Which is more offensive? Worthy of investigation? An international concern? To be ignored?

Quote A:

“Frankly, when you see stuff like this — I mean, we can do this the easy way or the hard way. These companies can find ways to change conduct and take action, frankly, on Kimmel, or there’s going to be additional work for the F. C. C. ahead.”

Project 2025 Author & now FCC director Brandon Carr

Quote B:

“We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them, and doing everything they can to score political points from it. in between the finger-pointing, there was grieving. on Friday, the White House flew the flags at half staff which got some criticism but on a human level you can see how hard the president is taking this... Yes, he’s at the fourth stage of grief: construction. demolition, construction. this is not how an adult grieves the murder of somebody he called a friend. this is how a four-year-old mourns a goldfish.”

Jimmy Kimmel (who by the way is not creative, funny or original IMHO)

My breakdown of Jimmy Kimmel quote

“We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them, and doing everything they can to score political points from it.” The idea is, people took quickly to control the narrative early on even if it wasn’t factually accurate like the news pushing ‘pro transgender messages engraved on the bullets’ which were redacted from the primary sources pushing it. The idea of politicizing this tragedy on Left and Right is ridiculous, showcasing those didn’t care about human life though weaponize it to demonize the other side (which happens on both sides of the aisle). The main idea is, politicizing a cold blooded murder of a journalist / prominent political figure is dead wrong.

“In between the finger-pointing, there was grieving. on Friday, the White House flew the flags at half staff which got some criticism but on a human level you can see how hard the president is taking this... He admired President Trump taking initiative to lower the American Flag at half mast in support of Charlie Kirk, though showcased an issue. That issue being, Trump didn’t care about Charlie Kirk. Jimmy Kimmel went on to play a clip of Trump being asked how he is holding up from the death of his dear friend in which he pivoted the conversation to talk about his new ballroom.

“ Yes, he’s at the fourth stage of grief: construction. demolition, construction. this is not how an adult grieves the murder of somebody he called a friend. this is how a four-year-old mourns a goldfish.” Again, contributing to the main idea of the monologue which was to highlight the politicizing of a murder that took the life of a prominent Right Wing figure.

You can disagree with how Jimmy Kimmel went about highlighting the politicizing and handling of Charlie Kirk’s death at the hands of that bastard that killed him, you have to admit it was within his First Amendment Rights as an American and FCC shouldn’t have been so quick to dispose of his show. Quote A provides clarity as to who is to blame for the death of the late night talk show.

Quote A is as follows, “Frankly, when you see stuff like this — I mean, we can do this the easy way or the hard way. These companies can find ways to change conduct and take action, frankly, on Kimmel, or there’s going to be additional work for the F. C. C. ahead.”

Joe Biden and The Democrats had no right to censor or silence Fox News, Newsmax, and OANN which is why they are still on the air along with Fox and Friends, Guttfield Show, so on. Imagine if it were The Left censoring you and your media, now won’t you stop this slippery slope from getting worse when the next administration could easily be a Democrat or 2 administrations from the end of this one? It is a slippery slope.

Neither are offensive. The only comedic part in Kimmel's bit was calling construction the fourth stage of girlie. The goldfish comment was hus opinion, which isn't far off. You get over your goldfish's death quickly and probably say something like Trump, because you no longer have issues with it.

[BonzoInBitburg]

Free speech is dying in the US. There are plenty of reasons for Kimmel to be fired but he's said worse things than what he said this week. Everyone should be alarmed by Trump suggesting TV networks should have their licenses taken away if they disagree with him too much.

Hell even Rafael Cruz of TX said don't go there to Trump!! If vacation Ted is alarmed I'm terrified!!!

[exitseven]

Jimmy Kimmel is a liar. He should have been fired long ago. Maybe Charlie Kirk's widow should now get a civil suit against him to really teach him a lesson

[DrPepper12]

Where's the lie? Did he offend the Fascist Felon's fee fees?

[exitseven]

@DrPepper12 He lied when he said that Charlie Kirks killer was a MAGA supporter. The truth is he as some pro transexual nut job.

[DrPepper12]

Based on the known reporting at the time it was accurate.

[exitseven]

@DrPepper12 Responsible news reporters always check their sources. The fake news just reads something bad about Trump on thee internet and they take it as the gospel truth. Then they always say "unnamed source".

[Avicenna]

You would have had to be pretty crazy to think it was a Trump supporter shooting Charlie Kirk. I mean, use your brain.

[exitseven]

@Avicenna that is the issue with the left.

[Avicenna]

Exactiy- leftists want to lie and be lied to, and , Pepper, even if what you said were accurate, Kimmel has refused to admit he was wrong, which along with his performance on his show, is consistent with him deliberately lying.

[Avicenna]

Your fellow hardcore leftists at Disney took Kimmel off the air for business reasons- he was losing them lots of money and there was no prospect of that being turned around as long as he kept embarrassing himself and his employer. Kimmel was given the chance to at least atone for this incident, but was insubordinate and refused. What employee is allowed to do that?

Now, I know you teach in a New York City Public School, where leftists, especially anti-Semites, can terrorize others with impunity, but most workplaces won’t put up with insubordination and behavior that damages the company’s fiduciary responsibility to shareholders (stakeholders also get hurt by it).

[DrPepper12]

Look at what he actually said. Follow the money from the affiliates

[Avicenna]

As I said, business reasons. I read what he said. No one could interpret that as anything other than him suggesting the trans-loving shooter was a Trump supporter, which is absolute BS.
The idea that he had to be a conservative because his parents were is also utter BS. Most families have at least one outlier in political views.

[Avicenna]

I come from a very leftist family.

[Staximus]

Jimmy Kimmel exercised his right to free speech and his handlers exercised their right to fire him. He didn't get arrested.

[DrPepper12]

I asked offensive.

[seeyounexttuesday]

Anyone who still attempts to paint Charlie Kirk’s assassin as a conservative is a delusional lunatic. Kimmel cheered when Tucker Carlson was kicked off fox

Ironically Tucker turned that firing into a lucrative career and jimmy Kimmel will be like Keith olberman ranting on twitter like a lunatic

ABC is probably very sensitive after they lost $15,000,000 for defaming Trump.

[DrPepper12]

No
So what?
Lol no
