I think that is the scenario that will make the most people mad
left people are already mad they removed him in the first place, and now right people will throw a hissy fit that the left people cried loud enough to get him back
The government put preasure on them to remove him, they did not formally do anything
the government being the FCC head person, at least that is as far as I understand the situation
this does btfo the "they wanted an excuse to remove him anyways" cope though
Replying to Phijkchu_Pikachu #klombak the government being the FCC head person, at least that is as far as I understand the situation
thats because you follow retards the fcc had no hand in it
I didn't say they made a formal complaint
I said didn't the guy at the fcc make a comment about it
Which caused disney and ABC to panic and remove him
I also don't follow anyone who talks about politics. I am piecing together random things I read here and other random snippets of this story i have heard through osmosis
I agree it is not him directly pressuring disney, but it is 100% the reason they paniced and removed him
they should have not removed him in the first place, that was retarded
I swear to god, there was something someone important said that caused it
Unless I am retarded
which is possible
this did not come out of nowhere
dolf, if you are saying literally no one brought up the Kimmel bit before they fired him
okay, my bad
I swear someone did
I meant people of relevance not random skitzos, but yeah
Either way, this entire situation was stupid, they should not have fired him in the first place, but also he is unfunny so I was not sheading any tears he got fired (briefly)
Are you sure the tweet was after, I keep seeing that it was a few hours before
I want to thank Nexstar for doing the right thing. ︀︀ ︀︀Local broadcasters have an obligation to serve the public interest. While this may be an unprecedented decision, it is important for broadcasters to push back on Disney programming that they determine falls short of community values. ︀︀ ︀︀I hope that other broadcasters follow Nexstar’s lead. Quoting Benny Johnson (@bennyjohnson ︀ BREAKING NEWS: Official ABC broadcast affiliate Nexstar is REMOVING Jimmy Kimmel from all 32 of their ABC stations until Disney answers for Kimmel’s despicable attack on Charlie Kirk. ︀︀ ︀︀Great job [@NXSTMediaGroup.](https://x.com/NXSTMediaGroup.)

there was this but its not really calling for anything to happen
Jimmy ‘Blackface’ Kimmel’s apparently outrageous conduct is the problem here, not the calling of it out. 💬 2.3K 🔁 758 ❤️ 5.1K 👁️ 770.3K
Its CNN, but apparently he made a comment on a podcast or something
I have no idea what fucking podcast it was though
Yeah, I agree they are shitposting about it
but I am still pretty sure the timeline is "FCC guy said something" "Disney paniced and fired him"
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The FCC guy had involvement
the FCC formally did not
I don't care about the law
I still think its cringe
Replying to Phijkchu_Pikachu #klombak but I am still pretty sure the timeline is "FCC guy said something" "Disney paniced and fired him" (edited)
there was an official statement that said he was fired because he was going to double down and I think it was before the FCC applied pressure
I see
either way, whatever, he should have been allowed to do it
you have to let cringe late night hosts do their thing so you can get skibity biden

“Sinclair will not lift the suspension of "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" on our stations until formal discussions are held with ABC regarding the network's commitment to professionalism and accountability. Sinclair also calls upon Mr. Kimmel to issue a direct apology to the Kirk family. Furthermore, we ask Mr. Kimmel to make a meaningful personal donation to the Kirk Family and Turning Point USA. Regardless of ABC's plans for the future of the program, Sinclair intends not to return "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" to our air until we are confident that appropriate steps have been taken to uphold the standards expected of a national broadcast platform.” Sinclair, Inc. (Nasdaq: SBGI) is a diversified media company and a leading provider of local news
I think the non insane ask is a retraction of specific claims. You can't reasonably demand someone donate money
He should have to get shot in the neck publically by a random skitzo
