WSJ reports Jimmy Kimmel planned to address the controversy had he gone on air Wednesday night. But Kimmel planned to blame MAGA, and Disney execs feared he would just make things worse
They were right
Buried in the direct article
Kimmel had planned to address Carr’s comments on his show Wednesday night, according to people familiar with the matter
A person close to the show said that Kimmel was planning to say that his words were being purposefully twisted by some members of the Make America Great Again movement
After the conversation between Kimmel and Walden, she and other senior executives thought that the star’s approach could make the situation worse, people familiar with their conversations said

Kimmel would have made the situation worse by piling on more criticisms. Good thing the show was pulled.
Good move by Disney execs. (Of course, they should have cancelled the show years ago due to low ratings)
For the first time in a very long time, I might add.
No, now I wish they had given him one more day
Can we get rid of....

Yank drug ads on TV and that’d kill off in a month: CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS ‘news.’ Drug ads prop them all up.
They have a remarkable vice for blaming the victim and largely getting away with it.
Does the article say what “things” would be made “worse?”
This was a business move driven by the threat of a regulatory balk on a merger.

And as pointed out elsewhere, this is similar to when ABC fired Roseanne.

🚨 BREAKING: Jimmy Kimmel was planning on DOUBLING DOWN and ATTACKING MAGA (again) before he got SUSPENDED 🚨
ABC Executives told Kimmel to go on-air and APOLOGIZE… but instead, he had wrote a “VERY HOT” monologue, “taking aim at MAGA” 🤯
Disney said “We can’t have him go on the air tonight” — and they YANKED him from the AIR 📺

Funny that people who purposefully twist other people’s words don’t like it when someone else does it to them.
Pot meet kettle.
Ever since Kimmel contracted TDS, he has been right up there with Adam Schiff in terms of the self-righteousness with which he spews his propaganda. The man is utterly convinced that Trump is virtually Sauron—evil personified— while Kimmel sees himself as on a noble quest to save the world from this menace.
I would love to see them all taken off the air, or at replaced with at least a “funny” comedian or entertainer.
This one-sided circus act: Hollyweird films, LGBTQ-inclusive TV shows, even “pop” songs on the radio charts, have pushed us to the limits and liberals are tasting their own medicine finally for once.
As for the drug ads, I’ve never seen so many in my life, at least one ad a break. Talk about controlling the masses.
I think that train is coming down the track!

🚨 BREAKING: Large moving trucks are outside Jimmy Kimmel’s studio in Los Angeles, and movers can be seen hauling out furniture and equipment
This could truly be the END for Jimmy Kimmel! 🔥
Geeze, the guy’s a basket case of TDS.
I can’t celebrate until they pull the view off the air
