Jimmy Kimmel Asked to Apologize and Pay Charlie Kirk's Family if He Wants Suspension Lifted

I personally hope that Sinclair sticks to their guns and doesn't negotiate some meaningless babel from Kimmel.

Of course you do.

I mean, if you're going to hate on the constitution and the republic, do it right.

Believe Kimmel took his hit because he was ridiculing/insulting Donald Trump. Not Charlie Kirk.

Not seeing him (Kimmel) coming back without some level of butt kiss to Trump. Which is not probably going to happen.

..

He has one year left on his contract, so his agent should be checking to see what can be done on streaming networks if they're interested. The problem is the late night comedy format is not doing that well and hasn't translated well to streaming.

Because ...?

 

[CaughtInThe]

You know what happens when you appease authoritarians?

They get worse.

Ask all the Russians who have fallen out of windows.

 

[Moderate Right]

Will be very surprised if Jimmy Kimmel tries to "babel" his way back into the network's good graces.

He really doesn't strike me as the type to sell out for the sake of a salary.

(But could be wrong. Guess time will tell.)

..

That was my first thought but I heard they are talking, which probably means some worthless babel from Kimmel.

Sinclair is doing great harm to our country.

LOL. Well, the media as a whole have done great harm to our country. Glad to see that is getting harder and harder for them.

It's not getting harder for Fox. The nation's leading propaganda network.

 

[yankintx]

Kimmel may cave. Stronger people have.

I hope the Disney boycott catches on. Disney caved al long time ago.

Tne mouse knows the bottom line

He is a greedy rodent

Like our elected officials

 

[Moderate Right]

Of course you do.

I mean, if you're going to hate on the constitution and the republic, do it right.

LOL. Well, if you're worried then I guess that is an admission by you that there is something to worry about. Sinclair is under no legal obligation to broadcast Jimmy Kimmel's show, even if the rest of ABC does.

 

[Moderate Right]

Because ...?

Because what? Sinclair is under no legal obligation to broadcast Jimmy Kimmel's show, even if the rest of ABC does.

Fox is a different animal because they are cable. Over the air broadcast networks have broadcast license agreements that are much stricter than cable or paid services. That's why CNN and MSNBC (and Fox) have a lot more leeway to broadcast just about anything they want, no matter how biased it is. Kimmel could land on one of those if he doesn't make it back onto ABC.

 

[Idiocracy]

All Kimmel needs to do is remove his spine, flop around on the floor for a little while, and then censor himself going forward.

Just like he did following Trump's reelection? When it comes to the left's mental decline and disorders, especially where TDS is concerned, this is hard to beat and demonstrates exactly what you're talking about.

 

[WillyPete]

Again, I'm trying to understand. I'm not trolling. He literally said "trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them".
This infers that "them" are murderers. Does it not?

Well no, I don't see how that flows.

Suggesting a murderer is a member of MAGA, and that MAGA members are resistant to that idea, does not make all MAGA murderers.

Your comment that I responded to, below, was regarding "the media as a whole".

LOL. Well, the media as a whole have done great harm to our country. Glad to see that is getting harder and harder for them.

As I said, it's not getting harder for Fox. Because they not only are kissing Trump's ass at every conceivable opportunity, but they are pushing the entire 'leftists are evil' agenda - which of course Trump greatly approves of and promotes himself.

IMO, Fox is the primary partner in Trump's march toward autocracy.

 

[roberthughey]

ABC/Disney isn't even mentioned in the thread title.

That's the point.

The title isn't quite accurate since it's ultimately Disney/ABC's decision whether to lift the ban.

What say you all. Will Kimmel meet Sinclair's demands? Should he?

Kimmel should tell Sinclair to go **** themselves and then file a MASSIVE lawsuit. Part of which requires the current management and ownership to be COMPLETELY removed.

Sinclair wants Kimmel to...

Sincalair needs to face a 10 figure lawsuit.

They ARE NOT in charge.

Also... Kimmel did not do anything wrong.

Jimmy Kimmel has been given a list of demands for 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' to return to air by Sinclair, the broadcasting company with the nation's largest ABC affiliate group, after the show was pulled indefinitely for Kimmel's comments on Charlie Kirk.

Everyone have to adopt to the new Trump America. Trump approved Disney content.



Trump approved Daily Show.

Apologize for what?

Many on the right are pretending he did something horrible.

Group gaslighting.

I do stand by my statement that the media as whole, including social media, have been of great harm to this country, on both sides. The reason Trump is president now is because of democrat's march toward autocracy. Both sides do it. However, I will say that Democrats tried their best to remove the Senate filibuster in order to pass any legislation they wanted to pass, something Republicans have not done. If it hadn't been for Joe Manchin and Kirsten Sinema, democrats would have accomplished their coup and taken over complete control of the government and rigging elections and the Supreme Court so that only they would win all future elections. So, cry me a river if you think Trump is doing that now. The Senate filibuster is still intact, something democrats tried to overthrow with their autocracy.

If he has any balls at all Kimmel should tell Sinclair to sit on it and rotate.

It's easier to boycott Disney than Sinclair. My sister likes to watch local news. She lives in Foley, Alabama and receives local news from Mobile, AL and Pensacola, FL. These local news stations are owned by Sinclair. Of course, she could stop watching local news.

At least its not a streaming service with a direct income source from your checking account to their profits. If she refuses to buy the products advertised, and commits herself to corrupt efforts to monitor by Nielson Marketing Research should she be selected, then those stations get no economic benefit if she 'cheats'.

Hulu has a drop down menu for why one cancels. 'Boycotting anti democratic cowardly ass kissing' was not on the drop down menu.

We both have it easier than boycotting the buses in Montgomery Alabama for an entire year in 1955 if you happen to be black and lower middle class (basically redundant I know in Alabama), I suppose.

 

[Schweddy]

I'm muuuuuuuuch more worried about the words and actions of the U.S. Constitution violating supposed president of the United States, who if you remember, is a convicted felon and a J6 seditionist.

Oh, a never Trumper that is lost in the weeds. It's going to happen regardless if you worry about it or not.

Expand your horizons and research real conspiracies. They are much more interesting and flexible.

You didn't answer my question tho, what are your thoughts on Kimmel?

Murdoch also in example how autocrats demand complete loyalty. That as you said Murdoch and Fox News is a big reason for today's autocratic regim. Still Murdoch owned WSJ get sued for 10 billion for reporting about the birthday card to Epstein.

The lawsuit is over a story claiming the president wrote a "bawdy" personal note to Jeffrey Epstein in 2003.

They're having a party, aren't they? The right has been celebrating non-stop since Kirk was murdered.
