These nitwits are like a pack of shovel carrying lefties who can’t resist the urge to dig deeper into the hole they’re in. It’s suicidal, but enjoyable to watch! 😂😂😂
Disappointed that ABC / Disney caved. The Left is powerful in media and entertainment and they were undoubtedly putting on the full-court press to get Kimmel back on. His voice, and willingness to lie on behalf of his tribe, is very useful to the DNC to spread the Leftist messages to the population.
The question is not if ABC caved. The question is Sinclair and NexStar. They were the ones that said they would preempt his show. He loses at least a third if the national audience
If you want to get even madder, listen to Matt Taibbi and Walter Kirn talking about this issue today on America This Week. Both pretty pissed off! They point out the ACLU never bothered raising a voice when thousands of people were swept off internet platforms. Of course all these virtuous celebrities were silent as well.
As I've posted on LAist and LA Times Instagram pages: As a MAGA Extremist Republican, I welcome Jimmy back from suspension. Here's hoping that, more than ever, he covers himself and his worshippers in his feculence. The DNC should become an overt sponsor! :D
Jimmy Kimmel stands in front of his audience, utters some hateful lines about or against Trump or his side and the audience applauds. They don't laugh - they applaud. That's because Kimmel is a propagandist engaged in the dehumanization of a group of people. He is NOT a comedian or a presenter or a host engaged in joke telling. He's nothing but a complete asshole as are many of the signers of the letter referenced in your post.
LOL. I didn't care when he left, and I do not care that he's back. The last time I watched him he was doing stupid stuff in football broadcasts. Never struck me as funny so I haven't followed his work since.
I'm glad. Let them continue to eat their own cake. Hope they gorge themselves on it. It would have been wonderful IF Carr hadn't stepped in and said what he said. ABC tried to use Trump as an excuse. Let them do their own dirty work. If they want to be a charity for late-night monologues, let them. I didn't want them to have it as a talking point or a campaign point. Go right ahead. Show us all who you are. Over and over and over again.
I think with Carr opening his asinine pie hole, this was the way everything had to go. My guess is Jimbo runs the rest of his contract and they don’t renew. This way, at least the POS doesn’t get to sit at home and play martyr all while being paid. Now, he’ll have to continue to dance his seal dance for his Betters and sing the songs they want him to sing, whether it be Pharma or the DNC.
To me the most amazing thing is that ABC is owned by publicly listed companies (namely Disney). the CEO and executives at Disney have a fiduciary duty to shareholders to maximize value. It's actually a legal obligation. If Kimmel is truly losing a material amount of money, they are saying "we do not acknowledge our fiduciary responsibility and are willing to lose our corporation, and thus shareholders, money." Calculus must be that the board and shareholders will be ok with that and not sue.
Yeah its definitely true that the management doesn't care about their typical viewer (or they DO care about "people", but mostly the people that run in the same social circles as CEOs - celebrities and so forth). Still, corporate management gets sued for all sorts of stuff like issuing options, poison pills, etc., when these activities destroy shareholder value. But paying a celebrity millions of dollars and airing a show that in turn loses the company millions of dollars (if the reporting is to be believed) seems like a no-brainer for corporate litigators and unhappy shareholders.
Boycott Disney. Stop giving money to people who hate you. Vote with your wallet.
I did that 35 yrs ago. I still don't own a TV. It didn't seem to help

Certainly not lefties. Democrats. Thats all

Did they mean it?
I suspect that they are giving him enough rope to hang himself, not realizing that their "entertainment" model is a rotting corpse already.
Seriously? You expected anything else?

"Feculence"... that's a vocabulary keeper.
...personally? ... I always thought Kimmel's salary WAS an in-kind donation to the DNC ...
Love new words…how perfectly apropos.
Thank you Sasha. Kimmel’s show won’t last long.
And after a few weeks when ratings tank, they can say canning him is due to financial reasons.
The wild card is Sinclair and Nexstar.
I give it several weeks.
Then again, I have never watched a single episode.
Like I care what Ben and Meryl have to say...
Stay in your own lane.
He's hot now. I predict he will officiate at an important awards show in the near future.
Yes it will. It's being financed by outside sources. USAID got destroyed, there is a ton of others to step in.
I didn’t watch him before and I won’t watch him now.

It likely will be noted in amongst the Hollywooders is who was offered to sign, but declined.
So is Gutfeld whatever
There you go again
When its true why deny it?
LOL. I didn't care when he left, and I do not care that he's back. The last time I watched him he was doing stupid stuff in football broadcasts. Never struck me as funny so I haven't followed his work since.
I hope Nextstar and Sinclair stand firm. Kimmel is a pimple in the path of progress.
Bet they don't. I think the whole thing a set-up that the right swallowed - hook, line, and sinker.
He's back? Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn.
Too bad we can't bring back Charlie Kirk.
FABC
Skip the puberty and go to sudden death.
Hey Charlie, how do you pronounce that last name?
Didn’t watch him before - won’t watch him now. Come to think of it, I don’t watch ABC or Disney.
Oddly, I’m doing fine.
No ESPN?
Actually, no: I’ve never been a sports fan. I hate to sound jaundiced but I will play sports but I really can’t watch anyone else play.

Remember when Bud Light lost a ton of money when they had all the Trans stuff? And Target? I don't think they care about the people

Well, I bet his ratings will go up now. They probably only suspended him to revive a dying show. Disgusting vultures.
