Like cats chasing red laser beams the media quickly switched from Charlie Kirk’s assassination to magnifying the preposterous claims that removing Jimmy Kimmel from the air was the worst violation of the Constitution ever.
On the internet the big story seems to be the indefinite suspension of Jimmy Kimmel by ABC. I confess to being somewhat at a disadvantage. The last time I looked at network television my set had four dials: on/off, vertical, and horizontal, volume, and channel. In this I’m not alone. Kimmel’s show had fewer viewers than a number of online podcasters, sponsors were fleeing, and local stations represented by affiliates Nexstar and Sinclair wanted out. The great Iowahawk nailed the flight from network television:
“Anyway, I see people debating who should replace Kimmel in the coveted late night talk chair, and it's like debating who should move into the empty Spencer Gifts at the abandoned Twin Pines Mall.”
A Little History of Democrats and Free Speech
Before discussing the specifics of Kimmel’s suspension, let’s review a little recent history about the Democrats and free speech. Do you remember when Roseanne Barr had her show cancelled by ABC on the false charge that a tweet she made linking Valerie Jarrett to Iran was “racist”? Did you know who was behind axing what was one of the most popular shows on ABC?
“In an interview with the Sunday Times Magazine in 2019, Barr revealed that Michelle Obama personally pressured ABC executives to axe her.
Former ABC president Channing Dungey, who carried out her firing, worked directly with the Obamas at Netflix.”
Roseanne was but one example of the Democrat cancel culture ruining the careers of anyone who disagreed with them.

The left is outing themselvies for all of their followers to see.
People supporting assassination are upset about a TV show cancellation.
“I believe the government pressure was wrong, and I regret that we were not more outspoken about it,” wrote Zuckerberg in a letter to the House Judiciary Committee, which is investigating the suppression of speech on social media.”
Yeah but you and your buds went happily along with it. Your mea culpa is as hollow as your platform. ESAD.
They are for THEIR speech, and death for everyone else.
The retards never learn. TV is no different.
“If you don’t bring in the dough, you gotta go.”
What was your last TV with dials? I had one I bought in school in the 1980s, but even then the vertical and horizonal stabilizers needed a screwdriver through the back panel. I loved playing with them on my parents' TV when I was a little kid. Get that picture spinning.
Always, always…the left is accusing you of what they are doing. Projection is in their DNA.
Democrats = 100% Bolsheviks
No surprice of the trail of fail
They never were and never will be.
Perhaps the networks are now missing their USaid money
Liberals fired and want to fine people for misgendering perverts.
Yep.
