@HillaryClinton

Jimmy Kimmel and other late-night comedians have certainly said things about me that I found offensive, even outrageous.

It never crossed my mind to call up the networks and say, "Hey, get rid of this guy." Because that's not how America works.

This would be the same Hillary Clinton who called up Ronan Farrow and said, 'Hey, don't print that story on Harvey Weinstein.'

MARK SIMONE @MarkSimoneNY After pulling Jimmy Kimmel off the air, ABC has been running reruns of Celebrity Family Feud in his time slot and it's getting much bigger ratings. So why bring Kimmel back? Overnight ratings for the September 18, 2025, *Celebrity Family Feud* rerun show 2.8 viewers —easily topping Kimmel's recent averages of about 1.1 million viewers. This marks a roughly 150% lift in total viewership and a 200% jump in the key demo, so why...

What's this? ABC has let Kimmel's show continue? Or are they just contemplating it?
Well, it's their money to throw away. Don't care.

Disney and ABC caving and allowing Kimmell back on the air is not surprising, but it's their mistake to make.
Nextstar and Sinclair do not have to make the same choice.

JUST IN: Jimmy Kimmel's show will return to ABC on Tuesday after it was suspended following his comments on the Charlie Kirk assassination.

"Last Wednesday, we made the decision to suspend production on the show to avoid further inflaming a tense situation at an emotional moment for our country," the Walt Disney Company said in a statement.

"It is a decision we made because we felt some of the comments were ill-timed and thus insensitive."

"We have spent the last days having thoughtful conversations with Jimmy, and after those conversations, we reached the decision to return the show on Tuesday." ...

I suspect if Kimmel still refuses to apologize for his lying, the station owners won't air it.  But we'll see.

Any word from the Sinclair and Nexstar groups of ABC affiliates? They could run documentaries about paint drying and draw a larger audience than Kimmel.

Here is Sen. Jacky Rosen (D-NV) doing the EXACT thing they falsely accused Carr of doing.

First, she levies a fictitious accusation against Carr that he contacted Nextar.  He didn't.

Next, she does the very thing she falsely criticized Carr for by using her political power "as a member of the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation" to influence Nextar:

Sinclair is making some demands so I hear. An apology for one.
She asked me name my foe then. I said the need within some men to fight and kill their brothers without thought of Love or God. Ken Hensley

Lying is not a crime.

Lying on TV is not a crime.

If lying on TV is a crime, they should be rounding up the politicians in DC.

Lying is not a crime

except to the police, FBI, IRS, Immigration, etc.

Lying on TV is not a crime

And neither Kimmel nor any of the other TV haters have been arrested. The View remains free to spew their bile.

The Communication Act of 1934 says otherwise.
