Unfunny Kimmel didn’t get fired because he made fun of Trump’s “grieving process”.
He got fired for spouting lies that were known at the time to be lies by saying MAGA was bending over backwards to say the murderer was NOT one of them, when the facts about his anti-Trump and anti-Kirk sentiments were already known, and his verified homosexual relationship with a guy who wanted to be a female was public record.
He should have kept his mouth shut, but he simply isn’t capable of it given his history.
Yes, he’s nothing but a partisan liar and bigot.
The FCC chimed in, but my understanding is that he was fired when the two biggest groups of affiliates informed ABC they would preempt his show and run something else. And that was as a result of angry advertisers.
ABC told him he needed to smooth it out and basically apologize. He said he was gonna double down...
He fired himself. Looks like the FCC role was very small to non-existent. It woulda happened without the FCC at all.
