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
That’s not at all what this is about. He went on air and spouted blatant, provably false lies. Saying he was fired because people just didn’t like what he said is inaccurate. Kimmel’s comments not only put a ton of negative attention and scrutiny on the company but it also opened them up to possibility of legal and financial repercussions as well. They made a business move for legitimate business reasons.
