ABC Bends the Knee, Removes Kimmel

Thursday, September 18, 2025

Disney's ABC said it would take Jimmy Kimmel's popular late-night show off its schedule "indefinitely" after one of the biggest owners of TV stations in the U.S., Nexstar Media, said it intended to pre-empt airings of the program following remarks the host made about the killing of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.

No, he's just an authoritarian/fascist that you gleefully voted for and enthusiastically support even now.

Have you started wiping your a*& with pages from your beloved pocket Constitution yet? You're doing it figuratively; you might as well start doing it literally.

ABC/Disney needs Trump's blessing to complete a merger. Kimmel has been sacrificed to please the souless bloodsuckers.

I am sure all the rightwads that cried over Biden removing revenge porn from the internet will cheer this because it fits their narrative.

The snowflake in chief cannot be criticized and all dissent must be squashed.

This is a just another stab at the heart of democracy.

Fuck all magat scum

The ONLY reason, and it's not debatable or unclear, that this even became a thing was because of cancel culture. If you don't like people being canceled because of what they say, liberals shouldn't have been fighting so hard to do it. Out of all the liberal hypocrisy that is ruling your party today, THIS is by far the most egregious. To ignore the last 10+ years of liberals canceling every single person they could find that said things that didn't agree with liberal ideology is just absolutely absurd. Someone like Trump gets elected almost solely because of liberal actions.

Forgot to finish that post with a quote I've been saying for years here and anyone who has been here long enough has seen it...

"What one party does, so will the other...it's only a matter of time."

This has been true ever since I was old enough to understand politics. Those 4 decades have proven me right over and over again.

Every Trump supporter right now applauding Trump threatening ABC with consequences unless they suspend Jimmy Kimmel must also applaud when a Democratic president in 4yrs threatens Fox News with consequences unless they suspend Greg Gutfeld.

Cancel culture is not a thing you rancid turd

What you are referring to is people expressing their opinions at noxious and vile speech and behavior

People are allowed to have opinions

People are allowed to express their opinions by boycotting those nasty people

But no powerful person has been cancelled

Bill Maher has gotten rich and still has a show

Louis ck and Kevin spacey and Gina Carano still get work

Jk Rowling is still writing books

Cancel culture is a lie you have swallowed by right wing professional victims

What is happening now IS actual censorship

You're too fucking stupid to understand the difference

"What one party does, so will the other...it's only a matter of time."

You really are just a One Trick Pony aren't you?

Both parties are not the same. This is just another maga lie.

The lie goes kinda like this:

Since everyone in politics is corrupt and ineffectual, you might as well vote for the corrupt and ineffectual candidate who will troll on your behalf, espousing your culture-war arguments, because at least you will have the satisfaction of driving the other side crazy.

This is the lie you want democrats and liberals to believe.

Because if liberals come to believe that both parties are the same then there's no point in voting, then a small margin of committed ideologues is enough to swing an election rightward.

And, of course, this is exactly what has happened so if a lie works keep doing it right Mr Both Parties are the Same?

Accusations of cancel culture are the right wing's effort to prevent you from having an opinion you don't like

The left doesn't like a pundit posting racist shit? You point it out- you're canceling him

The right doesn't like a beer company giving a trans person a can of beer BOYCOTT and that's just fine

Right wing scum are forever victims
