Kimmel said nothing remotely celebratory. He literally condemned the violence and mildly suggested the right was using his death to score political points. (AKA the truth which you can’t deny.)
Barr said “conservative” things? You mean absolutely vile racist shit? Yeah I guess that tracks. There’s one little fucking difference though, the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT didn’t call for her firing. ABC can fire whoever they want, but you have to be fucking blind to not see the government putting their hand on the scale here. That’s blatantly unconstitutional.
Where did I say Barr said “conservative things”? You literally just made something up and then had a go at me for it lol
Kimmel flat out lied and said that the shooter of Charlie Kirk was “one of their own” in regards to “MAGA”. He said this to push his liberal leftist political ideology, to paint the shooter as a “MAGA”. We know with 100% certainty, and had known for a long time before Kimmel said this, that he was a leftist. His own parents told us this. His friends and colleagues said this. His trans furry boyfriend’s text conversations confirmed this (as if the existence of a trans furry boyfriend didn’t already confirm it lol).
Kimmel blatantly lied, on public tv, to push his political ideologies.
Kimmel said MAGA was desperate to prove the shooter wasn’t one of them. That is literally true, they immediately started spinning stories before facts were known. At the time it was still unclear what was going on, which is probably why Kimmel didn’t say the shooter was MAGA and only that MAGA was currently trying to prove he wasn’t.
Also, in the US you are allowed to lie for political reasons all you want. Even if we assume that Kimmel somehow knew the motivation of the shooter and then lied about it, that doesn’t change the fact that he has a right to freedom of speech.
Would it make sense for a MAGA supporter to assassinate one of the biggest MAGA proponents?
Also you’re getting what he said wrong. He said they’re desperately trying to prove it’s anyone but one of their own, implying that it is one of their own. When he said this we KNEW the shooter was a leftist - we had his parents confirming it, his friends, his colleagues, his chats, his trans furry boyfriend……
Freedom of speech means the government can’t prosecute you for what you say. How do you guys still not understand this? ABC are not the government. ABC fired him for what he said.
And no, you can’t just say whatever lies you want on tv - the FCC has rules around what can be said on free to air tv.
What vile thing did Jimmy Kimmel say? Please quote him accurately. And if the vile thing is just him quoting what Trump said, we shouldn’t hold that against Kimmel.
“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 and doing everything they can to score political points from it”
Blatant, outright lies and misinformation for political reasons.
Note I never said that he said anything “vile”. Kimmel faced consequences for lying.
Your reading comprehension is not good. He didn’t claim the guy was MAGA. He claimed the MAGA people were bending over backwards to claim he wasn’t. Did that happen or not?
The Kimmel quote in your image says Barr saw consequences for saying something “vile.” Kimmel would have to have said something vile for this to be hypocrisy. Not something true but uncomfortable.
Some people also have a lot of trouble understanding that Kimmel is a comedian.
But hey, if we’re pulling things off the air for intentionally spreading misinformation for political purposes on live TV, then lets shut down Fox News, Newsmax, and OAN too.
Of course you go straight to that trash. Liberals all over have been celebrating the political assassination of Charlie Kirk, so I guess the social contract is broken and now all liberals shouldn’t be tolerated?
It’s an impressive feat to get -5000 reputation in only 4 months. Again, you gotta try to be this toxic and terminally online. Even AI can’t pump out that much hate that fast.
The guys crying about censorship, the tolerant left, now back to championing censorship in a thread complaining about what they consider censorship 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
So, if I click the block button (which, trust me, I plan on doing regardless of your answer), you think that it somehow prevents others from seeing you be this dumb?
If someone walks away from you in person after you tell them the dumbest thing they’ve heard all day, does that somehow mean they’re censoring you?
Not tuning into Jimmy Kimmel is not censorship of Jimmy Kimmel. Blocking someone is choosing not to read what they wrote. You’re really striking out here.
It doesn’t matter what she said, at all. ABC decided they didn’t like it and chose to fire her…….just like they did with Kimmel. Kimmel and the left celebrated her firing, as you can see in the picture, and now they’re crying that Kimmel got fired for arguably an even worse thing - flat out lying to the public on tv for political reasons.
Just to be clear, you’re calling stating a fact equally as bad as calling someone the baby of the Muslim Brotherhood and Planet of the Apes, and demanding an equal response to both.
You’re either disingenuous to the extreme or an idiot. There’s literally not a third option.
Kimmel didn’t state a fact. Kimmel lied to spread his usual liberal propaganda bullshit.
Liberals celebrated ABC firing someone for what they said, now they’re crying and trying to “cancel” them. Typical flip flop leftist idiots.
Also this comes days after attacking the right for employing “cancel culture” to get people celebrating murder fired 🤣. Leftists love cancel culture, then they say it doesn’t exist, then they hate it, and now they’re right back to loving it again. Amazing.
Just to be clear - I’m not equating what anyone said. I’m simply pointing out that ABC fired someone for what they said, and leftists are showing their arses in how hypocritical they are.
I stopped reading here. No. You can infer whatever you want from someone’s words, but you can’t call someone a liar for something you think they implied.
Funny, you guys didn’t want to boycott ABC when they fired conservatives for things they said off screen, in fact people like Kimmel celebrated it.
What’s changed?
Kimmel said nothing remotely celebratory. He literally condemned the violence and mildly suggested the right was using his death to score political points. (AKA the truth which you can’t deny.)
Barr said “conservative” things? You mean absolutely vile racist shit? Yeah I guess that tracks. There’s one little fucking difference though, the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT didn’t call for her firing.

Kimmel lied and intentionally spread misinformation for political purposes, on live tv.
Nothing to do with anything trump said. What are you even talking about?
I asked for a quote of a vile thing he said. Please quote it.
Blatant, outright lies and misinformation for political reasons.
Note I never said that he said anything “vile”. Kimmel faced consequences for lying.
That is an objective fact, not a lie.
Nope, it’s a lie because it’s implying that he was “MAGA” which we knew for fact at the time of Kimmels monologue was incorrect.
Your reading comprehension is not good. He didn’t claim the guy was MAGA. He claimed the MAGA people were bending over backwards to claim he wasn’t. Did that happen or not?
The Kimmel quote in your image says Barr saw consequences for saying something “vile.” Kimmel would have to have said something vile for this to be hypocrisy. Not something true but uncomfortable.
Your reading comprehension is terrible, not mine. Kimmel was saying that the murderer was “MAGA”, when everyone knew at the time that he was not.
Some people also have a lot of trouble understanding that Kimmel is a comedian.
But hey, if we’re pulling things off the air for intentionally spreading misinformation for political purposes on live TV, then lets shut down Fox News, Newsmax, and OAN too.
Kimmel hasn’t been a comedian for a long time.
The paradox of tolerance. You’re quoting an racist remark - there’s no need to tolerate intolerance as the social contract is broken.
Of course you go straight to that trash. Liberals all over have been celebrating the political assassination of Charlie Kirk, so I guess the social contract is broken and now all liberals shouldn’t be tolerated?
Hey fellow Lemmy friends, here’s a great chance to try out the block user functionality
It’s an impressive feat to get -5000 reputation in only 4 months. Again, you gotta try to be this toxic and terminally online. Even AI can’t pump out that much hate that fast.
How do you check your coolness points?

What did Roseanne say? I know what she said, I want to know if you know.
It doesn’t matter what she said, at all. ABC decided they didn’t like it and chose to fire her…….just like they did with Kimmel.

Thanks for proving which you were. Goodbye.
You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
Did you not read the quotes from Kimmel in the picture in my comment that you replied to?
