Jimmy Kimmel pulled from the air over false comment about Kirk murder

[RichardHurt]

No, this is a lesson in basic economics .... a failing TV show that was losing tens of millions of dollars a year and was tanking in the ratings had it's "star" lie and alienate half the country, so the bosses pulled the plug on a loser show.   MONEY.   ECONOMICS.

I think that anyone that supports Trump should probably shut the fuck up when it comes to anything related to the economy.

Do people still listen to celebrities and do what the mooovee stars tell them to do?

Kamala Harris paid millions out to celebrities to go on stage and say 'vote for Kamala'.
Cardi B ... went on stage and shook her ass and said 'vote Kamala' in her best ghetto accent.
That is what motivates the left wing to vote for their politicians.   
For the right wing it's who has the biggest guns and brightest flag.

Cuz the stock market is at record high and the inflation is well under control and about 6 points lower than when Biden was in .... yeah .... sure ... they should shut up.   pffffft.

@ANNEE - "Media analyst James Nadler says Kimmel's suspension is reminiscent of the McCarthy era of the 1950s, when networks blacklisted certain voices in Hollywood due to government pressure." (You are right, it's been going on since the beginning, but this era allows boycotts to send a message they can't ignore.)

Yes the Blacklist ruined careers.

But the 50s followed the war. When the government said Jump -- you Jumped.

There was major patriotism (kinda like reaction to 911).

The "Good Old Days" is selective memory.

My statement stands.  I'll repeat it.   Read up and learn.   The cancellation had nothing to do with free speech, it was about MONEY.   If the show had good ratings and was making money, Disney wouldn't have given a rats backend that the idiot Kimmel LIED and that he's part of the problem in t his country.   But no ... his ratings are tanking and he loses tens of millions of dollars every year.  The fact that the moron blatantly and brazenly LIED to everyone is just a secondary issue.

MONEY MONEY MONEY.    Get it ??

So now the Leftists are trying to destroy Leftist Disney?

Sounds about right.

I'll let you in on a secret. The stock market is no longer a strong indicator of how well a single country is doing. It's a indication of how well a company is doing.
And inflation has been going down since 2022 when it hit a decades long peak.
Do you see prices coming down?
Do you see record numbers of job creation?
How about housing prices?
Don't talk to me about economic growth when you clearly know nothing about it.

When a company caves in to a crisis based action plan stemming from a technocratic administration, you fucking damn straight bro.
When you realize how south this administration is willing to go just to keep power then you may have a change of heart.

Coming from someone that supported canceling Disney in the first place is rich.

I'll let you in on a secret ... what I said about shutting down Kimmel over money is true.   Your attempt to deflect to the economy and to tell people to shut up doesn't fly.   My statement stands ....   Kimmels show was tanking.  The ratings suck.   He was losing tens of millions of dollars a year.    He got caught telling LIES and he was doubling down on them thus further alienating half the country.  He was a liability so he got CANNED.  It's his own fault.

It's all about the money.  If he was making money and had good ratings, Disney woudln't have cancelled him.

Oh ... and I'm not a Trump supporter ... so your statement that Trump supporters should just shut up about economic things doesn't apply to me.   Epic failure on your part.
