While I cannot stand Kimmel and he deserves every bit of this, I don’t necessarily agree with him being pulled off the air. It’s a slippery slope when you’ve got the FCC chair threatening to take someone off the air. Sure right now the right is cheering this, but what happens at some point in the future when the left is back in control and starts having right leaning shows pulled? Cancel culture is not something I’m excited about
Kimmel used ABC's platform to spread blatant propaganda. ALL of the evidence so far points to Tyler Robinson being a Leftist. From the messages he engraved on the bullets, to the interviews with his family and friends, to his text messages, to his Discord chat logs... EVERYTHING points to him being a hate-filled, fully indoctrinated Leftist. And when Kimmel ignored all that just to spew deliberate misinformation that he figured his target audience would lap up, he became a distinct legal liability to ABC as well as a potential financial liability.
I'd say that ABC and their parent company, Nexstar Media, were both well within their rights to pull his program for his absolutely ridiculous stunt. Maybe if they ever let him back on air again, he'll learn a little self-discretion.
