Media Darling Jimmy Kimmel Says [bleep] You’ to Critics, Fundraises for Left-Wing Everytown

ABC’s newest entertainer turned activist isn’t backing down, after intense criticism for his recent turns at blaming the right for people dying in a shooting massacre and overturning ObamaCare.

Jimmy Kimmel is now actively seeking out media coverage of his left-wing activism, outside of what he does on his late night comedy show. In a response to an artist-critic in Hollywood, (of all places,) Kimmel took a photo of himself giving the finger to the artist, with a message calling for support for the left-wing gun grabbing group Everytown for Gun Safety.

Kimmel sent the provocative photo to entertainment media outlet The Hollywood Reporter Thursday afternoon, as a retort to ads mocking Kimmel as a “cry baby.” Along with the photo, Kimmel told THR: "I encourage all fellow cry babies to support Everytown for Gun Safety — everytown.org."

Kimmel’s response came after an artist named Sabo placed fake ads and posters of Kimmel Thursday morning on street benches across West Hollywood, in close proximity to Kimmel’s home and the ABC studios where Kimmel records his shows. The posters featured an image of Kimmel crying, made to look like Johnny Depp in the 1990 movie Cry-Baby, with the text, “The Jimmy Kimmel Estrogen Hour.”

Sabo told THR that the posters were to counter Kimmel’s gun control tirade, which he called partisan and factually inaccurate:

The entire media industry has been taken over the Left.

Is there a conservative talk Sport show?

Just tune out and stop buying anything these guys are selling.

You have that right. Its even gone one step farther with Jimmy Kimmel working Chuck Schumer on his talking points and Jon Stewart clearing his show script with the Obama WH. And dont get me started on Trevor Noah or John Oliver; two of the most unfunniest “comedians” out there. Shows filled with the type of bile you described, squared.

This was the week of 9/11-15 before “Jimmy Kimmel Says ‘F**k You’ to Critics” lets see what happens the next few weeks:

ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” held steady with a 0.44 for the second week in a row but hit a three-month high in viewers.

I’m very disappointed to her about Kimmel’s pathetic nosedive into liberal virtue signaling. I much preferred him to the other late night host named Jimmy. I don’t really watch any of those worn out talk shows anymore anyway so there’s nothing to boycott.

Sounds like Jimmy Kimmel does not want to be on TV anymore. I hate to inform him of this little fact, but his show is going to take a dive in ratings.

He is not in the same tribe as us.

I am increasingly intolerant of the (((msm, educational and entertainment complex))) who push their satanic values and socialism and communism upon this country, generally speaking. They have their own country. They need to go there.

Yes, the late night shows prove that we have a democrat/communist media/entertainment/academia propaganda complex. All of the show march in the lockstep of Lenin’s “Iron Discipline.” None of them dissent from the “party line.” They all parrot the same political ideological positions every single night.

Their false righteous bitter harangues are just not funny.

Jimmy Kimmel and Tim Kaine are setting back mongoloid Americans.

Are there really that many people that watch and attend these shows? Baffling!

Kimmel has about 2 million viewers nightly. At his peak, Johnny Carson was drawing 15 million viewers nightly...in a country with 100 million less people than today. So, these late night comedians today can survive with a very niche audience of loony leftists. His viewers are probably the same people that watch Rachel Maddow. Times have changed, the late night comedians do not have near the influence of yesteryear.
