ABC is so afraid of Trump they caved in remarkably quickly. Kimmel's remarks were indeed inflammatory. But ABC's cowardly decision must be evaluated in the context of comments by Trump, Bondi and Vance about going after "hate speech" which even Kirk said was protected by the First Amendment.
This is not a good day for free speech. Remember when the ACLU supported the Nazi's right to march in Skokie? Those days seem to be gone.

I knew,this was going to happen. Silencing of he's critics...Networks, Journalist will be walking on eggshell to not offend the Der Führer..yeah I said it...
"Look, happy is calling us nazies"...wake up righties

The 1st Amendment is essentially done.  We're literally turning into Russia and North Korea right before our eyes.

...was to offer his and his wife's condolences to Kirk's family.

You just can't let go of the nazi thing, can you?  

"Hate speech does not exist legally in America. There's ugly speech. There's gross speech. There's evil speech. And ALL of it is protected by the First Amendment. Keep America free."

Unfortunately, we've spiraled even deeper into authoritarianism.

Were you concerned with 1A issues at any point over the last 6 years?

Why ABC isn't suing on First Amendment grounds.  Oh, forgot, they are a Trump loving company.  What a bunch of spineless people.

...posted on X:
"They're doing their viewers a favor.
Jimmy is a sick freak!

No, that's the point!

and go on a marathon Trump-bashing spree. Just to see what happens.

"That leaves Jimmy and Seth, two total losers, on Fake News NBC.  Their ratings are also horrible.  Do it NBC!!!"

...he played a clip of Trump Friday on the White House lawn showing how hard Trump was grieving over Charlie Kirk's murder:

America is sick of your sides shit!!

...you're too stupid to know it:

but let’s take a look at what was public knowledge when Kimmel made his vile remarks about Trump supporters killing Charlie Kirk.
Megyn Kelly gives us a thorough breakdown of:

Far from being "in the toilet" Kimmel's show last quarter ranked second in late night.
"Average Viewers:  
In the second quarter of 2025, the show averaged 1.772 million viewers.  
Ranking:  
This placed Jimmy Kimmel Live! in second place for late-night shows during that period, per TV Insider.  
Demo Advantage: Kimmel also held an advantage in the 18-49 demo, beating Colbert with 220,000 viewers, according to TV Insider."
Just another example of why no one here should believe certain posters.

The left lives by different rules…

The ratings you cite were for a single month. The ratings I cited were for an entire quarter. Do you not comprehend the difference between one month and a quarter? Hint: a quarter is THREE months. Thus it is a more relevant measurement. Unless, that is, you are The SPOAT.
Get your facts straight, SPOAT.

His masked gestapo rounding up people sending them to concentration prisons or other countries,silencing critics,
He's one step away from the unthinkable, but if Ali Alexander had his way, 500k of his distractors would be sentence or exterminated. And his FBI enemies list...who does that??
So, C'mon man....prove me wrong (in memory of charlie)...tell me this isn't Nazi shit here?

How can I be "cherry picking" when I picked the most recent quarter? That's the opposite of cherry picking. you dimwit. And ad rates are set based on QUARTERLY ratings.
And, yes, you ARE The Stupidest Poster Of All Time.
Pinhead...

Evidently there's at least one member who doesn't understand the Law of Large Numbers, or how the bigger the sample the more accurate it is. You can explain it to him, but he will never understand.

Why was this ok?

So everyone wants to blame.... TRUMP and FCC....   WRONG.  

As nakedly partisan and an ignorer of facts.
Kimmel was suspended AFTER the Trump-appointed head of the FCC publicly threatened the management of his parent company. Mr. Carr said the F.C.C. was going to need to look into “remedies,’’ pointedly saying that the “licensed broadcasters” who carry ABC’s programming needed to push back against the parent network.
This was followed by announcements by a major station group with ABC affiliates, Nexstar, that it would independently pre-empt Mr. Kimmel’s show.  As it happens, Nexstar is pursuing a station merger that will require F.C.C. approval.
And yet, to you none of this matters.

From The NY Times:  
"President Trump told reporters he believed the F.C.C. should revoke the broadcast licenses of networks who have late night show hosts who speak overly negatively about him.

So now you are actually speculating what is happening?

Now this is bullshit.   This is wrong.... dont agree with him about this at all.

What will South Park do with this? It seems tailor made for them. They've been going after Trump big time. Now we'll see how big their balls are.
I just read they pulled a re-run of an earlier episode featuring a likeness of Kirk, so maybe their balls aren't that big. According to this article, Kirk's executive producer wants the episode to run.

I was thinking the same thing.    They also didn't air the new episode that was supposed to be aired last night.

Is Trump the President?
Am I a late-night host, now forbidden to criticize him?
If you answered "yes" to the first question and "no" to the second then STFU.

And yes, Loser IS "a little bitch."
Rave on, Loser.
Oh, and eat THIS!

Liberals here and across the country have been whining and clutching their pearls about Trump and the FCC censoring Kimmel, but we already know that was a market driven decision by ABC and a conglomerate of local stations that carry ABC programming.

Oh the irony:

Dont know how accurate is this.....

So not just a twitter "meme" or picture.

‘Dangerous as hell’: Cruz blasts FCC’s Jimmy Kimmel takedown
The Texas Republican called Brendan Carr’s actions “right out of ‘Goodfellas.’”
http://www.politico.com/live-updates/2025/09/19/congress/cruz-calls-out-fcc-for-taking-down-jimmy-kimmel-00573159

According to The NY Times: "Tucker Carlson, the conservative writer and podcaster, told listeners this week that Mr. Kirk never would have wanted his death to be used as a pretext for a crackdown on speech.

...that Cruz looked like a blobfish.  Cruz didn't demand an apology or that Kimmel be removed from the air.  Instead, Kimmel and Cruz played a one-on-one game of basketball to settle their differences. Cruz won 11-9.

That's a hilarious story. Favorite quote: “You’re a good sport,” Kimmel told Cruz in defeat. “I still think you’re a terrible senator.”
