The MAGA Gang (is) 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.
As far as I've been able to find, that's all Kimmel said.

And it's 100% true
And it's not even "Charlie Kirk comments", it's "guy who shot Charlie Kirk comments".
He's not taken off the air for "Charlie Kirk comments", he's taken off the air for not licking enough fascist ass. But of course the poor NYT reporters cannot run that as a headline, or they'd suffer the same fate.
I just read a Canadian CBC article that quoted this:
"In between the finger-pointing, there was, uh, grieving," said Kimmel.
"On Friday, the White House flew the flags at half-staff, which got some criticism, but on a human level you can see how hard the president is taking this," he said, before cutting to a clip where Trump responded to reporters asking about how he was doing by pointing to construction going on at the White House. "This is how a four-year-old mourns a goldfish."
which is marginally worse, but again, marginally. And all the FCC chief pointed to was what you quoted.
Fuck if they think that's bad, they should have seen The Man Show.
But that had girls jumping on trampolines.
Juggies!
They would have liked that.
They should read my comments.
Single shot through the engine block!
Makes me wonder when John Oliver and Jon Stewart will be pulled.
Then all that's left will be SouthPark and I don't see that being renewed for next season either this way
South Park was renewed through 2030

Won't matter if Trump or his FCC say it must go it will be pulled. Strange it hasn't already.
South Park isn't broadcast and the FCC has far reduced powers on non-broadcast television.
Yeah well they are own by some corporation and if Trump wants to take them down he can and will. Have no doubts we now live under a dictatorship. They are ramping up fast too. Just think where we will be under the Trump regime in 2 years.
It is more identifying where the threat is going to come than anything else.
Title should call out "Disney-ABC", not just ABC. It's important to connect the dots how few outlets there are and how they are aligned. Christofacist will not be any stretch for Disney, and they have a king background in war propaganda films.
The abrupt decision by the network, which is owned by the Walt Disney Company, came hours after the chairman of the Federal Communications Commission, Brendan Carr, assailed Mr. Kimmel and suggested that his regulatory agency might take action against ABC because of remarks the host made on his Monday telecast.

on one hand that's all he said. on the other hand the host was kimmel. of all people
