People are seething over another weapons grade disinformation platform getting nuked
Good
I couldn't care less about Jimmy Kimmel but your summary is extremely incomplete. If we nuked weapons grade disinformation platforms where comedians say inaccurate things, Joe Rogan would have caused a mushroom cloud over Austin.People are seething over another weapons grade disinformation platform getting nuked
People will do that , make fools of themselves, people will probably also find themselves unemployed afterwards.Do you think that when Donald Trump dies, the world will mourn him or pop champagne and make TikToks dancing to his death? What do you think?
IMO this is a big part of it. They saw an opportunity and jumped.I believe the ratings for his show were pretty low and this is the perfect opportunity for Disney/ABC to cancel the show. Late night TV is dead.
Yup.
And creatives, teachers, political nutjobs and hardcore LBGTQ promoters always love doing. Promote to kids since they are young, impressionable and a creep can influence them all day at school or on TV.
A creepy guy standing behind a counter selling cellphone plans cant do that. But a crazy pervy teacher or political activist can in hopes no parents find out what their kids are doing.
Pure creep zone territory. And they wonder why normal folks and parents get pissed.
Nothing I said has to do with fear. I'm not talking about any hypothetical potentiality, I'm talking actual stuff that happens. The stuff that happens is what people care about, no one cares what some adult does to his/her own body as long as they leave people alone.That's a reasonable concern, but the problemn is these fears are often times rooted in transphobia. Just like in the 1950s we had politicians accusing the gays of seducing and recruiting kids, before that in the 19th century it was the immigrants grooming kids, etc. There is a long history in the US of linking a marginalized group to grooming kids to generate fear in order to justify discrimination/exclusion, and this seems no different to me because there is no evidence that shows trans people are associated with higher rates of sexual offenses against children.
As always, I'm open to new data
I believe they had him wrapped up in some anti suicide outfit.Anyone see the vids of the shooter getting charged. Not a single response from him (in the vids that's I've seen). Looks like a zombie. Barely moving. I don't know if that's normal or not.
Jimmy made his own bed and now he gets to lie in it. I'm gonna savor it.I couldn't care less about Jimmy Kimmel but your summary is extremely incomplete.

Probably the only time I saw right wing cancel culture at this national scale with full synchronicity between government and corporations was in the run up to the Iraq War. If you weren't a total patriot, you got nuked. And by patriot I mean going along with every claim made from the government. A lot of news broadcasters got nuked. Bill Maher got nuked. Of course that led to the suppression of any discussion that we were going to a disastrous war based on lies, but at the time thats how people demanded it went down. Pretty similar.
Well like I said, lots of comedians make their bed. Very few are lying in it, even if they are a consistent source of weapons grade disinformation.Jimmy made his own bed and now he gets to lie in it. I'm gonna savor it.
Enjoy your firing I guess.![]()

Jimmy Kimmel Pulled “Indefinitely” By ABC After Nexstar Drops Late Nighter From Affiliates Over Charlie Kirk Comments
Jimmy Kimmel is off TV for now after comments the host made about Charlie Kirkdeadline.com
![]()
Hours before the announcements from Nexstar and ABC, FCC Chairman Brendan Carr appeared on Benny Johnson's podcast and blasted Kimmel's remark, calling it "some of the sickest conduct possible." He also threatened some kind of action by the agency. "There are avenues here for the FCC, so there are some ways in which I need to be a little careful, because I could be called wholly to become a judge on some of these claims that come up," Carr said.
"Frankly, when you see stuff like this, I mean, we can do this the easy way, or these companies can find ways to change conduct, to take action, frankly, on Kimmel, or there's going to be additional work for the FCC ahead."
In the United States, the actual major networks (ABC, NBC, CBS, Fox) do not own the local TV stations themselves. The TV stations have licenses to show the content produced by the major networks ("affiliate themselves") but fill the time not taken by the networks with their own programming. The broadcast TV structure of the US has always been this way and if you happen to turn on the local TV station's signal when it's not prime time broadcasting hours you'll find all kinds of local content or licensed content which isn't network programming. The major networks have never tried to fill 24 hours of time with their own programming, nor have they ever tried to directly control the local broadcasting affiliate TV stationsJust in case anyone is interested as I had to google it myself, but Nexstar is a big media channel who owns tons of tv channels. So though they can be affiliated with Disney/abc content they still have control what to show. At least I think that's how it works.
So they would license shows from big media companies for their creative content.
Nexstar didn't like kimmels comments and said fuck em.

Nexstar ABC Affiliates To Preempt “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” Indefinitely Beginning Tonight | Nexstar Media Group, Inc.
Company Objects to Talk Show Host’s Comments on Killing of Charlie Kirk IRVING, TX (Sept. 17, 2025)—Nexstar Media Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: NXST), todaywww.nexstar.tv
Exactly.Nothing I said has to do with fear. I'm not talking about any hypothetical potentiality, I'm talking actual stuff that happens. The stuff that happens is what people care about, no one cares what some adult does to his/her own body as long as they leave people alone.
All the talk shows are dying off. Kimmel, Colbert, and Maher all have their contracts end in 2026. Fallon and Meyers end in 2028. They all got contract extensions late in Biden's presidential term even though all of them lose their network tons of money. All are left leaning (Fallon by far the least, Maher less outspoken than in the past). There has been rumors that the shows were financially propped up by USAID, but I haven't seen proof of that.Lol.
I don't watch any of these guys. But I remember when Colbert got booted a streamer said kimmel will be next. He predicted Fallon has best chance to survive as he's the most likeable and least politically cringey out of them all.
Looks like he was right!

Erin Burnett: "The job should be to speak truth to power, even when there are people who don't like the word truth anymore."
"FAFO" lol
We have gone full circle and become whole again. America is healing![]()
He was planning to run damage control on tonight's show. He knew he fucked up royally after the clip went viral.These outraged reactions to justified consequences often include people using words they don't understand. For example, the word "truth":
There was nothing truthful about what Kimmel said. It was just his own narrow-minded opinion which he felt entitled to broadcast to the world at large. It's amazing how there's so much delusion of this nature too.
A source tells The Hollywood Reporter Kimmel was prepared to address the backlash on Wednesday night's show. He planned to explain what he said and demonstrate how it was taken out of context.
"i was Insincere""Out of context"
Trump using the FCC as a weapon against his critics is ugly. Biden using the FBI as a weapon against Trump was ugly. These tools of immense power should not be wielded so freely or we aren't going to stop until someone's house gets no-knocked by the Green Berets.
Everyone here in this thread is doing more to open their opinions to debate than anyone in other places on the Internet these days TBHIf you can't put your opinions up to open debate, I'd argue that you don't really believe your views hold water.
Jimmy Kimmel said he was far-right.My roommate still thinks the shooter is a groyper but everything I'm hearing suggests he was far left in his beliefs?
I'm sorry but maybe I missed it. Who was the initial man they grabbed with his pants down to his ankles as they were carrying him out?
Nah he was a known political agitator. He admitted to having child pron on his phone while being detained. Being charged with felonies.I'm sorry but maybe I missed it. Who was the initial man they grabbed with his pants down to his ankles as they were carrying him out?
