Disney’s ABC said it would take Jimmy Kimmel‘s popular late-night show off its schedule “indefinitely” after one of the biggest owners of TV stations in the U.S., Nexstar Media, said it would pre-empt airings of the program following remarks the host made about the killing of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.
Nexstar said Wednesday that its “owned and partner television stations affiliated with the ABC Television Network will preempt “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” for the foreseeable future, beginning with tonight’s show.” The company said it “strongly objects to recent comments made by Mr. Kimmel concerning the killing of Charlie Kirk and will replace the show with other programming in its ABC-affiliated markets.”

When will America wake up and see the canary is dead in your coal mine.
They are actively inventing excuses to pull people willing to speak against the dictator running your country.
Kimmel is being pulled because he pointed out that celebrities of all kinds are pouring one out for a racist, transphobic, homophobic bigot, and not the one who is president this time

Anyone that has a problem with what he said must demand that every right-winger who blamed the left also be taken off the air. If not, then you’re just a hypocrite.

“We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang trying to characterize this kid who killed Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them,” Kimmel said.
I’m so tired of these megacorps getting final say over this.

This is a big deal.
He did not say anything negative about Charlie Kirk. He was quite respectful. He called out the MAGA ghouls for exploiting his death.

The quote from FCC Chairman Carr is *disturbing.* After saying Kimmel was pushing a „lie“ to the American people about the Kirk shooter being MAGA, he said:
> „And I’ve been very clear from the moment that I have become chairman of the FCC, I want to reinvigorate the public interest. And what people don’t understand is that the broadcasters, and you’ve gotten this right, are entirely different than people that use other forms of communication. They have a license granted by us at the FCC, and that comes with it an obligation to operate in the public interest.“
He just openly admitted that speaking in contradiction to the Trump regime is „against the public interest“ and can result in broadcast licenses being taken away. We’re a hop and a skip away from State Media.
