Yes, Comrade.
It isn't a communist thing.
Even in a capitalistic model, it makes sense for Kimmel to stay on even with lower ratings, if he drives views at 11:00PM or 12:30AM, or otherwise bolsters ABC's roster of shows, as he is a big name.
But none of that is relevant for this discussion.

No I don't.
But I do know that it had nothing to do with his suspension last week.
Sure it does.
The affiliates all have different ratings and they anticipate shifts in the audience. If you own or run an affiliate in a very conservative, Christian market, the Kimmel monologue stung very hard.

Perhaps Nextstar thinks that it will also put them in the Adminstration's good graces. This has been true of large U.S. businesses and any Administration.

It sounds like you don't like the word "profit". So you repackaged it to make it more palatable for yourself.

Yes, it is clear as day that he was saying what the MAGA gang was doing and not insinuating that the shooter himself was MAGA.
He was suspended because Brendan Carr threatened to pull ABC's license
If that's true then why is Kimmel back on the air??

But you were not correct in your earlier post. You were wrong as usual
I was spot on. You Lefties wont admit that it was one of your own that shot Charlie Kirk, and you still wont admit to it.

You even said it yourself, you think he's either MAGA or a goyper

Just a little education for you lefties, the FCC doesn't have the power to revoke a national TV network's license

As I mentioned, Kimmel put Disney in a bad place. I'm sure some here want to blame the Trump Administration for Disney's political miscues
It's never smart to alienate 50% of your viewing audience

I fail to see anything about censorship.
This is how authoritarian governments gain power.
I didnt move the topic to china. Your buddy did. And i merely pointed out any semblance of censorship in the west pales in comparison to what has and is happening in communist china. Then you post a irrelevant article about canada-china trade relationship. I mean way to go off on a tangent 🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦

And you make assumptions of what i support. I support a full fledge democracy vs authoritarian rule. What i want is the us to have a stronger opposition party with better ideas to combat the party in power (whoever that may be) because that is what makes a democracy stronger with strong ideas challenged with better ideas. It is too bad, the democratic party has devolved into the state that is in right now.

I understand the racist joke went way over your head. I edited in some more emojis for you. 🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

You want a stronger opposition as long as its not the dems and that comics don't get to call out the leadership?
But its not censorship when it happens to people you don't like.
Ok.

Filipo, I have scoured the internet to find if Tyler Robinson has leftist affiliations and found nothing. Utah is a hardcore GOP State, if you have evidence please inform us.

I looked into Wyatt's assertions, he's only half right. Little Rock is a murder capital with the highest crime rate of any State Capital. Lubbock is the home of Texas Tech University and the number 1 city for health care in Texas. In the American Health Care index, Texas ranks 32nd, they would be lower without Lubbock. Jimmy Kimmel would be popular there.

Apparently some of our membership actually believe last night's ratings bump will carry into the future.

I'm guessing by Halloween Guillermo stunts will be back to tiring the audience and ratings will be back to normal or even somewhat lower.

If Kimmel double downs on MAGA, the whole ratings thing could ugly and desperate. I would leave the mixing of politics and comedy to Maher, Stewart and Oliver. They're all better at it.

Oh, so now we’re doing family trees to decide political guilt? Cute. Tell me, was his dog a Democrat too, or did the goldfish vote MAGA?

Since we are doing family trees, what political stripe was his entire family??

Here’s the inconvenient truth, honeybun: your cult owns the lion’s share of political violence in the US. But hey, don’t let boring ol’ data get in the way of your bedtime story where every lefty is a secret assassin. Projection really is your cult's love language. 👩‍❤️‍👩

ps... And if you’re actually interested in the record instead of the hot takes, reputable fact-checks show the suspect’s party affiliation and motives aren’t the simple talking point your side wants them to be so Jimmy was bang on with his monologue, NO APOLOGY needed or given.

Insid, none of your research has any relevance to my point.

In any event, I said I suspect Kimmel is less popular in heavily conservative, Christian markets. I didn't think it required research.

The fact Tyler Robinson is a left-winger is really getting to you, isn't it?? 😀
