Good morning! โ๏ธ Did you hear the latest buzz? Disney's ABC has decided to pull "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" off the air indefinitely after Kimmel made some controversial comments regarding the assassination of Charlie Kirk. Talk about a late-night plot twist!

Free speech exist but can be dangerous. You can be shot or fired from your job for it.
Then itโs not really free speech.
๐ค
late-night content has always been friskier
since when is late night demographic the same as disney abc
for context: i have not looked up what jimmy said
It was kind of a nothing burger.
Disney owns so much mainstream media now, and theyโre afraid of falling out of favor with the administration.
Exactly
Itโs free speech. But everything has consequences.
Free speech isnโt speech without consequences.
Free speech is speech without government intervention.
Free speech isnt freedom from consequences. You can say whatever you want and I will defend to my death your ability to say it. Doesn't mean everyone is gonna like it. Doesn't mean everyone is gonna let you say it without reacting.
Kinda lame employers cave to it, but yeah
That is the most ignorant interpretation of free speech I have ever read.
His comments werenโt particularly controversial; he was merely mocking the GOP. However, isnโt that precisely the essence of these shows: the left mocking the right, and vice versa?
The parent company is afraid of becoming a political target and is bowing under pressure by the government. Thatโs an attack on speech they donโt like.
Fuck, I said I didnโt want to talk about politics and here I go.
I think also the companies are a little bit fed up with late shows, cost a lot and today the backlash is way bigger than the flowers, Seth Meyers should be worried
I havenโt watched late night television in forever. Itโs epic normie world full of self-congratulatory celebrities. I canโt stand any of it.
Yeah, I donโt really think a lot of people watch these shows anymore. Other than whatever clips seep to the interwebs.
Paying as much as they pay for a 50k views on YouTube of the monologue ain't working, companies are using excuses to cut costs in my view
Interesting g take.
I too havent watched late night TV in a long time but I wouldnt put it past them to use Kirk as the reason to pull Kimmel because they wanted to get rid of him or to pull a stunt to remind people that their show still exists.
who knows.
This is a discussion about basic rights. I think that gets a pass.
Sounds like Kimmel got in trouble for speaking the truth. Ironic.
We'll have to watch re-runs of MASH soon for light night TV. Colbert and now Jimmy!
