Report: Kimmel Refused to Apologize for Charlie Kirk Remarks on Air

[American Girl]

Excerpt:
The radical left’s propaganda empire is cracking at the seams, and it’s glorious to watch. Jimmy Kimmel, that smug late-night hack, thought he could smear conservatives by falsely claiming Charlie Kirk’s assassin was a “MAGA dude” on national TV—just days after the patriot was gunned down by a far-left extremist. Well, karma’s a beast, and now Kimmel’s show is getting yanked off the air by major ABC affiliates, replaced with a heartfelt tribute special to Kirk himself. Who’s the punchline now, Jimmy?





I love the idiots crying about free speech.  You're not free to lie without consequence.

REPORT: Jimmy Kimmel Loses It After Longtime Show’s Demise: ‘Fu**ing Livid’

Jimmy Kimmel is “absolutely f**king livid” over ABC’s decision to “indefinitely” pull Jimmy Kimmel’s late night talk show from the air. The decision was made after major broadcasters announced that they would not be airing the show in response to Kimmel’s advancement of a blatant lie in which he baselessly claimed the suspected assassin of conservative activist Charlie Kirk was a Trump supporter.

The statement came shortly after broadcasting giant Nexstar Media Group, which owns and operates more than 200 television stations in 116 U.S. markets, announced Wednesday that it will be pulling Jimmy Kimmel Live! from its affiliates.

“Nexstar’s owned and partner television stations affiliated with the ABC Television Network will preempt Jimmy Kimmel Live! for the foreseeable future beginning with tonight’s show.  Nexstar strongly objects to recent comments made by Mr. Kimmel concerning the killing of Charlie Kirk and will replace the show with other programming in its ABC-affiliated markets,” the company announced in a statement.

Nexstar’s vast media portfolio reaches about 39 percent of American households, primarily through affiliations with major networks like ABC, CBS, Fox and others. This was followed up by a similar announcement by Sinclair, which controls a significant portion of local television networks themselves.

According to a report from the Daily Mail, Kimmel is “absolutely f**king livid” over the network’s abrupt decision, which came just an hour before he was set to tape his next show. “Absolutely f–king livid,” one producer told the outlet about how Kimmel took the news, adding that the late-night host is currently meeting with the network.

“This is clearly the government overreaching. There’s no such thing as free speech in America, if the government can lean on companies to stop any content they don’t like.”

ABC and parent company Disney, as well as advertisers for Kimmel’s show, were facing relentless calls to discipline Kimmel over a brazen lie he told on the assassination of Charlie Kirk during Monday’s monologue.

Local TV giant Sinclair demands Jimmy Kimmel make ‘direct apology’ to Charlie Kirk’s family, donate to TPUSA

"Sinclair Broadcasting said ABC’s suspension of Jimmy Kimmel was insufficient, announcing it will yank “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” from its stations until the host apologizes directly to Charlie Kirk’s family and donates to his political activist group.

The Baltimore-based broadcaster, whose group of some 40 ABC local TV affiliates is the nation’s largest, said Kimmel’s on-air remarks about Kirk’s assassination were “inappropriate and deeply insensitive.”

The company vowed not to return Kimmel’s show “until formal discussions are held with ABC regarding the network’s commitment to professionalism and accountability.”

“We believe broadcasters have a responsibility to educate and elevate respectful, constructive dialogue in our communities,” Sinclair Vice Chairman Jason Smith said in a statement.

Smith praised Brendan Carr, the chairman of the Federal Communications Commission, who told conservative podcasters that the agency would take action against Disney in light of Kimmel’s remarks about Kirk.

“This incident highlights the critical need for the FCC to take immediate regulatory action to address control held over local broadcasters by the big national networks,” Smith said...."
