I'd guess that he feels like his comments were justified.It's weird and somewhat surprising that half the people following the story think that then killer is in love with a transgender furry, while the other half think that's completely fake news. All of my news sources are reporting the transgender furry story with no suggestion that it's fake. Where is everyone else getting their news? |

He didn’t say anything bad about Kirk, he claimed that the killer was a right winger, and that’s it.It’s false, but it wasn’t insensitive, but the government decided that now is the time to start implementing fascism. Now I know why I felt bad when I heard the news about Kirk being murdered. |

Now I know why I felt bad when I heard the news about Kirk being murdered.Yep. His murder was very bad for our country. I can understand firing people for celebrating Kirk's death. But Kimmel didn't do anything of the sort. |

Posted by Easy on Wed Sep 17 22:34:16 2025, in response to Re: Jimmy Kimmel Fans Are Fucked, posted by Spider-Pig on Wed Sep 17 21:21:18 2025. many in MAGA land are working very hard to capitalize on the murder of Charlie Kirk.You don't think that's insensitive for viewers that might be MAGA and also liked Kirk? At the very least it could alienate viewers. His show was put on hiatus because a company that owns 23 ABC stations said that they would preempt it. There's a reason that we never new who Carson, Leno, Letterman, and all the rest voted for. |

What he said wasn't a dismissal offense. Slap on the wrist maybe, but not an outright firing.THe real deal here is that the network was looking for an excuse to kill the show. It was a monumental money loser with lousy ratings. Network TV ratings are in freefall these days. You can add up the ratings for all three of these late night knuckleheads and they come nowhere near what Carson was getting. The government had nothing to do with this. It was strictly a business decision as it was with Stephen Colbert. Jimmy Fallon...watch your back! |

When they cancelled Colbert they could plausibly claim it was a business decision. But by cancelling Kimmel this way, it’s obviously because of viewpoint discrimination. |

Sure it's insensitive and may have seriously displeased some viewers. But that's part of Kimmel's approach to comedy.This would be a lot less serious if the Chairman of the FCC hadn't criticized Kimmel. |

I think that's referencing the claims on one side that Robinson is a leftist man in love with a transgender furry and the other that he's maga."The Maga Gang desperately trying to characterise this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it." |

But if that is really what the is reason why he was taken off the air, a lot worse and disrespectful have been broadcasted and more controversial has been shown. If you don't like what is being said, then just change the channel. Again I find Kimmel's monolog disgusting, but he has a right to say them. |

Iger (Disney CEO.) panicked since millions of $$$ in ad revenue suddenly stopped coming in from the Disney affiliated stations. Kimmel had to go.But IMO, his producers and his (dozen) writers should have gotten the boot too. Didnt anyone over there spot a red flag in his material? What he said on the air had to get by them. This murder was a raw, open wound which shook any rational person. Somebody over there should have thought to just leave any stupid and unjustified hints as to who was behind this off the air. |

Kimmel's comments did not in any way whatsoever approve of the murder. They disapproved of the way some people are using the murder for their own purposes.Sure, those people are offended. But Kimmel's style is to offend people. Nothing new here, except the chairman of the FCC getting involved. |

Your last line, "If you don't like what is being said, then just change the channel." is the issue. If ABC loses viewers, it loses money. The bottom line is that "free speech" does not imply no consequences for what you say. |

What's 100% true is that many on the right are using Kirk's murder to score political points.What's not true is that Robinson (at least recently) supported MAGA politics. Kimmel erred on that. |

What's not true is that Robinson (at least recently) supported MAGA politics. Kimmel erred on that.Kimmel delivered his monologue on Monday night. Tyler Robinson's first court hearing wasn't until Tuesday. I'm not sure Kimmel should have known this when he actually said the "controversial" comments. |
