Where were you when the Biden administration was forcing social media to remove posts and silence conservatives, when equally or better qualified scientists and doctors were saying there are safer and better treatments for Covid-19? This had nothing to do with free speech. The media and Hollywood were able to spin that due to their TDS.
If you find nothing wrong with what he said – then you are also the problem. He specifically said a MAGA shooter – that was a lie and best a statement from an idiot. Obviously his mother and also yours evidently never told you that “if you don’t have anything good to say then keep your mouth shut” I do realize that facts have a way of escaping liberals – perhaps due to brain damage?
I agree it was a LIE. He said the shooter was MAGA…he didn’t have to say that.
He should have NOT said ANYTHING about Charlie Kirk.
Disney had a right to fire him.
If I said inappropriate things at work I can be fired and I don’t work on TV.
Yes I have freedom of speach and yes my employer can fire me for it…..
I will air your show if you make a donation can not happen. He has a contract and if he breached the terms of that contract then he can be disciplined according to the terms of that contract. No more,no less. Same for any other entertainer out there.
Unfortunately, verbal and physical violence are plaguing our country. Freedom of speech is essential, but boundaries must be set to prevent insensitive remarks from being made on public platforms. A father, a husband, a son, and a leader was killed for speaking up. An entertainer used it in his mocking rhetoric. Unacceptable.
Same here. Over the last 40+ years, I’ve witnessed a decline in their quality, as well as the politicization of a venue that once focused solely on families and children. It lost its innocence, and I’ve renounced my annual pass for the last two years without regret. Universal Parks are just as creative.
Good for you. Although I can’t say I approve of universal considering they’re the one who did those scum Wicked movies, there’s still paramount studios and Warner Brothers.
As for me and my house, no more of that filthy Disney. We Republicans don’t have to put up with abuse from the left. If you keep your wallet away from Disney you’re taking a stand against their constant pandering to the left. The little pig squealers can boycott Disney, so can we. No more Disney movies or products!
There’s a very excellent reason why the Democrats have an a s s for a mascot. Lol, because they such as heck hee-haw like em both when they pitch fits and again when they gloat. Ciao, Disney, you won’t be getting my business. Enjoy patting that a s s while you can before you are trampled in an elephant stampede if you know what I mean.
If all these entitled, blue haired rainbow flag waving trash can make an effect on Disney, we conservatives most definitely can. The next time you go running to the theater for the next Disney movie remember who is receiving your money. Disney cares only for such people who kill innocents like Charlie Kirk. Disney only cares about these left wing bullies that you see gloating here. We conservatives have rights to and we’re entitled to say no to Disney’s hatred for us.
Disney and Iger can take their despicable leftists and shove it where the sun don’t shine. 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡 Keeping my wallet closed when it comes to Disney now. They’re nothing but a greedy cooperation anyway and will do just fine without my dough.
Same, I won’t be buying anymore Disney stuff. If the leftists can do it and whine for free speech, we can walk and stand up for our rights to. Disney wants to ignore us, we can ignore them. They’re nothing without their whole audience.
No wonder so many people are watching more anime these days. Walt would be so disappointed that his company has caved to the tears of people who want to hear lies and hate, not to mention see it become so woke and greedy. If MAGA could only boycott each Disney movie as strongly as they did Snow Brown but I know that even right wingers are weak to when it comes to Disney. Makes me have no hope for humanity.
Personally I don’t care for anime and can survive easily on older Disney movies or old mystery/thriller classics. However, I’m waiting on my Flow DVD to arrive. I’ve heard nothing but good things about it and it’s good clean family entertainment. If you haven’t seen it, go for it. Its not Disney and not woke or political so it deserves a chance.
Oh, did that finally reach america? I’ve seen clips of Flow on YouTube, the movie does look cute. 🙂 I’ll be giving the entire movie a try when it comes out. The cat is super adorable! Almost like toothless vibes!
We need more people to not treat Trump like he’s the King of America. Unfortunately, the Right is full of MAGA who kiss the ring, and bow before their king.
MC, do you honestly think those in power on the left care one iota about you. Look at the billions of dollars of taxpayer money on ILLEGAL ALIENS, they aren’t undocumented immigrants. When they are done with you you will just be cannon fodder. Just like they’re going to bail on those who from antifa and attacking ICE, and police for doing their job. If you remove the murder statistics from the 5 largest cities in the US the US is around 179 in the list of fewest murders in the world. Those 5 cities are all run by democrats.
I agree with other comments that say you need to just walk away from Disney. After all, why shouldn’t you? Disney will never pander to the right, therefore why should you pander to them? There’s an overload of non-Disney movies out there, even if they’re 50 or more years old that are way more worth your time. Remember, the older a movie less, the less politics and woke agenda that are in it. 😉
When all those protesters called bob iger a mouse they were so right. (Even though that’s an insult to mice who are smarter than humans in some aspects) But not because he went along with firing Kimmel, that’s when the jerk showed a little backbone but because he gave in to the whines of those murderers. Yes, murderers. While those Hollyweird celebs and other dayglow haired they/them may not have personally pulled the trigger that killed Charlie Kirk but if they laughed or otherwise made any kind of offensive joke when he was killed they have murder in their hearts.
As a shareholder, I am upset that Disney caved & took Kimmel off the air. I’m glad Disney is finally paying attention to the shareholders in bringing Kimmel back and not caving to Nexstar and Sinclair. Those 2 companies lost money, advertising and standing – that’s why they changed their tune. See Iger; stop bowing & being afraid, stand up and they will back down.
He did bow and was afraid of you crybaby leftists all because you want to hear some jerk tell lies and say hateful things about us. Iger is a chicken hearted mouse. 🐁
Relax guys, even if Disney bowed the knee to the woke left crowd, Disney cant keep thriving on just them alone. There probably will be some that won’t resubscribe due to rising prices and many on the right are already doing the same.
The Big Mouse got himself trampled by in a braying jack 🫏 stampede and had to sell his soul to get out of it. He’d blow his brains out while jumping out of an airplane and dressed like a banana if those same 🫏 told him to! What a dirty coward!
I think Bob Iger and ABC made the right call in taking Jimmy Kimmel off the air initially. Kimmel’s plan to clarify things that following Wednesday would have inflamed the situation, and Iger and ABC were reading the nation’s mood exactly correct. I never watch Kimmel. I do not find his saturation of leftist politics to be funny and entertaining. So I am ambivalent about bringing Kimmel back on the air. ABC should perform a profitability analysis on Kimmel’s show, like CBS did with Colbert. I believe ABC will find that Kimmel is under water. Kimmel’s approach that alienates half the potential viewing audience, coupled with the overall decline in viewership over the past number of years is a net loser.
Comments for Jimmy Kimmel Returning to Sinclair’s ABC Affiliate Stations on Friday
Ed
Big whoop! Who cares. But I hear he’s really big with fat boy in N Korea! Also Putin loves him!
MC
Yes, we know they like Trump. Not sure what that has to do with the article, though.
Patty C
Good. FREEDOM OF SPEECH!!ONCE THAT IS GONE WE ARE LOST. Agree or don’t it doesn’t matter if we are not free.
Walt
This is not a freedom of speech issue and you saying it is does not make it so. Here’s a thought – educate yourself.
MC
Seems like you need the education.
MorningGlory
Shut up Patty.
Bert
Freedom of Speech, MorningGlory, Freedom of Speech…
You’re allowed, and so is Patty C., who I agree with.

Well spreading lies isn’t freedom of speech, its treason

Jimmy Kimmel said nothing wrong, no need to apologize!

He was MAGA, until a few months before the shooting. So… not a complete lie.

Bert
Projecting again MG…?
Anti-Remakes
Bert, if you call speaking the truth “projecting” then ok. Sometimes the truth hurts and Heaven forbid a leftist get their entitlement hurt.
CB
I’m sure his viewership will continue to decline. He’s not funny and lies to keep the viewers he has.
Namcy
You are soooooo right!
Lynn
Such mean-spirited people. Everybody just stay in your lane and let others feel as they do.
MorningGlory
So go away then, Lynn. No one cares for you.
