A long line of left-wing celebrities and members of the Hollywood elite have jumped to their social media to decry ABC’s decision to shelve comedian Kimmy Kimmel after her spread disinformation about Charlie Kirk’s killer on his ratings-challenged late-night show. None of these supposed “free speech” advocates spoke up when conservatives were cancelled for far less.
Several celebrities, comedians, and others who still have an X account, blasted ABC’s decision and urged people to stand up for the biased, far-left, late-night talk show host.
Two members of the Hollywood elite decried this supposed attack on Kimmel’s free speech and both made sure their comments were limited or on mute so people couldn’t respond. Ben Stiller insisted Kimmel’s trouble “isn’t right,” and extremist, left-wing actress Sophia Bush outright said she was muting her own post so she didn’t have to see opposing ideas.

A long line of left-wing celebrities and members of the Hollywood elite have jumped to their social media to decry ABC’s decision to shelve comedian Kimmy Kimmel after her spreading disinformation about Charlie Kirk’s killer [...]And that's the lede?! Written by an A.I.?
Regards,
I did notice that as I was listening to the article.
I suspect the author was being an a$$hole to Kimmel.
On May 29, 2018, Barr posted a tweet stating, “muslim brotherhood & planet of the apes had a baby=vj”. VJ was a reference to Valarie Jarrett. The comment was widely condemned as racist and ignited intense public backlash. Barr later deleted the tweet and issued an apology, blaming the remark on a combination of sleeping pills and being in bad taste.
Network response: ABC immediately announced the show’s cancellation. The network’s entertainment president, Channing Dungey, called Barr’s statement “abhorrent, repugnant and inconsistent with our values”. Robert Iger, the CEO of ABC’s parent company Disney, supported the decision.
The hypocracy of the Left is part of their DNA.
Poorly executed!
Here's how I would have done it:
A long line of left-wing celebrities and members of the Hollywood elite (but I repeat myself) have jumped to their social media to decry the BBC's decision to shelve comedian Heinrich Himmler after she spread disinformation about Capt. Kirk’s killer on her popular morning show. Several celebrities, members of the Politburo, and others who still have an X account, blasted Radio Moskva's decision and urged people to stand up for the famed vaudevillian, who has openly called for the violent overthrow of our Constitutional form of government and the institution of Icelandic-style Apartheid in America, but with "historically marginalized groups" at the apex.Regards,Two members of Chancellor Bismarck's inner circle decried this supposed attack on Himmler's free speech and both made sure their comments were limited or on mute so people couldn’t respond. Beloved circus clown Ben Stiller insisted that Schindler's trouble "isn't coming from the Right," and extremist, left-wing porn star Sophia Bush outright said she was muting her own post so she didn’t have to see opposing ideas, which would undoubtedly expose her gross lack of even the most-basic reasoning skills, and subject her to great personal embarrassment.
The same Bob Iger that fired Kimmel.

It was disappointing to hear his buddy Adam Carolla defend him as he is one of us . If Kimmel were my pal I would have lambasted him as he deserves .
Didn’t Trump get booted off of Twitter? Anybody sweat that?
That’s showbiz for ya.
When I care about what Hollywood celebrities think I’ll... Well, I don’t.
Trump got booted off of EVERYTHING
Carolla defended Kimmels slander?
They are starting a boycott of Disney
Don’t work for them until Kimmel rehired
Can you tell me how you listen to articles? It sounds like a good way to get news while driving.
Kimmel has NOT been fired, by Iger, by Disney, or anybody else.
The rumor is that Disney will bring him back after the heat dies down.
We’ll see how the affiliates feel about that.
If they’re just part of this Kabuki theater.
There’s also rumors he’s pushing to get out of his contract. So maybe not.

If he’s pushing to get our of his contract, it’s because someone else has offered him another gig.
And if someone else is offering a guy with cratering ratings and demos a new gig, then it’s because some backroom deals are being done to keep the guy in front of the cameras...

Remember that time Obama blamed the 9/11/2012 Benghazi attack on some unknown filmmaker named Nakoula Basseley Nakoula and had him arrested because he made some completely obscure, bad movie called “Innocence of Muslims”?
Remember all those Democrats who were screeching about “muh First Amendment” when it happened?
Me neither.
Good times...

Indeed, and the shoe is on the other foot and they don’t like it.
