Quote from: The Only BLACK Kalmyks on September 18, 2025, 11:08:09 AMYou said Kimmel was fired "all because" he said Charlie was aligned with MAGA. This just isn't accurate love.

That summation kinda oversimplifies and unintentionally(?) dramatizes the situation.

He was fired for saying Charlie's killer is aligned with MAGA.

He was fired because of comments he made about Charlie's murder and those involved in it - not who Charlie was affiliated with when he was alive.

And yet you're in here talking about ratings which is not been proven anywhere

..
this makes no sense.

Ratings are measured and publicly reported

And I said they are likely a contributing factor, obviously in addition to comments that were made.

I never said I just got off the phone with an ABC head who told me the tea and sent me documents. I presented this as "my thoughts" and what I said wasn't unreasonable.

If you're a lil butthurt off of reporting inaccurate info just say that and be done with it. I'm not doing anymore tit for tat.

You saying they're "likely a contributing factor" is just your opinion though. That's not a fact. Yea, his ratings are down but late night as a whole is down.

But anyway. I'm not going to go back forth with you lol. You can have it.

At the end of the day censorship is real and everyone needs to wake up

klappa.

they claimed "ratings!" for colbert report as well. thing is, ratings have not had any sudden dramatic shift. late night BEEN struggling. most people are just bright enough to realize that these cancellations both came after something was said on the shows that trump didn't like. so yes, they're going to use the "oh ratings were so low" excuse but, again, most people are keen enough to see the blatant retaliation in both situations. especially when the president has literally declared open war on the media and is salivating at anything he can do to silence any adversarial platform. like...

to even be arguing "oh well the ratings were low too guys!" is so right-wing coded and WEIRD.

Yes - welcome to the difference between presenting a theory and providing supporting evidence to back said theory

And erroneously reporting something as fact and letting the girls run wild with it.

ill just say this:

i asked myself two questions when this update popped up on BSource

1) "Why would they fire him just for saying Charlie was aligned with something he was proud of? Doesn't make sense."

2) "Were the ratings falling? This seems like a pretty easy pull for ABC."

And both questions prompted me to do my own research. Based on my findings, my questions appear to be legitimate.
That's all.

I seriously doubt this is about ratings.

QuoteIn a statement, Nexstar said, "Nexstar's owned and partner television stations affiliated with the ABC Television Network will preempt Jimmy Kimmel Live! for the foreseeable future beginning with tonight's show.  Nexstar strongly objects to recent comments made by Mr. Kimmel concerning the killing of Charlie Kirk and will replace the show with other programming in its ABC-affiliated markets."...

Nexstar, the largest station group in the country, also has a major merger before the Trump administration, its proposed acquisition of Tegna, creating a mega-company with 265 stations in 44 states and the District of Columbia, representing 80% of U.S. TV households.  Nexstar also is a leading champion in the broadcast industry for the FCC to relax media ownership limits, something necessary to get its deal through regulatory approval. Nexstar owns 32 ABC affiliates out of a total of 200 stations.

They want their merge approved by the government. So they're kissing Trump's shitty ass.

I heard about this too.

And this theory kinda ties back to a lot of these "canceled!" decisions being business-driven at the end of the day.

Whether it's ratings or pending mergers, it's not a surprise that something involving MONEY was driving this seemingly easy decision, in addition to the controversy.

But it also speaks to Trump's influence and bully-ish tactics of him and his allies.

As I mentioned and spoke on several times in here, two things can be true at the same time. It doesn't always have to be one or the other.
