Jimmy Kimmel

This is so incredible, how can anyone still say that the trump administration is protecting the freedom of speech? one of the most popular late night hosts in the usa is getting thrown of the air because he said something the government didnt like. He didnt say anything illegal. Of course there are some things that should be censored, but how did jimmy kimmel deserve this, he hasnt done anything illegal.

One of the most popular, his reignings were in the toilet.He had an average of one point one million viewers in a country of three hundred thirty million.

Think about this, not even three percent of california watched him

@dale74 you dont know how popularity in his bussines works dont you

dale74 · M

@Firewarrior jay leno's ratings were over 14+ million per night.His are 1.1million

@dale74 jimmy kimmel is one of the most watched late night shows

dale74 · M

@Firewarrior no, he is not.You need to compare him with other late night.Show hosts like jay leno, who had more than ten times the audience.He did, and there wasn't even as large of a population at that time.When jay leno went off the air.U.S population was only around 310 million.

Did you watch him every night.

@dale74 jay leno isnt kn rhe air anymore

dale74 · M

@MethDozer i know, but you must compare night.Talk show with night talk shows and he doesn't even come up to his ankles.
Admit itHe was already washed up.This was just a great reason to go ahead.And get rid of him. How many nights a week did you even watch him?If you even watched him.

And the reason he's only ten percent of jay leno's ratings is because he's not funny

MethDozer · M

@dale74 You have to compair it to current ratings. All ratings are down. He's the top of the current crop who are all down. Cant compair today to Letterman and Leno.

The problem with his firing isn't that a company fired him. It's that the company that fired him did so under threats by Trump's head of the FCC. That's alarming as hell.

@dale74 they pulled him because the head of the FCC threatened them and any affiliate if theh didn't. They were coerced to suspend him by threat.

Even Ted Cruz is alarmed by this ffs

@MethDozer why don't you go read the FCC statement, because it doesn't actually say that it says burning misinformation can cause you to lose a license, especially when you know it is misinformation.When you repeat it.

But then again, you've had no problem.When conservatives are removed from the air, I don't think you ever protested roseanne barr or tim allen.

@dale74 were they targeted by a government agency? Apples to oranges.

And yes, yes I would have called foul if they were targeted by a government agency vs. just public reaction.
