I mean, Charlie Kirk was just canceled permanently for trying to have a debate with people. Not quite the same as pulling a show off the air, is it. And Iβm sure heβs still welcome to continue sharing his opinions on BlueSky (or Nostr), so I donβt think his right to free speech is being violated here.
Suddenly, all the MAGAs love cancel culture? π€ https://www.9news.com.au/world/jimmy-kimmel-show-pulled-offair-indefinitely-after-charlie-kirk-remarks/2d96c5ce-aa33-4e98-9406-1e9b48a30e0f?app=applenews

Kimmelβs comments were illogical and maybe a little insensitive, but not getting canned worthy imo. My bet is his ratings were so bad, they planned to do it anyway and seized the opportunity to go out in an incendiary way
What he said was not a joke. He presented a fact that he knew is false and meant to incite. Thatβs why he got punished. And they are sick of him and his bad ratings and this is just an opportune time.
