Maybe it was always a ratings stunt.

They thought Kirk’s assassination could pump some “life” into “Jimmy Kimmel - Live?”.

I don’t watch it, never have, but taking *ANY* show off the air for reasons related to the feelings or desires of any politician or voting block is a bad, bad thing. *ALL* public officials should be subject to scathing public comments and ridicule, the ones I like and the ones I detest alike.

That's ridiculous. Why peddle DNC talking points here? That is not why he was taken off the air. He used his platform to tell outrageous lies about a murder. If any of us used our platforms with our employers to do something like that, our employers would be well within their right to terminate us.

I agree with that.

But when you use the airwaves to spread vicious lies relative to a brutal, politically motivated assassination, that’s crossing a line.

Plus, Jimmy is losing money for the network and has been for a long time. It’s sad that Sinclair is allowing the wokies to intimidate them into make bad business decisions.

Let Kimmel continue to dig the hole he made for himself. He’s the one who held the gun to his own head and fired the shot. He’ll do it again. He can’t help himself.

These two companies own small market ABC stations. Yawn. Money talks and they are responsible to shareholders.
