To keep it very simple, he and other night show comedians went from being comedy to just simply regularly lecturing others on their show with regard to politics. So he's often seen more like a political commentator more than an actual comedian. He's not beholden to any kind of journalistic standard and if he were on "your team", that's how one would prefer it. It's the furthest from any political platform (their party is generally untouched for any of the crazier things said) and his only limits are whatever his employer will actually tolerate.

58 Democrats voted against it. Insane.

Can you explain what you mean by that?

How does the stats tie in with that statement?

Utter chaos breaks out backstage at The View over Jimmy Kimmel: Hosts at war and staff in fear... as network bosses impose strict new 'rule'
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz...-abc-rule.html

Panic has set in behind the scenes at The View amid Jimmy Kimmel's suspension at ABC, with insiders claiming that hosts are at loggerheads and staff are concerned about censorship - and the future of their jobs.

It comes as FCC chair Brendan Carr, whose threats to revoke ABC affiliate licenses led to Kimmel's show being pulled off air, said this afternoon that The View could be next.

Earlier today, presenters Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, Sunny Hostin, Sara Haines, and Alyssa Farah Griffin made no reference to their network's decision to pull Jimmy Kimmel Live! 'indefinitely' over his comments about the assassination of Charlie Kirk.

Instead, the women focused their attention on the Epstein files investigation and ousted CDC Director Susan Monarez's testimony about RFK Jr, much to the frustration of viewers who speculated they had been giving 'marching orders' from above.

Production sources have since broken their silence to describe the alleged pandemonium on set.

One insider claimed to the Daily Mail that the hosts are in disagreement over how to handle the network's scandal, as some want to speak out but also don't want to risk getting canceled themselves.

Spoiler:

Another has claimed that staffers are concerned about censorship and having to bow to particular demands to keep bosses, and the Trump administration, happy.

'There's definitely a difficult dynamic going on,' one source told Daily Mail.

The View hosts and crew are panicking behind the scenes amid the Jimmy Kimmel fallout, sources tell Daily Mail

ABC pulled Jimmy Kimmel Live! 'indefinitely' on Wednesday night over his comments about the assassination of Charlie Kirk

'The View is not going to discuss Jimmy Kimmel's suspension because they're at the same network. They're not going to trash their own.

'It's a general rule at ABC not to trash other shows.'

Sinclair Inc., whose local stations pay to run ABC's Jimmy Kimmel Live!, said on Wednesday night that it will refrain from broadcasting Kimmel's show indefinitely.

The move came after Carr, chair of broadcast regulator, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), threatened to act against ABC and its parent company Disney over Kimmel's comments.

'ABC as a whole is being attacked - not just The View,' the source continued. 'The FCC is coming for all of them.

'There's panic across the board, but obviously with more politically based shows than the entertainment ones.

'Sinclair made it nearly impossible for Jimmy Kimmel to return because they're asking for him to make donations, public apologies - all these things that they know he won't do.

'They're pushing him into a space where the show is over.'

The View, which is also an ABC show, made no mention to Kimmel's suspension during Thursday's live broadcast

Sources tell Daily Mail that staff at The View are scared for their jobs

They continued: 'Behind the scenes, staff are scared for their jobs. It's a scary time. They're really concerned. People are holding their breath.

'Those who work in the media industry have been in fear for a while now, but last night's news, you can say it has heightened their fear.

'Some shows used to be without censorship, but now after Kimmel's suspension, they're going to have to be extra careful about what they say on national TV.'

Another production staffer is so worried about the future of the network that they have already packed up their personal belongings.

'People are worried,' they told Daily Mail.

'I'm taking a lot of my personal stuff home tonight because who knows what's going to happen and I want to be able to make a quick exit if I need to. Grab my coat and go.'

A third production source claimed The View panel do not want to rock the boat by speaking out on Kimmel.

Instead, they allege that the hosts want to stay out of the drama and not give the network a reason to suspend them too.

Speaking to Daily Mail, the source said: 'The women of The View are more surprised that they haven't been taken off the air already.

According to one insider, Jimmy is upset with the ordeal and has declared ABC 'dead' to him

Charlie Kirk was assassinated last week while addressing an audience on the campus of Utah Valley University

'There was a very big assumption to let it be and not make a big deal out of it since this is all happening in their backyard, so to speak.

'The women already get themselves in hot water over everything else they say, so they aren't looking to invite more drama into the show with the low-hanging fruit of Jimmy Kimmel.

'Some are going to be on his side, some aren't, but if they talk about it, that will give ABC another reason to suspend them as well.

'The panelists at The View want to see where all of this goes before they make mention of it, because they don't want to be locked in the crosshairs of it all.

'They chose to avoid the controversy for their wellbeing, and they will all see where everything stands next week when the dust settles. Nobody is looking to fight the system just yet.'

Kimmel's suspension comes after comments he made about Donald Trump and the late right-wing activist Kirk during Monday's episode.

During the controversial episode, he said: 'The MAGA Gang are 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.'

The late-night host also poked fun at President Donald Trump's reaction to the shooting.

'This is not how an adult grieves the murder of someone he calls a friend,' he said. 'This is how a four-year-old mourns a goldfish.'

Shortly after ABC announced Kimmel had been suspended on Wednesday night, Trump said: 'The ratings challenged Jimmy Kimmel Show is CANCELLED.

'Congratulations to ABC for finally having the courage to do what had to be done.'

Today, the president sensationally claimed that Kimmel was taken off the air 'for lack of talent.'

Earlier, it was reported that Kimmel won't be allowed back on air by Sinclair unless he makes a donation to Turning Point USA, the nonprofit organization founded by Kirk that advocates for conservative politics on high school, college, and university campuses.

According to one source, however, Kimmel has no desire to write a check.

President Donald Trump celebrated the abrupt cancelation of Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Wednesday night with a blistering Truth Social post that cheered the end of the ABC show

He also called for two of Kimmel's network rivals, Jimmy Fallon and Seth Meyers to be fired.

'If Jimmy apologizes and gives any money to Turning Point USA it will be a complete defeat for Jimmy and those close to him,' they said.

'He has no urge to do that at all. He is going to continue to fight. He feels terrible for the people that work on his show because he will be OK at the end of the day; they might not if they lose their job though.

'But as of right now, and for the foreseeable future, if he never returned to ABC, he would be absolutely OK with that.'

According to the insider, Jimmy is upset with the whole ordeal, and would only return to 'see the people who work for him be OK'.

'ABC right now is completely dead to Jimmy,' they continued. 'For everything he has done for ABC, to host the Oscars and champion the company for years to get here is the biggest slap in the face of his entire life and career.

'He wants to go elsewhere and is actively looking to get out of his contract,' the source said.

Celebrities across the country have voiced their fury over the controversial move, with many concerned about what it means for freedom of speech.

On this morning's episode of the Today show, Hollywood actor Jason Bateman predicted that a reckoning could be on the horizon.

'Well, it's troubling to say the least,' the A-list star said. 'And we all have to really take a moment and figure how we feel about this type of thing.

'Especially, people doing what you do.

'I'm sure there's going to be some sort of collective move to respond to this, but I'm not smart enough or powerful enough to be the one to do it but I imagine there's plenty of conversations going on to do something, because you just can't stand by and let stuff like that go on.'

I’m sure you can figure out what I mean if you think about it. If you can’t then not sure what to say.

Some speculation being made (if you're interested in that) that Kimmel's writing staff possibly had leaked that he intended to double down as they were looking for a way out for themselves so they can still get employment. The leaking of that is what caused Disney to act and pull his show:

It's a very interesting and I think a very possible take. The unions will organize protests in a big deal to make them all seem unified (in principle), but those kinds of things are more likely just to recruit new members. There are more than a few people people "on staff" I'm sure that are more concerned about their own ability to find work... especially in a competitive industry like Hollywood.

This is getting further and further then being just about Kirk, imo, and more about Hollywood imploding on itself, but yeah...

While this on the surface looks in poor taste, I think that's an oversimplification of the situation. Every single Democrat's reaction has been sympathy of CK and his family, and of public condemnation of political violence.

However, a resolution denouncing political violence AND honouring a man who made a career out of it. Has this been just a resolution condemning the violence, the vote would be very very different. The majority of the democrats were POC - how can you expect black men and women to vote to honour a man who said what he said about their community.

Part of the resolution stated "he worked tirelessly to promote unity without compromising on conviction". That is horseshit. He worked in favour of white republican straight men, and women who were in the place he expected them to be.

As an example of how I don't understand.

You mentioned mothers killed by their sons as a high example. I was aware of that as it had just been released as a headline a day before you posted it. I remembered seeing it pop up at work on my phone and thinking, oh, that will be juicy on TIBB.


You used that statistic in a back and forth, left this, right this, thread.


What I don't understand is what that had to do with the argument at the time.

In my head, im thinking you are trying to somehow link that stat in with right wing people being more violent.


Thats Why I needed more explanation.


I have other questions as well, but if you could maybe clear that one up first, and we could take it from there.

It was in the Free Speech Rally thread in reply to Livia who, in the middle of a discussion about the threat of men to women, decided to bring up trans people (again) suggesting the "trans loving, woman hating gay men" don't actually care about women. She did this because she believes we can't care about women because we support trans women as in her opinion, trans women are a huge threat to non-trans women.

The stat you have mentioned was amongst other stats to remind people that woman are at risk from largely men then know and/or cis, straight men - this was illustrated by the various stats which were either relating to women being killed or attacked by partners, ex's or family, or stats that showed almost half the men who were arrested for protesting migrants last year had prior due to domestic violence.

My post aimed to highlight that women, by and large, are at a much, much, much great risk from their partners who often fall into the demographic on said march as evidenced by the domestic violence statistic, and not from trans women as Livia was (once again, and falsely) suggesting.

The mothers/sons stat was not being used to link any political party, no.

No one banned Jimmy Kimmel from every major social media app.
That happened to Trump.

No one conspired to put Jimmy Kimmel in jail.
That happened to Trump.

No one fired a bullet at Jimmy Kimmel.
That happened to Trump.
And Charlie.

What happened to Kimmel is that his corporate employer decided he was no longer a profitable figurehead for its product distributed over the public airwaves.

That's it.
