“The state under Donald Trump has amassed a chilling record of restricting speech, extorting private companies, and dropping the full weight of the government censorship hammer on First Amendment rights. This is no exaggeration. Trump’s attorney general has directly confirmed that they’ll come after you for your speech, and now his FCC chair has doubled down. It’s not the bully pulpit anymore — it’s the thought police presidency.”
Wanda Sykes, comedian
“I was supposed to go over and have a chat with my friend Jimmy Kimmel on his show, but as you have heard by now, the Jimmy Kimmel Show has been pulled indefinitely. Abruptly, because of complaints from the Trump administration. So let’s see. He didn’t end the Ukraine war or solve Gaza within his first week. But he did end freedom of speech within his first year. Hey, for those of you who pray, now’s the time to do it. Love you Jimmy.”

I mean, Biden had the FBI issuing directions to Facebook and that’s not a conspiracy theory, Zuckberg admitted it.
Kimmel was just a political program. Never ever saw any entertainment.
What I think isn’t being emphasized enough is that his comments were not news, was not a joke, was not a speculative opinion.
It was a deliberate lie to inflame an already dangerous political and cultural situation. Sort of a classic shouting “fire” in a crowded environment.
They only care when something they like is taken away. They don’t give a damn about free speech.
“ABC fired him, not Trump. I predict they bring him back”
Per gasparino they’re under FCC scrutiny for trying to sell. This gives them a liability the FCC would look at as an obstacle. Something like that
Trump has sued them already. Successfully.
This was a lie. That’s a problem in a lawsuit for the liar which is ABCs boy
No one’s watching. When we were in college we all watched Johnny’s monologue. We had nowhere else to go. We were home at that hour and Johnny was funny. And pleasant. And didn’t care what we did, thought or said. That’s what young people want
Kimmels crowd is not growing with young people. And never would
He’s done.
The Left is dishonest, just like Kimmel, they ae lying about why and HOW he was taken off the air. Just like they lied about Kirk, they are liars.
Nothing about using the show as a platform to spread blatantly false information.

Kimmel and Colbert can go on the comedy circuit together!
Douche and Douche Bag
I suggest you go home, climb in bed, put a pillow over your face and scream and cry. Let it all out, all the hate, all the anger, all the rage that has taken over your pathetic life.
You must release it if you are to know true peace. Think about it, you have let the termination of a failed late night talk show take over your world and transform you into an angry and bitter unhappy looser.
Meanwhile we at FR will delight at your suffering. It is well deserved and I see much more of it in your future.
Has AP stepped over the line?
Gee, Dan, where was your deep concern when people were being doxxed, demonetized, canceled and fired for covid crap.
Shove it, ash ole.
How many people actually watch his show, and what is the cost vs benefit to the Network?
Ken, not Dan
That chick is both fugly, and without a lick of talent.
I watched with Carson sometimes, Leno rarely, everyone else was simply boring. The shows cater to people who don’t have to work in the AM.
More like 30 percent of the ABC affiliate stations dropping Kimmel after his remarks.
Estrogen hating, Juggle Girls, pig-fest of misogyny. That show ran for five years.
Don't forget Kimmel in blackface. Lots and lots of it.
What Jimmie Kimmel says on the air is a matter for Kimmel and his employer.
