In what world is this an offense worthy of being fired?
He didn’t condone Kirk’s death. He condemned the violence itself multiple times. He’s just pointing out that the blame game and villainization started from the White House before Kirk’s body was even cold.
How does anyone claim to support free speech and also support this administration? How can you with a straight face?
This is straight up censorship. Trump is using Kirk’s assassination to ram through an authoritarian agenda, like Bush post-9/11 with the Patriot Act.
I’ve never even been a Jimmy Kimmel fan, I think Colbert and Stewart are funnier than him, but this is insane.

They replaced him with celebrity family feud, which is arguably better. No complaints here.

I’d be fine with this if ABC decided to do it themselves like NBC did with the guy that said Charlie was asking for it. I HATE that the government is pressuring media. It’s never been okay in the past and it’s not okay now.

This isn’t about anything specific that Jimmy said about Kirk or the shooting or who’s responsible.
This is about Trump weaponizing the FCC through Project 2025 co-writer (and now FCC chair) Brendan Carr to take out anyone who hurts Dear Leader’s feelings.
Carr just said “There’s more work to go”

You’ve gotta be a special kind of stupid to think he was „MAGA“.
He had a trans girlfriend, he wrote (among other things) „UWU“ on a bullet, and (and I can’t stress this enough) he murdered someone who speaks to almost all of the right wing things that MAGA are alligned with.
I have never supported cancel culture, so not commenting on his firing here, but calling that killler „MAGA“ is fucking absurd.

You are excluding the part where he says the MAGA gang hit a new low this weekend. Sorry, but that part is important in how he characterizes and implies this shooter is MAGA

Oh right or you forgot that the broadcast license is given under the obligation to operate in the best interests of the FULL American public, something hardly EVER done on Kimmel’s show, although let’s be honest, Kimmel was on the chopping block for ratings disaster mitigation anyway

Maybe I would care if the left was ever genuine in their cancel culture outrage over the years. Kimmel should have been canned when they all deemed blackface and ‚misogyny“ unacceptable. Since he is in the 100% anti-Trump crowd, they made sure he kept his platform.

Just fight each other already. From other countries perspectives, all you Americans do is bitch at eachother and everything really. Cry moan whine left right up down. Or go after the shitty government you all like to complain about online behind screen..just a thought.
Figure it out, because whining online about the opposite side or goverment isn’t working out for you guys..clearly. lol.

I don’t know his contract but I’m guessing they are using this as a pretext for his firing. Maybe ratings were down, maybe advertisers were upset, maybe they just want to change formats from an already archaic type of show. I’m guessing this is less to do with what he said in more with an excuse

Late night died with Conan. Nothing of value was lost. None of you watch his show and not a single person you know watches it either.

And just after that, he talked about how the president was grieving….cuts to the clip where Trump is asked how he is holding up and he says “ I think very good, and if you look over there you see all the trucks….“ changing the subject to the ballroom construction. Pointing out how Trump really doesn’t care about Charlie Kirk or anyone else. This all just seems like typical late night TV. I dont see the problem but welcome to our one party autocratic oligarchy…we may not be able to vote our way out of this.

Wasn’t there also some misinformation about the political and social positions of the alleged shooter?

I’m sorry, but if the networks are truly that scared of the FCC that’s on them. Networks and shows have fought the FCC before in court. You see none of that here, so chances are the heads of the network wanted to cancel the show and used this as an excuse. Does nobody remember Eminem, or George Carlin? The real conspiracy is that they canceled these shows to sow more division.

FCC Chairman Carr is considering broadcast ownership limits that would unleash a new wave of media consolidation.
“With this proceeding Chairman Carr is placing a for-sale sign on the public airwaves and inviting media companies to monopolize the local news markets as long as they agree to display political fealty to Donald Trump and the MAGA movement,” said S. Derek Turner, the senior economic and policy adviser at Free Press, in a statement.
Kimmel was taken off air this week after a threat from Brendan Carr.

**The FCC did not censor Jimmy Kimmel,** the FCC head said they were going to look at it, ABC’s carrier in major markets Nextar said it would no longer carry the show. The show was already losing money without this carrier it would have lost millions more.

This bizarre theory that the assassin was a Groyper was started but Heather Cox Richardson, a far left liberal professor in Boston with a large Substack following.
It never made much sense and was debunked pretty quickly.
But the Left doesn’t really change their mind when presented with facts. So even after the information was clear they kept saying it, and probably still are all day today on Reddit. Pretty dumb

FCC Chairman Carr is considering broadcast ownership limits that would unleash a new wave of media consolidation.
Carr is working on behalf of the Trump administration to use the FCC’s leverage over broadcast licenses and media mergers “to exert total control over the media,” according to [comments](https://www.freepress.net/sites/default/files/2025-08/Free_Press_Aug_2025_National_Broadcast_Cap_FCC_Comments.pdf) filed with the FCC on August 3.
“With this proceeding Chairman Carr is placing a for-sale sign on the public airwaves and inviting media companies to monopolize the local news markets as long as they agree to display political fealty to Donald Trump and the MAGA movement,” said S. Derek Turner, the senior economic and policy adviser at Free Press, in a statement.
