Encouraging/celebrating murder over words you disagree with = fascism. Being fired by private co.for encouraging/celebrating murder = accountability

The left's hypocrisy over free speech is a whole other topic.(Hint: they spent a decade censoring conservatives).

But what happened to Colbert and Kimmel is based primarily on their decreasing viewership while also losing money. In Kimmell's case, dozens of markets had decided to no longer air his show, further decreasing viewership and ad revenue. **He was already on borrowed time.

***The straw that broke the camel's back was when he chose to falsely, callously shift the blame for Kirk's murder onto his own supporters(ie. conservatives), in order to cover for the far left trans rights assassin who hated Republicans and Christians.

That ghoulish behavior is intolerable to most Americans, so Kimmell's bosses realized that this was a good time to cut their losses.

Kimmel encouraged/celebrated murder? No, he did not. You lot just love to stand on a dead mans chest and proclaim that you have the moral high ground. You think that while you're standing on that corpse nothing you say, no matter how ridiculous the lie, can be refuted.
It's gotten disgusting. The right has been celebrating that murder since the guy hit the ground. Partying non-stop.

There's nothing "moderate" about this thread.

The rhetoric is extremist and the attitude is anger and an OTT contempt.

The thread is aggressively divisive and luving it.

Another sad right wing troll thread.

Thread title is a long-winded BOIL of a post that forgot the GrOyPer

There is zero difference between 'cancel culture politics' and this weapon of 'accountability' except who's ox is getting gored by the pink slip.

I continue to maintain that when we laud and 'high five' the firing of people en masse of any class, race, profession for their tweets, their expressed political and social views etc, we are pouring ice on free speech at our own peril. The accountability for saying socially outrageous things, socially unacceptable things, should be a social punishment, not a direct economic punishment imposed by an employer.

They should face our social wrath at church, in the clubhouse, in the neighborhood for social crimes, not lose their damn jobs whether they are a clerk at the DMV, a truck driver, an accountant, a singer, an artist.

if Kimmel offends some social line, wait and see whether people stop watching his show. If the ratings drop far enough for long enough, then cancel him because his ratings are low because his speech actually impacted the market share and you could not replace the advertisers offended by his inability 'to read the room'.

Remember when Charlie Kirk falsely and calously trid to shift blame for Paul Pelosi's attack onto a gay tryst in order to vover for the fact that the actuall attacker was a kook who had been radicalized by right wing lies and conspiracy theories, and hated dempcrats especcially Pelosi?

That's not true but it allows Trumpers to ignore what he is really doing to the media outlets he doesn't like. Listen to his own words and the words of the FCC chair. Trump is after media outlets and their employees who he feels treat him badly. He is saying it outloud, why are you ignoring it?

You really need to learn what the fascism means.

I wanted to elucidate my views with a hypothetical. Let's say the CEO of ABC posts a bunch of offensive outrageous crap about leftist radicals killing Kirk, and desecrating his memory with 'lies'on his personal facebook page or in a tweet. And there is an organized boycott of the network. I won't be boycotting. I don't want to use my economic leverage to pressure stockholders to punish his personal speech, any more than I want my speech punished by my employer.

But I will boycott a network for firing a commentator secondary to a President's direct or indirect pressure tactics when he is offended by comments. There should be an economic cost to this cowardice. This was not about ratings slumping secondary to what Kimmel did. That's the problem here.

Ah yes, the tired fairy tale of “conservatives silenced” while somehow every late-night monologue, podcast, and AM radio dial is clogged with right-wing outrage merchants screaming into billion-dollar microphones. Spare me the martyr act.


As for Colbert and Kimmel? Their “crime” isn’t some grand leftist hypocrisy—it’s that comedy doesn’t age like fine wine. Shows ebb and flow. Carson retired, Leno bowed out, Letterman wrapped up. None of them were “censored.” They just stopped pulling numbers. That’s how TV works. It’s Nielsen ratings, not George Soros pulling cables behind the curtain.


And this fever-dream about Jimmy Kimmel blaming “conservatives” for Charlie Kirk’s murder? Cute story. Except—it didn’t happen. There was no such murder. That’s the tell. You’re not debating facts; you’re shadowboxing with conspiracies. It’s like yelling “witch!” every time someone calls out extremism.


You call it “ghoulish behavior.” I call it projection. If anyone is feasting on tragedy like carrion, it’s the folks spinning fake corpses into culture-war cash. The bosses didn’t “cut their losses.” They cut off the noise.


So let’s be clear: free speech doesn’t mean freedom from criticism, freedom from consequences, or freedom from reality. And reality check? Kimmel and Colbert will still have a bigger cultural footprint in reruns than Kirk and his outrage industry could dream of.
