will do when they’re in office next.
Let the marketplace sort it out. We have slander and libel laws already.
Semantics
But should the government be involved in calling for Disney to fire Kimmel?
No.
But, the government licenses the public air waves to private companies. Should these private companies then have total control over these public airwaves? What about all the rest of us?
I was just going to say Kimmel has a team of writers
Not one said, hey Jimmy before you say MAGA..there is proof the shooter is a gay leftie with tranny boyfriend
My point is, they all knew but opted to willfully lie & slander anyway to protect their gay, trans cult
This is long overdue, Kimmel is awful
This is what we have all been told for decades! Turn the other cheek! Don’t come down to their level! You may hate the speech but you have to defend the other person’s right to say it! I could go on. IMO, this is why we are where we are as a nation. The left has been pushing the envelope so far that lying by MSM, politicians and even TV personalities has been normalized and accepted. We don’t have to accept it anymore and we are speaking out about it and fighting to bring us all back to sanity and stopping the propaganda.
Didn’t Trump call for the broadcast license of CBS to be pulled and the FCC to issue the strongest possible fines and punishments re: segments on Greenland and Ukraine that cast him in a negative light (arguably) ?
“Did he know when he said it that it was false? I don’t know.”
He saw what one of his writers wrote for him and liked it. No vetting, no intellectual curiosity - just libtard behavior.
He hasnt actually been fired. Sinclair has laid out conditions for his return. I suspect he will leave

You acting like Jimmy Kimmel was shot by maga on a rooftop.
Schumer demanded Fox stop airing Tucker. Now Schumer cries for Kimmel. Kimmel can spew all he wants on his own channel.
Smells like a need for "affirmative action".
Exactly, he needs to work for himself.
