What stupid thing did the GOP say or do this time? Episode 3!

[Ultra Magnus13]

So he goes from far right to far left in the span of three days?

All officially released stuff always pointed to the left. Twitter just had people on both sides desperately scrambling for the bad guy to belong to the other side.

Jimmy Kimmel Live was just pulled from ABC indefinitely due to Kimmel insinuating that MAGA was using Kirk as a martyr.

Freedom of speech is dead.

 

[Wheelimus]

Watch Colbert instead in protest as long as you can.

I don’t have much hope that he will remain on the air for the remainder of his contract.

Hence why "while you can" was a key word. After that we'll all rally with the Tonight Show. Not like there will be anything else to watch.

Eh, it'd be better to do that with Late Night with Seth Meyers. Fallon would bend the knee a lot sooner.

 

[Axaday]

Is that really meant as humor? I didn't read all the way down, but the reaction I was feeling wasn't funny.

 

[Pocket]

Didn't Fallon already bend the knee a long time ago? I seem to recall one of two late-night Jimmys being raked over the coals during Trump's first term for being too uncritical.

Also Colbert needs to freaking run for office the second his show is off the air. We need a new Al Franken already.

 

[wonko the sane?]

Kimmel needs to sue ABC over this, and refuse the settlement. Make them say in open court WHY they canceled him.

 

[Corvus]

So, where are all those Republican free-speech advocates? I'm sure they'll be up in arms any minute now.

Aaaaany minute now...

KAMLAGER-DOVE: Dylan Roof, who followed white supremacist propaganda, murdered 9 Black parishioners in 2015. Do you deny this? PATEL: I'm sorry. Dylan Roof? Can you give me more information? KAMLAGER-DOVE: You're head of the FBI

Wait, so it's Nexstar that owns Jimmy Kimmel Live, not Disney?

 

[Ungnome]

Nextar owns a LOT of tv stations across the country, I'd imagine that includes quite a few ABC affiliates. Just more proof we've allowed too much centralization in our media.
