Jimmy Kimmel Pulled “Indefinitely” By ABC After Over Charlie Kirk Comments (deadline.com)

Mocking Donald Trump as well, last night Kimmel said on his show: “We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it.”

I didn't watch any of the monologues tonight. I'm waiting for what Colbert and Meyers have to say on the Thursday show, and I'd not be entirely surprised if those are their last episodes, contract be damned.

The good news is, these people aren't going anywhere. Having worked in media, being scorned is a Wet Paint sign. Network TV is dead anyway, so they'll lose a bit of income from those deep pockets, but it's on them if they didn't save up enough over their runs.

We also have prior art for collaboration from Strike Force Five (insert thunder sound here). This situation sucks, but it's possible a phoenix rises from this bullshit censorship.
