Jimmy Kimmel Cancelled over Charlie Kirk comments!

[CdnFox]

Jimmy Kimmel taken off air over Charlie Kirk comments

Nexstar Media, said it would not air Jimmy Kimmel Live! "for the foreseeable future beginning with tonight's show".

Nexstar said on Wednesday that the comedian's remarks about Kirk "are offensive and insensitive at a critical time in our national political discourse".

"[W]e do not believe they reflect the spectrum of opinions, views, or values of the local communities in which we are located," said Andrew Alford, president of Nexstar's broadcasting division.

 

If we're being honest i think his comments were in really poor taste but probably didn't deserve cancellation of his whole show. 

But it's refreshing to see the left get a taste of cancel culture for a change   Hopefully they'll lose their taste for it and we can get back to being more normal at some point.

There is no free speech in a fascist state. Just ask Boges.

The MSM takes to its knees before the Fanta Fascist. A free press is too dangerous to allow.

Fascism is as fascism does. I told you Trump would use this as an excuse to go after anyone who hurts his feelings. 

Kimmels comments were about the Trump administration not Kirk and were totally within bounds  

At least you admit that it’s Konservative Kancel Kulture. 

But you conveniently forget Konservatives invented Kancel Kulture years ago.  They Kanceled french fries, all because France wouldn’t endorse their Iraq lies and they Kanceled Bill Maher back them too. They definitely Kanceled Muslims. They Kanceled people for trying to go to the bathroom during the 7th inning stretch of a Yankees game (which is exactly what the stretch is for) after they decided to use the time to put on a patriotic show with mandatory viewing. More recently they’ve kanceled Bud Light, Nike, Gillette among others.

True. It's kind of sad that the left went out of its way to create that fascist state and now we all have to live with it. But they set the rules, it's not fair if only one side has to play by them

[gatomontes99]

Where were all these calls of fascism when the Biden admin was deplatforming social influencer and political commentators on Twitter, YouTube, Facebook, etc? The Biden admin literally sent people to work at these companies and relay exactly what was and wasn't allowed. Don't believe me? Look at the Twitter files and Zuckerberg's testimony to congress.

By the way, this isn't fascism. These businesses are doing it because their on air talent is not getting the ratings that they need. He's second to a show that is canceled because it wasn't making enough money. Let that sink in. Many podcasts have more viewers than Kimmel. He was already done, this just gave them an easy out.

Sure. Those are the rules the left created when they started cancel culture, I think everybody was aware that the right would eventually start playing by those rules. It can hardly be called a surprise

Sure. Like I said The liberals set the rules and of course the conservatives are going to play now. And I do recall telling you at the time that cancel culture would come back to bite the left in the ass.

I don't approve of it regardless of which side does it, but you can't blame the right for doing it if the left does. It's not fair to whine if only one side has to play by the rules

You mean I didn't lie and pretend that that's the case.

 They Kanceled french fries,

That is literally the stupidest argument you have ever made on this entire forum and it was up against some pretty stiff competition.

And what the hell is with the weird changing all the c to k's thing? Are you 4 years old now? Are you so emotionally crippled that you think that somehow that makes your argument stronger? Do you not realize it makes you look like a child who can't control his own bowels and is incapable of making an intelligent argument? Admit you're crying even as we speak if you're going to do that kind of crap

You need to go take care of lithium kid   

The left invented castle culture. Fired or suffer a negative result simply because of what they say even if their position is completely legitimate. Remember all those millions of posts everyone saw about how your words have consequences?

Conservatives fought back and said it was inappropriate and that cancel culture was wrong. But we kind of lost that fight and you guys kept up with it

Now your own rules are being turned against you

I don't know how many bazillion trillion quadrillion times I've said this to you, but you reap what you sow.

You were happy to indulge in lawfare when it was happening to someone you didn't like and I warned you it would be used against people you did like later and don't do it. 

The left was warned constantly about Obama and Biden's overreach of the office of the president and that if you did that somebody would take it further when the they got it. It was ignored and you were fine with biden and Obama overreaching. Now trump has put his shoulder into the concept and the left is horrified. Too late!

The left was warned endlessly that sooner or later cancel culture would be used against them and now here we are.

As I said to you many times it's too late to pretend outrage or decide you don't like it when the right is doing it back. You have to stop this crap when it's your people starting the crap in the first place. You ignored that now you're paying the price and I'm not going to feel bad about it

Im guessing they were about to cancel him once his contract was up ala Colbert but he probably had a conduct clause or something in his contract that let them get out of the contract immediately.

These late night shows are expensive with little return, they are all losing money right now. They employ hundreds of high cost people and 1.8 million viewers aren't going to cut it. Gutfeld which is much cheaper is getting over 3 million

More importantly conservatives told the left including people on this board and in general That if they kept plotting these abuses when their guy was in power they would get no sympathy when someone else was in power and using it to abuse them.

Too late to cry foul now

[gatomontes99]

The worst part is, Kirk isn't even in the ground and they are already back to using the same violence causing rhetoric that got him killed. 

I am starting to see Crowder's point. We have to meet every aggression with swift, legal, force and deadly force if necessary. There is no talking to these people.

But the government openly threatened to take away their FCC licence if they didn’t fire him. That’s not something “the left” ever did and it certainly isn’t derived from “rules” they created.

There is a process for that. If he didn't do anything to violate those terms, they had nothing to worry about. And yes, the left did worse.

Sure it is. In fact if you recall the left got caught sicking the iRS on businesses that were seen as conservative or right leaning. That happened under Obama was a big scandal.

So this kind of thing is well established as being normal in politics already by the democrats. P*ss us off and we turn the government agencies on you.

I disagree entirely.

His only job is to talk in a way that 1) entertains people, and 2) falls within the station's ethical and moral boundaries. Once he ceases to do either of those things, he's no longer an asset.

If he was just throwing a football or kicking a soccer ball i think that a league and team owners could make the case that they don't pay him to think, but Kimmel is paid to think, and he's not thinking. 

At times like this I always go back to that business statistic that says "only 4% of unsatisfied/disgruntled customers actually take the time to write a letter of complaint", so in other words, for every single person that complains there are 24 other people who feel exactly the same way, they just never got off their ass to say or do anything about it.

Kimmel's comments would have drawn thousands of irate complaints. Even some from sensible liberals and unicorns would have complained. The guy is toxic now.

You supported the gov't forcing people to take a dangerous injection that they absolutely did not need, and now you're crying "FASCIM!!!" because a guy got fired for dancing on someone's grave? 😂

You're not only a political cultist, you're economically ret4rded. I swear that you're coming here to prove how stupid you are. 

If you were running a business worth billions of dollars would you let a ratings-disaster like Kimmel pump Trump's tires on national TV? Of course you wouldn't, hypocrite, you'd hire someone like eyeball to toe the party line and tell jokes that are predicated on left-wing narratives.  

And you would 100% fire someone just for being supportive of Trump, regardless of whether or not they fabricated ridiculous stories about a high-profile murder, and don't try to tell me otherwise.

Well it’s cancel culture with a salient difference - it’s coming from the head of government, not from righteous nitwits online. That’s a sinister turn in any country claiming to value free speech. This malignant clown already threatened a country this week, an ally of course, after a journalist asked him about his family’s rampant corruption so who knows whom he will go after next? Staying quiet is no guarantee of safety.
