Let's examine this. The Internet is killing TV. Anyone can put a show on Youtube and with a small budget. Meanwhile, network TV shows like Colbert and Kimmel employ something like 200 people. Colbert's show was losing $40 million a year. Colbert was making $15 million a year. So even if Colbert was doing the show for free, the show would still be losing $25 million per year. And Colbert's show is ball park like Kimmel's. All these shows are similar.

So Kimmel's show must have been losing a bundle. And CBS caught hell for canning Colbert's show. And it makes sense that ABC wants to can Kimmel's show because it's losing a bundle. So what's a good way to do it? Wait until Kimmel says something inflammatory and then say you're taking Kimmel off the air for saying it because you're afraid of Trump. It takes the blame off of you that way. And plus, you stop losing a bundle.

If they continue Kimmel's show but with a new host then my theory will be disproved. But if they simply put a new show on in place of Kimmel's show then it will be evidence that they didn't get rid of Kimmel for saying what he said. (And plus, Kimmel's been saying inflammatory things for a long time so if ABC wanted to get rid of him for saying inflammatory things they'd have done it a long time ago.)

You had woke execs running cbs. If you cared about making money for your stock holders, this crap with Colbert and Kimmel would have stopped. No business could survive losing 40 mill for many years without help from woke management.

It's not what he said though classless. It's why he's been saying it.

You should be happy...I don't really care one way or the other.
I have NEVER watched any of the late night shows after Carson and Leno left.
I have seen the hate filled clips of the shows of Kimmel and Colbert...If you enjoy that stuff carry on, you have every right.
It's a victory for free speech even if temporary. I can't stay awake that late. No hate, they just make fun of our dictator with good reason.

Like pulling up old threads of them celebrating people getting censored on the right. I already posted some of hypocrisy they were spouting back then. I haven't even covered other extreme and illegal tactics they were using.

Trump didn't censor Kimmel. He has an employer. His employer has an audience. They will decide his fate. If people want to call his employer and complain. They are exercising their rights too.

They won't and you and I both know why.

Because his district is full of Islamic Radical Socialist and other Anti Americans turds that support him because he attended a Communist Black Baptist Church growing up that hates America too?





The Soviet Union infiltrated in the 1960's.


CURRENT COMMUNIST GOALS

1. U.S. acceptance of coexistence as the only alternative to atomic war.

2. U.S. willingness to capitulate in preference to engaging in atomic war.

3. Develop the illusion that total disarmament [by] the United States would be a demonstration of moral strength.

4. Permit free trade between all nations regardless of Communist affiliation and regardless of whether or not items could be used for war.

5. Extension of long-term loans to Russia and Soviet satellites.

6. Provide American aid to all nations regardless of Communist domination.

7. Grant recognition of Red China. Admission of Red China to the U.N.

8. Set up East and West Germany as separate states in spite of Khrushchev's promise in 1955 to settle the German question by free elections under supervision of the U.N.

9. Prolong the conferences to ban atomic tests because the United States has agreed to suspend tests as long as negotiations are in progress.

10. Allow all Soviet satellites individual representation in the U.N.

11. Promote the U.N. as the only hope for mankind. If its charter is rewritten, demand that it be set up as a one-world government with its own independent armed forces. (Some Communist leaders believe the world can be taken over as easily by the U.N. as by Moscow. Sometimes these two centers compete with each other as they are now doing in the Congo.)

12. Resist any attempt to outlaw the Communist Party.

13. Do away with all loyalty oaths.

14. Continue giving Russia access to the U.S. Patent Office.

15. Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States.

16. Use technical decisions of the courts to weaken basic American institutions by claiming their activities violate civil rights.

17. Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers' associations. Put the party line in textbooks.

18. Gain control of all student newspapers.

19. Use student riots to foment public protests against programs or organizations which are under Communist attack.

20. Infiltrate the press. Get control of book-review assignments, editorial writing, policymaking positions.

21. Gain control of key positions in radio, TV, and motion pictures.

22. Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all forms of artistic expression. An American Communist cell was told to "eliminate all good sculpture from parks and buildings, substitute shapeless, awkward and meaningless forms."

23. Control art critics and directors of art museums. "Our plan is to promote ugliness, repulsive, meaningless art."

24. Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them "censorship" and a violation of free speech and free press.

25. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV.

26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as "normal, natural, healthy."

27. Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with "social" religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity which does not need a "religious crutch."

28. Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the ground that it violates the principle of "separation of church and state."

29. Discredit the American Constitution by calling it inadequate, old-fashioned, out of step with modern needs, a hindrance to cooperation between nations on a worldwide basis.

30. Discredit the American Founding Fathers. Present them as selfish aristocrats who had no concern for the "common man."

31. Belittle all forms of American culture and discourage the teaching of American history on the ground that it was only a minor part of the "big picture." Give more emphasis to Russian history since the Communists took over.

32. Support any socialist movement to give centralized control over any part of the culture--education, social agencies, welfare programs, mental health clinics, etc.

33. Eliminate all laws or procedures which interfere with the operation of the Communist apparatus.

34. Eliminate the House Committee on Un-American Activities.

35. Discredit and eventually dismantle the FBI.

36. Infiltrate and gain control of more unions.

37. Infiltrate and gain control of big business.

38. Transfer some of the powers of arrest from the police to social agencies. Treat all behavioral problems as psychiatric disorders which no one but psychiatrists can understand [or treat].

39. Dominate the psychiatric profession and use mental health laws as a means of gaining coercive control over those who oppose Communist goals.

40. Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce.

41. Emphasize the need to raise children away from the negative influence of parents. Attribute prejudices, mental blocks and retarding of children to suppressive influence of parents.

42. Create the impression that violence and insurrection are legitimate aspects of the American tradition; that students and special-interest groups should rise up and use ["]united force["] to solve economic, political or social problems.

43. Overthrow all colonial governments before native populations are ready for self-government.

44. Internationalize the Panama Canal.

45. Repeal the Connally reservation so the United States cannot prevent the World Court from seizing jurisdiction [over domestic problems. Give the World Court jurisdiction] over nations and individuals alike.

MAJOR BREAKING: Sinclair Broadcast Group, who owns **31** ABC stations, just announced they will REFUSE to broadcast Jimmy Kimmel’s show when ABC puts him back on air THANK YOU
@WeAreSinclair
! NEXSTAR (
@NXSTMediaGroup
) MUST DO THE SAME! Sinclair has MAJOR concerns about the show, and won’t bring Kimmel back until changes are made, the company said. “Tuesday night, Sinclair will be preempting 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' across our ABC affiliate stations and replacing it with news programming. Discussions with ABC are ongoing as we evaluate the show's potential return.”

BREAKING: Nexstar, the largest ABC affiliate group, is REFUSING to air Jimmy Kimmel on their networks That means over SIXTY ABC stations will NOT be airing Kimmel, as Sinclair has declined to bring him back as well. “We made a decision last week to preempt "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" following what ABC referred to as Mr. Kimmel's "ill-timed and insensitive" comments at a critical time in our national discourse. We stand by that decision pending assurance that all parties are committed to fostering an environment of respectful, constructive dialogue in the markets we serve. In the meantime, we note that "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" will be available nationwide on multiple Disney-owned streaming products, while our stations will focus on continuing to produce local news and other programming relevant to their respective markets."

Only 45 minutes until Jimmy Kimmel's big return, which they're hyping like crazy to get viewers but which I won't watch because I never watch his show, assuming it is even on where I live, which it may not be since some distributors have said they won't show it.

I read that before Disney re-instated Kimmel some people were saying they were going to boycott Disney for taking Kimmel. Okay, so Disney business in China and enabling slavery there is fine but Disney taking a show off the air that is losing money out the rear end is not okay. Got it.
