Jimmy Kimmel Schtick’s Too Cruel for ABC Stations

ABC stations revolted when late-night host Jimmy Kimmel uncorked some revolting remarks concerning the homicide of Charlie Kirk, mendacity in opposition to all proof that the suspect is a Trump supporter.

Kimmel claimed on Monday that “the MAGA gang desperately attempting to characterize this child who murdered Charlie Kirk as something apart from one in every of them and doing every little thing they will to attain political factors from it.”

ABC  could possibly be a response to Nexstar and Sinclair stations asserting they wouldn’t air the Kimmel present. MRC President David Bozell and NewsBusters Managing Editor Curtis Houck joined me to assessment the present scenario.

David made it plain: ABC ought to hearth this man, for as soon as and for all. The stations that objected to Kimmel needs to be counseled. 

At NewsBusters, we by no means count on any leftist platform to be cancelled, or any leftist character to be suspended. We have been shocked at Kimmel, simply as we have been shocked at CBS asserting an finish to Stephen Colbert’s present.

For the final ten years, these “comedians” have been viciously anti-Trump, and our solely job has been to doc it — and in our Alex Christy’s case, doing a joke rely to exactly measure the diploma of Democrat-pleasing “comedy.”

It’s not an exaggeration to say that the Acela Media seem extra upset concerning the lack of Kimmel’s present than they’re about Kirk’s assassination. MSNBC’s Chris Hayes decried “the most recent chapter in Donald Trump’s ongoing marketing campaign to crack down on free speech, dominate the media, and basically render the First Modification meaningless.”

The Left has created a story that Trump precipitated Kimmel’s suspension — and that his FCC chairman Brendan Carr is appearing on his “authoritarian playbook.” Of their story-telling, Kimmel is a free-speech hero. Each vicious journalist or comic in opposition to Trump is a part of the “impartial media.” They sound very depending on Democrat speaking factors. The late-night exhibits tilt in opposition to Republicans of their joke counts and overwhelming favor Democrats as their pampered friends.
