Kimmel's a shitty hack but this is a disgraceful move and it's just further evidence of the gallop to expand executive power and make the state more authoritarian. I have a feeling this may blow back on them though; the hypocrisy is too glaring. https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2025/sep/18/jimmy-kimmel-live-suspended-indefinitely-after-hosts-charlie-kirk-comments Andrew Alford, the president of Nexstar’s broadcasting division, called Kimmel’s comments “offensive and insensitive at a critical time in our national political discourse”. “Continuing to give Mr Kimmel a broadcast platform in the communities we serve is simply not in the public interest at the current time, and we have made the difficult decision to preempt his show in an effort to let cooler heads prevail as we move toward the resumption of respectful, constructive dialogue,” Alford said. Has he heard the fucking president and all the rest of his fuck-witted goon squad lately? Cooler heads? Insensitive? Get to fuck.
