Kimmel lied to his audience when he blamed the murder on the ‘MAGA gang,’ violating FCC regulations that prohibit news distortion or a hoax.
FCC Chairman Brendan Carr has done the impossible: He got ABC to consider the tone of its often offensively partisan programming and make a change. Disney-owned ABC abruptly pulled Jimmy Kimmel Live! from its broadcast lineup late Wednesday, hopefully ending Kimmel’s ugly career.
The move is more likely in response to Carr’s threat of consequences for ABC, issued on The Benny Show podcast with Benny Johnson, than Kimmel’s unfunny, untrue monologue insulting the conservative movement while it mourns the senseless loss of one of its brightest lights.
“We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it,” Kimmel said.
It was a tone-deaf pack of lies. The alleged assassin is not MAGA. At 22 he is not a kid. And he has numerous overtly leftist characteristics. Kimmel tried to throw his viewers off the scent of the truth, and, with a sickening mirth, kicked hurting people while they are down. The few fools who still watched his show surely assumed his words were true. Many people get their news from so-called comedy monologues and assume the premise of the “joke” is at least accurate.
Kimmel straight-up lied to his audience, violating FCC regulations that prohibit news distortion or a hoax. According to the regulations:
The broadcast by a station of false information concerning a crime or catastrophe violates the FCC’s rules if:
- The station licensee knew that the information was false;
- Broadcasting the false information directly causes substantial public harm; and

All of the foaming at the mouth by the usual suspects is a waste of foam.
Disney was just waiting for a chance to pull the plug on a show that nobody watches anymore. Re-runs of ‘Bambi’ would likely do better audience wise.
Kimmel was on the way out either way. Carr just gave the Left ammunition to scream censorship and try to make Kimmel a free speech martyr.
didn’t he have trouble a while back being in black face or something?
kimmel and bits...
Wait, what?? Has The FCC ever heard of the Steele Dossier?
Hunter’s Laptop , Russia Russia Russia , Safe And Effective Vaccine, get yours today !
All fake , all championed by the press . The Vax one is scary , the whole blinking world bought that hook line and sinker
Perhaps but I doubt Adam Corolla will take him back.
I think Corolla owned those.
“ Wait, what?? Has The FCC ever heard of the Steele Dossier?”
Network broadcasting. CNN can still lie through their teeth.
The Sinclair TV stations wanted Kimmel out. They are the ones who own the FCC license.
These are local tv stations that rely upon advertising from the local businesses in their broadcast area.
The local stations do not want to upset their local advertisers by having a degenerate like Kimmel being aired to their customers.
ABC, NBC and CBS never pushed the Steele Dossier???
“Re-runs of ‘Bambi’ would likely do better audience wise.”
Well Bambi would be funnier.
Now the Dems are foaming at the mouth that the cessation of Jimmy Kimmel’s show was a violation of his First Amendments rights. They have sponsored a free speech bill.“It’s repulsive, repulsive that the Trump administration is perversely using this awful death to supercharge their long-standing campaign against political opponents,” said Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer. North Dakota Sen. Kevin Cramer told reporters that he wasn’t concerned that a “veiled threat” from the FCC may have led to ABC’s suspension of Jimmy Kimmel.
“If that’s what scares off ABC, maybe they need a little bit of a scare,” Cramer said Thursday.

Do I smell another Substack entrepreneur in the making?
It’s the time of Wyatt’s “ hells commin with me” speech to Ike.
