The irony. The person is shot but he strongly believes in Freedom of Speech. Sinclair Broadcasting Group decides NOT to reinstate the Jimmy Kimmel Live show beginning Tuesday. Sinclair wants a series of demands from Kimmel to do what – teach them a lesson??? Sinclair needs to learn the lesson. Refer to the Constitution of the United States. See if you can understand it, then DO THE RIGHT THING!
You have no concept of how freedom of speech works that’s the problem in this country – people who think they know and DON’T! Read the funders read case law and EMLPLOYMENT LAW. Jimmy Kimmel is an EMPLOYEE – You have no protection and should not when acting as an employee of your employer! The ignorance is so deep in this country.
You got that right! These people make these statements and they think they’re being smart and clever but don’t even realize they don’t have a clue what they’re commenting on. I’m embarrassed to be part of the human population because unfortunately, it’s most people.i realized how bad it was when people ran to the store to stock up on hundreds of rolls of toilet paper. Just absurd. Also unfortunately the loudest are usually the dumbest.
Your ignorance is deep !!!
Jimmy has a contract that can’t be broken, he said nothing bad against Charlie.and millions love his show !!!
What he said IS FREE SPEECH, whether it’s an employee or employer !!! He only said the Republicans are using Charlie’s death to gain political points, not anything against Charlie, and what he said is true !!!
That’s an easy one. Unlike Kimmel, Roseanne’s firing was Disney’s choice, not a firing coerced as a result of pressure from the government because the Orange Man can’t take a joke.
No, st*pid the airwaves are theirs and can rightfully fire who they want. Kimmel was employee. Do something your boss doesn’t like and expect to be fired.
I think it’s crazy. An apology for what? Jimmy Kimmel said nothing close to the horrible things that Donald Trump says on a daily basis. Isn’t it true that Maga was pushing the idea that the killer was mega away as fast and hard as I could? That’s all Jimmy said. Sinclair needs to get out of the way, so we can watch our favorite show! Good grief.

Isn’t it true that Maga was pushing the idea that the killer was MAGA away as fast and hard as they could? (I mean, they certainly were embracing that notion) That’s all Jimmy said. Sinclair needs to get out of the way, so we can watch our favorite show! Good grief.
And leftist scum needs to let us run our country morally and ethically by silencing lies and hatred from your people, if you can be called people at all.
Oh, your boy doesn’t lie at all, now does he?! All the right does is lie and cheat. It’s the only way they win anything. Now Anne, your chewing tobacco is waiting.
So How’s being part of the NAZI PARTY 2.0 working for you, ANNE? Silence the OPPOSITION! Silence the DISSENTERS! Nice right out of the fascist playbook. Hitler, Stalin, Mussolini, Franco, Mao Zedong, North Korea’s last three leaders, and Hugo Chávez are all proud. Another free country falls to Fascism while claiming to make their country better.
He *didn’t* say anything wrong. But you are enabling the country’s fall into authoritarianism by still refusing to actually post what he actually said. He said that Republicans were using the death to score political points. Because he happened to use Charlie’s name in the same sentence, they used that as an excuse to go nuclear. It was never about him.
Exactly! If anything, he was bashing Taco by showing us via news clips how much he was “grieving” over his friend and ally’s death. It hurt his little feelings, and Nexstar jumped in on the action to gain points from the dictator, since they are trying to buyout Tegna and create an 80% monopoly. It’s only about corporate greed and the benjamins…… nothing new with Taco and corporate America.
The problem isn’t Jimmy Kimmel. The problem is monopolistic ownership of access to our public airways. Sinclair has no moral right to control what its viewers choose to watch. That’s what the remote is for. If the viewe\r doesn’t like what he’s seeing, he can switch channels.
Then open a business – buy up stations and control the airwaves. Sinclair can choose what they want to run and not run. So you want to FORCE a business to run it the way you want it done. Now whose the authoritarian?
“Sinclair can choose what they want to run and not run.” Yeah. And that’s the problem. They are OUR AIRWAVES. Not theirs. They should not have that right or that ability. I highly doubt anybody in our government will lift a finger or push a paper to change this but they should. The air waves our OURS. Sinclair & NextStar should NOT decide what we watch. Or don’t.
“According to Rolling Stone, executives at Disney, ABC, and its affiliated stations gathered for a meeting after Nexstar’s decision, where many of the executives in attendance did not believe that Kimmel had said anything wrong.” because the ones that think that are liberal lol.
Leftists can keep crying, crying and having little pity parties. It’s all so laughable! These trash are literally the minority of America. When Charlie Kirk was shot his voice got louder and louder. More liberals and leftists are finally being silenced.
So many liberal tears here, I should’ve brought my umbrella!
These weirdos don’t truly understand what free speech is. They only know what false speech and hate speech is. Let them walk away from Disney. Perhaps Disney will finally pander to the right, who are the majority anyway.
Liberals are like entitled little toddlers who, when they don’t get their way, scream til their faces are red and soaking wet. As long as we ignore their crybaby demands, they’ll eventually learn that we do not care and are not going to cave to their unethical, immoral ways. Like Supernanny would say, “That is unacceptable behavior!”
Good riddance to Jimmy Kimmel, maybe he can find a job flipping burgers or scrubbing toilets, lol.
If Disney is looking for new supporters all they have to do is drop the woke, DEI crud, go back to family values and 2D films and I’ll be the first one in the theater for a Disney movie in years, lol.
Well done, Sinclair! Disney has lost all integrity!! Hate speech should never be allowed especially on air! Charlie Kirk was a man of integrity that would debate his beliefs, but never with hate and evil!
Keep drinking that orange kool-aid……Charlie was nothing BUT hate. It’s ALL in his videos and podcasts, if you ever bothered to listen to anything but Faux News.
I agree with you Tina. 100 per cent.
If Kimmel had kept Charlie’s name out of his mouth that evening none of this would be happening. The man was murdered–what part of that constitutes trying to add it into his not so funny comic monologue. No consideration for the family. I wonder what he would have said if it was one of his family who was shot.
Freedom of Speech is our right, but there has to be some sort of filter.
The comments make a couple of things clear. Some people have no idea that freedom of speech doesn’t mean freedom from consequences. Also the liberals are supposedly the side of peaceful, inclusivity, love, and acceptance, and you all spew so much hate.
Freedom of speech doesn’t mean to use your platform to joke, make fun of people, (which Kimmel did about fat ladies), or say disrespectful things about a person who was murdered. Disney’ s rating on the Kimmel show have dropped very low before his stupid remarks. Which are his problem, stupid remarks. Johnny Carson was the best.late night talk show host, he put on a great show and perfectly respected every one. Who wants to watch a millionaire talk junk! Disney is putting the idiots back on, but Sinclair won’t be showing it on the airwaves, good for them! I hope when they sit down with the parties at hand, they teach them to respect all, and watch what they say!
First of all, the left only supports 1st amendment rights to free speech when they believe they are being suppressed. If Kimmel wants to make hateful and ignorant comments he certainly can on his own time, however, Disney and Sinclair are private companies who can enforce company work standards. Kimmel DOES NOT have a “constitutional right” to a TV show. I didn’t watch this clown before and I’m not about to start now.

If this is about free speech, why did Roseanne get fired from her own show?
Spanks Alot
That’s an easy one. Unlike Kimmel, Roseanne’s firing was Disney’s choice, not a firing coerced as a result of pressure from the government because the Orange Man can’t take a joke.
Ian
Let’s get one thing straight. Those airwaves are OURS. NOT THIERS. We The People,,, should decide what we will and will not watch. NOT THEM. Ever.
Bob Safir
Absolutely!
Walt
The air waves are the public as a whole – not just a band of liberals who exist in a bubble and think things always have to go their way.
Maleficent
so do not watch it if you don’t want. You Sir are the ones who does not know how Free Speech works.
Grandma
Hence, why you are able to change channels if you don’t like what is on.
Anne
No, st*pid the airwaves are theirs and can rightfully fire who they want. Kimmel was employee. Do something your boss doesn’t like and expect to be fired.

Google Search Result #1 “The U.S. airwaves legally belong to the public,”

Well it wasn’t maga. It was dick sucking, tyranny lover. That’s as liberal as they come.
Anne
And you scum liberals need to get out of our way and let us run our country ethically.
Bert
Nope! I will stay and fight despicable people like you, Anne.
Jami
I agree! But, I wanna add, Sinclair really sux!
Anon
**Look at me! I brought up Trump on a post that had nothing to do with him! I’m so cool!**
That’s exactly how you sound, Lovely.

BINGO – a group of bubble dwellers get together and decide that other Bubble dwellers are completely vindicated and justified in broadcasting lies.
John
I guess they can turn it into a Christian broadcasting then I don’t watch them anyway
JJ
John, don’t worry, where you’re going there won’t be any Christians. Hope you like it hot.

I can see them requiring Kimmel to apologize to the family for his comments were insensitive. The family is mourning a beloved member.

Honestly, I haven’t watched broadcast/cable TV in many years. I’ll catch Kimmel’s monolog on YouTube or watch streaming with no adverts.
