Once again I will post something unpopular, one that makes my long-time readers ask what has happened to me. The answer is simple, I remain a small-L libertarian.
The thing is this, Jimmy Kimmel is a two-faced hypocrite, left-wing Democrat mouthpiece, and frankly, I doubt he is very smart*. I found his show insipid and unfunny. So I did not watch it.
I don’t need the FCC or the president to tell me Kimmel’s show wasn’t worth watching. If we are going to censor any program that distorts the truth or outright lies (Hello “The View”), then there won’t be much on TV. And there are plenty of shows that spread biased garbage on the conservative news networks.
You might argue it was the station owners that demanded Kimmel be removed. I suspect in a future administration it will be learned the White House made some calls and “strongly suggested”. You know, very similar to how Biden had Meta and Twitter shadow ban conservatives.
You might argue Kimmel was disseminating lies. Here’s the thing, if you are getting your news from Jimmy Kimmel, then you are so low that you are not even one of Rush’s low information voters. In fact those people likely don’t even vote.
A concrete block was just used to crush an ant.
*Apparently he was offered a chance to retract and apologize and refused. Not smart.
