I had a bad feeling Disney would bring him back just to calm the left down. What a bunch of cowards! If Jimmy the Jerk goes back on air I’m done with Disney!
Walt would be so disappointed and spinning in his grave seeing his company cave in to the woke left. The fact the company went woke and hateful to the right in the first place was enough to make Walt spin so hard he’d cause an earthquake.
Watching Disney tuck their tail between their legs and give into to the liberal’s little temper tantrums is sick. It’s like watching a parent hand their spoiled, screaming child a candy bar just to shut them up.
Hmm, apparently the people commenting here don’t understand the concept of free speech.
Here is the bottom line, there is freedom of speech that protects against government censorship. Of course companies can chose to censor those who work for them if their values don’t align with the company’s values.
So, if the company had suspended him because his values didn’t align with theirs, that would be fine. The problem here is the government pressured Disney and ABC into it and if we start allowing the government to dictate what can and can’t be said, even when we disagree with it, then we run the real risk that when we are on the side the government disagrees with (likely from a change in the balance of power) that we are then silenced.
Freedom of speech MUST be protected, especially when we disagree with it. This is a core founding principle of our government. Now, there are reasonable limits, such as you can’t go inciting violence, but if you actually watch and listen to what was really said, you would know this didn’t do that. And it really wasn’t as bad as people have made it out to be.
The cowardly way out would be to allow the government to have their way on this and in fact we already saw a bit of that with the government saying that anyone who puts out information they disagree with risks losing their press credentials. The fact that this is happening should scare EVERYONE far more than a few comments by a late night talk show host.
Hmm, apparently another stupid dumb leftist here doesn’t understand the difference between freedom of speech and unethical lies and hate speech. The government has every right to silence what is potentially offensive, hurtful and otherwise unethical to the public. Jimmy Kimmel spread lies. His boss had every right to fire him. Stop using freedom of speech as an excuse to want to hear hateful things said about a murder.
Hmm, apparently another st*pid dumb leftist doesn’t understand the difference between freedom of speech and unethical lies and hate speech. The government has every right to silence what is unethical. Kimmel spread lies and mocked a murder. His boss has every right to fire him. Stop using freedom of speech as a pathetic excuse to want to hear hateful things being said about a murdered man.
So Chris, you really think Kimmel telling lies and cheering when a good family man is shot in the neck is ethical, freedom of speech and otherwise just crammed full of love like all you leftists say you are? When you were helping Mexicans burn our flag I’ll bet you thought you were being so lovely.
So you agree there should be reasonable limits on violence but you think a TV host lying to people and poking fun when a man is ruthlessly killed should be completely free to do? I suggest you rethink your miserable life.
Why not start a petition to rename Disney to WOKE LAND the home of the LEFTIST! Disney thinks the only market place today is on the left. I don’t mind what he said l find it insensitive or a lie. Everything l read shows the shooter as a leftist not MAGA !!
Leftists can stay mad and cry cry cry about free speech til the cows come home. We do not care. We’re sick of lies and hate spread by the left and yes it deserves to be silenced. When the Amendments were written to begin with our forefathers didn’t expect the leftists to use “Freedom of Speech” as a standing ground to say offensive things and spread falsehoods to the public.
Okay,k the same can be said of the lies and offensive things said by the Right. So, pretty much everyone MAGA will need to be silenced, including Trump, according to your own words.
Leftists/Liberals version of free speech is lies, hate and anything else offensive. These are the same people who claim to be so full of love and then go out to buy guns to kill people with. I guess I’m supposed to say what Tyler Robinson did was absolutely lovely, lol.
These are also the same drips who incite violent attacks, burn the American flag, stab Ukrainian women on buses, change their gender and shoot at children through church windows and say they hope Erika Kirk’s children die. Leftists are indeed people full of love and acceptance! 🤣
Leftists: Stop the hate! We want love, acceptance and peace!
Also leftists: Shoot people with high powered guns, then jump all over social media to snicker and cheer about it, pressure for innocent children to have trans surgery, stab women on buses, suck unborn babies out of their mothers, say hateful things about anyone right-wing, ban together with their illegal drug lord friends to burn our countries flag, cheer that they’re antifa and riot and picket and whine like entitled babies when things don’t go their way.

The hatred in these comments is laughable,they moaning about the left ,they should look at what rubbish they are spewing, opinions are meant to be a 2 way thing
To agree with another commenter, this situation is indeed like a spoiled child vs parent battle. Disney is the weak parent watching their red faces, teary eyed toddlers screaming, “we want this, we want that! Give it to us, mommy and daddy or we’ll hold our breaths!” The parents, not able to hold their ground and don’t want to see their precious darlings so upset, they hand them whatever they want to calm them down. To top it all off the parents give their children hugs and apologies for taking their favorite toy away from them to make them angry in the first place.
I never thought about it like that but you’re right! I’ve watched Supernanny on YouTube and that’s exactly what parents did for their children to the point where I’ve seen youngsters literally use foul language and physically strike their parents to get their way. Even in public. The parents were eventually taught that if they ignore their child’s demands and assert dominance, the child eventually figured out mommy and daddy were no longer their punching bags and learned how to respect.
The leftists in this situation do not know respect. They’re not respecting Freedom of Speech. They’re using it as a pathetic excuse for their unethical ways. That would be about like me standing on the street corner telling passerbys that Walmart was going bankrupt and that they had better buy uop everything before the store shuts down! Naturally my lies would cause an uproar. And when questioned by the law why I did what I did am I supposed to just shrug and say, freedom of speech dude? Lies are a crime in their own way. Crimes are not free, they come with a price.
Kimmel comes across as an arrogant talking head, getting away with bad behavior that should keep him off the air. His act feels more suited to carnival sideshows. Disney, I don’t think it’s the right decision to have him representing your company on your airwaves, as he is damaging your public image.
Comments for ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’ Returning, Disney Issues Statement
Carmen
Oh course his show should be suspended!! And if Disney brings him back I’ll never go to see another Disney film again!
MC
Aww… it has to be a pain to live a life so full of thinking for yourself.
MC
Oops, I meant not thinking for yourself. Oh, but doesn’t matter, since Carmen doesn’t understand words, anyway.
MAGA
I had a bad feeling Disney would bring him back just to calm the left down. What a bunch of cowards! If Jimmy the Jerk goes back on air I’m done with Disney!
MC
Better than kowtowing to the Dictator Don.
J.P.
Walt would be so disappointed and spinning in his grave seeing his company cave in to the woke left. The fact the company went woke and hateful to the right in the first place was enough to make Walt spin so hard he’d cause an earthquake.
MC
Nah, he’d be more upset with siding with Republicans, because they’re so much for Israel, that they ignore the war crimes committed by them.
Dave 62
Check out you tube ,walt disney testimony to congress back in the 40s i believe, the commies were trying to take over his company then!

There was no lie. I mean, Jimmy should have said that the shooter was MAGA, rather than is MAGA, but the point still stands.

If the government “has every right to silence what is unethical”, why is Trump still allowed to speak?

Jimmy didn’t lie. He just should have said that the shooter was, not is, MAGA.
MC
Perhaps you want to reword your statement? Jimmy never cheered for that. That’s all just in the demented minds of MAGA.

Don’t forget to add they expect women to have their unborn babies ripped out of them and push for children to choose what sex they want.

Everything you said just described MAGA.

If Kimmel does not make an effort to apologize, many more will turn away from his program and Disney itself.
