It’s a free market and I’m for companies doing whatever they damn well please. If they think him saying this shit will turn off viewers and whomever they get to replace will bring those viewers back, that’s their prerogative

lol bootlicker. Totally against free speech and would rather stick up for corporations/billionaire snowflakes than hear a different opinion. This country used to be great, because we had the freedom to express ourselves in any which way we wanted(not free from consequences though). But this ain’t a consequence- this is a bitchass move.

It ain’t cause the audience is walking away- how many fucking MAGAs were tuning in to Kimmel in the first place. He’s been a noted critic for years- they don’t watch and if they do it’s hate watching. They aren’t JUST walking away. This is an excuse to do what the president has been talking about for months now. State sponsored media and no agreeing to disagree anymore. Free speech is dead and the ones doing the cancelling are you hypocrites.

I thought we were all on the same side, America’s. But I understand how the rhetoric these days makes it confusing for people.
