Free market, limited government, individual responsibility. Sh*t like that.

Mine too, based on when you grew up that skews people's ideas of what that means.

I wish we could get back to that, the country wouldn't make it though, everyone has willingly given so much responsibility to the government we couldn't function without them, exactly as intended.

This goes to show you can't tell an idiot the truth. Trump had nothing to do w/the firing.

Well, for one thing, Kimmel was obviously never really "fired."

"Temporarily suspended" is more accurate.

For another thing, the reasons for the very brief suspension of Kimmel's show is really not for you, me or anyone else but Disney/ABC to say. They are the ones who handed down the suspension, and then brought Kimmel back. Let's just wait and see if Robert Iger addresses the matter. I think he should.

FCC chair Brendan Carr denies government censorship led to Jimmy Kimmel suspension: ‘It’s because of his ratings’

“Kimmel is in the situation that he is in because of his ratings, not because of anything that’s happened at the federal government level,” Carr said.

Brendan Carr desperately wants everyone to believe that his threats didn't play a role in Kimmel's suspension. Carr wants to play mind-reader and say that it only concerned the Neilsen ratings for "Jimmy KImmel Live!" ..... but if that was true, would Disney/ABC be bringing the show back so fast? The ratings for "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" have obviously not changed since the show was suspended last week.

Brendan Carr looks like a horse's a$$ right now. The Trump Administration is a "Yes, men" clown show .... and Carr is Bozo.

Maybe he turned around and agreed to tone down the rhetoric. It was always the right thing to do. Some things are more important than scoring political points.

Never once have I watched Kimmel other than some clips. Really haven’t watched any late night tv guys with any regularity since Conan and Letterman stepped away, mostly because you could see them becoming more and more political in their monologues. A funny political joke from time to time is great, plenty of content there to use from politicians. Problem was their monologues became borderline unhinged, vindictive lectures.

I hope he bifurcates it. Says first he meant no disrespect of Kirk's memory and he grieves with her since Kirk was silenced, as he was, for his speech. Apologize.

Then turn and call out Trump and the FCC head for their obvious threats and attempt to manipulate to get him off the air because he routinely bashes Trump. Then bash Trump, i.e. tell the truth about Trump, for the next ten minutes.

Tell Trump, effectively, to go F himself.

He should acknowledge his poor choice of words that MAGA folks “characterized” the killer as not one of them. He was not a MAGA guy

Maybe Brendan Carr is slowly realizing that his threats against ABC were a mistake, but rather than apologize for them, Carr is trying to excuse them with speculation that his threats played no part in the suspension of Kimmel's show ..... but that's not for Carr to say. Only Disney/ABC (specifically Disney CEO, Robert Iger) can clear that up.

And THAT ⬆️ is the biggest reason right there. I’m older now, can’t stay up that late to watch TV unless I work late and just turn it on for a minute while getting ready for bed.

Kimmel needs to clarify his comments, and he needs to say that his emphasis should have been on the loss of life, and an expression of condolences to Charlie Kirk's widow, who has shown incredible strength and grace in the aftermath of her husband's senseless murder. The best thing Kimmel could ever do is invite her on his show, and be as nice as he can possibly be to her.

Sinclair Will Preempt Jimmy Kimmel's Show Despite Disney Ending Its Suspension​


Sinclair Broadcast Group announced Monday that it would preempt ABC’s "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" when it returns Tuesday night.

"Beginning Tuesday night, Sinclair will be preempting ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’ across our ABC affiliate stations and replacing it with news programming. Discussions with ABC are ongoing as we evaluate the show’s potential return," the company’s statement read.

Sinclair, which operates 30 ABC affiliates, previously joined Nexstar, another owner of ABC affiliates, in preempting Kimmel’s show last week after he made controversial comments regarding Charlie Kirk’s alleged assassin.


"Sinclair also calls upon Mr. Kimmel to issue a direct apology to the Kirk family. Furthermore, we ask Mr. Kimmel to make a meaningful personal donation to the Kirk family and Turning Point USA," the company stated. "Regardless of ABC’s plans for the future of the program, Sinclair intends not to return ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’ to our air until we are confident that appropriate steps have been taken to uphold the standards expected of a national broadcast platform."

He probably needs to stay away from politics all together and just try and be funny

Jimmy Kimmel's comeback to late night has been dealt a massive blow with ABC affiliates refusing to air it in nearly 40 major markets after Disney announced the liberal talk host will return Tuesday.

Sinclair Inc., whose local stations pay to run ABC's Jimmy Kimmel Live!, is standing by its policy from last week that it would keep the show off the air indefinitely, though the two sides were in talks.

'Beginning Tuesday night, Sinclair will be preempting Jimmy Kimmel Live! across our ABC affiliate stations and replacing it with news programming. Discussions with ABC are ongoing as we evaluate the show's potential return,' the company said. A preemption is when the owners of an affiliate replace national programming with their own.
