Jimmy Kimmel Says Net Neutrality Repeal “Despicable”
Deadline ^ | December 15, 2017 | Greg Evans

Posted on 12/15/2017 10:15:08 AM PST by EdnaMode

Put the axing of net neutrality on Jimmy Kimmel’s naughty list, just below the defunding of affordable health care. Calling the FCC’s repeal of Obama-era net neutrality rules “absolutely despicable,” Kimmel said on last night’s Jimmy Kimmel Live that the actions of the Ajit Pai-led FCC were in opposition to the wishes of 83 percent of Americans.

“I just want to say thank you President Trump,” Kimmel said. “Thanks to you and this jackhole you appointed to run the FCC, big corporations are about to take full control the internet. So merry christmas everybody!”

Kimmel also took the opportunity to remind viewers that today (Friday) is the “last day maybe ever to enroll for health care under the affordable health care act.”

And, he added, “once net neutrality’s gone, we might not even have WebMD anymore.”

Kimmel directed viewers to healthcare.gov to enroll.

Check out Kimmel’s slam above.

That’s all I need to know that the repeal was a good idea.

Enough. Jimmy got ratings for a while being the most angry, self-righteous liberal on the block. Trump was killing his kid. He wanted to punch conservatives. Blah blah blah. But the Liberal Jihadi shtick gets tedious when it gets applied to everything including Net Neutrality.

The Man Show was funny as can be.

Oh no! Internet regulation will go back to the way it was from the time Algore first invented the Interweb until 2015.

They really hate Ajit Pai because hes one ofthem - millennial, minority, “person of color”, etc...yet he doesn’t fit into their Identity Politics framework. They just can’t stand it when people like him support Trump because it highlights their own cognitive dissonance.

Howie Long and Terry Bradshaw threatened to kick the s—t out of Kimmel because his jokes about them were going too far, back when he was doing his NFL picks.

Kimmel should either give up his million dollar contract and run for office, or stick to comedy.

I checked on TV By the Numbers, and his ratings have dropped a little. The year to date ratings compared to 2 years ago is:

December 2015: 0.59/3 rating in adults 18-49 2.50 million viewer average
December 2017: 0.49/3 rating in adults 18-49 2.36 million viewer average

So, has Kimmel morphed into E. F. Hutton, causing us all to “lean-in” to catch his every utterance?

He’s just another unfunny comedian trying to grow a Taliban beard, and using his son as a prop for political ends.

If you can’t stop watching him, at least quit posting about him.

Isn't it time we start putting the (D) label on all of these Hollywood Democrat activists?

Jimmy Kimmel, (D) Hollywood, Says Net Neutrality Repeal "Despicable"

These characters are using their programs to promote the liberal agenda. They need to be identified correctly each time we discuss or write about them.
