Jimmy Kimmel Admits But Says it Wasn't Intentional
Brave se ^ | 9/24/2025 | Charmaine Patterson

Posted on 09/25/2025 7:56:25 AM PDT by TN4Trump

And that is, you understand that it was never my intention to make light of the murder of a young man.

...

Nor was it my intention to blame any specific group

...

And for those who think I did point a finger, I get why you're upset.

During his (non) apology he said "it was never my intention
to make light of the murder of a young man" and "Nor was it my
intention to blame any specific group".

Admitting something wasn't "intentional" does not prove it didn't
happen — in fact, it implies that it did happen. He is admitting
that he DID make light of the murder and that he DID blame a
specific group - but claims that it wasn't his intention. He even
says "for those who think I did point a finger, I get why you're
upset".

Still no apology! Not even a "sorry if you were offended".

Another point is that he doesn't use Charlie Kirk's name.
We don't know who the murdered "young man" is. He could
have been talking about George Floyd or as Jasmine Crockett
would say "some random dead person".

At least Bill Clinton said Monica’s name after saying: “I did not have sex with that woman...”.

It indeed WAS his intention to blame a particular group. He’s a damn liar, and not even a good one.

End of a era....by the end of 2026...I expect all of the networks to have ended late-night shows.

He made a joke about murdering a young man with two kids and blamed MAGA/Trump. Why not be a man and own up to it?

The apology is just as fake as the ratings being reported for his return...

It’s not my intention to ever watch this crap or give Disney another penny.

WDW Pro just released a 22 min vid on Kimmel’s alleged ratings...

Worth the watch.

I keep hearing how these shows are actually losing money for their networks.

I’ve heard Jimmy Kimmel’s contract expires sometime next year. It would be very easy for ABC to just say they’re not renewing his contract. That’s similar to what CBS did with COLBERT, as they indicated, they’re not even going to have a late night show anymore after Colbert’s contract expires.

Note to Sinclair and Nexstar...

I hope you’re watching that WDW Pro vid on YouTube.

The news of the killer's left-leaning motives were public knowledge hours before Kimmel went on the air. Kimmel's words were suggesting that MAGA was planting this news to indict the left.

That was the "desperate... character[ization] of this kid" that Kimmel was implying was untrue MAGA disinformation.

And if anyone from WDW Pro, or any of its mwmbers, is/are lurking...

The NYPost has changed that headline, without letting the reader know that it was changed.

Check out the new headline.

The info that was in the headline is now in the article only.

BS. Clowns like Kimmel have a dozen writers for his monologues, which he reads from a teleprompter. What he said was pre written and approved by himself and a dozen writers and producers. Lying bastard.

May 2026...Kimmel’s contract ends. Some talk before this of an extension (say 2 or 3 years). That talk seems to have ended.

Lot of the stations (ABC, CBS, NBC)...seem to see the future...that you as a local station can program better, and find better commercial ‘returns’. I tend to agree.

To be honest...if you ran roller derby, Friday night boxing, stuff like Amish-Mafia(History Channel), etc....you’d do better than presently.

Numbers I saw 2 weeks ago....all three peaked in 2014 on audience numbers. All three have a quarter-to-a-third of the audience of 2014. Where they went? Streaming video.

I say all of this...not watching the BS (I live outside of the US, since 2013). What clips I’ve seen...none of the three are funny any more.

So who has done more damage to the brand, Jimmy Kimmel or the Snow White actress? They could have their own awards show.

Well, I canceled my subscription to ESPN+ after his non-apology. I’ll have to go back to listening to my team’s away games on the radio.
