Not The First To Notice

Jimmy Kimmel is still free to say anything he wants.

Charlie Kirk is not.

There's a significant difference you mouth breathing morons!

Jimmy Kimmel is not being kept from saying anything he wants because he was fired.  Being unemployed doesn't stop you from talking.

What he forgot was while he was an employee of ABC, he was not allowed to use their soapbox to promote his own speech unless it coincided with what ABC wanted to say.

Until he said what he said about the Charlie Kirk murderer, ABC was OK with what he had to say because it didn't affect the bottom line.

After he said it, though, Kimmel became a liability with ABC affiliates refusing to air his show.

Advertisers don't pay unless a show plays, so...

Even then, he was offered a chance to apologize and continue his show.  He vociferously declined this opportunity.  Even after being told that if he didn't say he was sorry he'd be fired.

But the speed with which the decision was made makes me wonder if Mr Kimmel was already wearing his welcome thin at corporate.

ALSO!

Mr O'Brien, he wasn't fired for criticizing the administration.  He was fired for saying bullshit lies about whose tribe Kirk's murderer belonged to.  Maybe you should get your resume in order, because I'll bet people are sending messages to your sponsors right now.

    Jimmy Kimmel's ratings have been going down like a rock, or so I am informed. Even if he'd kept his big fat biscuit trap shut about Charlie Kirk, or confined himself to expressing condolences to his widow and children (you know, like a decent person---i.e., not a liberal---would do) he'd have been on thin ice at ABC. I despise the SOB and am not sorry he's gone. I took against him when his damn ol' show pushed ABC Nightline, which I've watched devotedly since it was about the Iran hostage crisis, back an hour, and when he went out of his way to bully that dentist who shot "Cecil the beloved lion" that cinched it for me.

    Unfortunately, it looks like he'll be back. The execs at ABC have backbones made of pure chocolate eclair.
