Maybe the next one. This is crazy. I'm going to play with my dog now. She makes more sense than most humans.

ABC Pulls Jimmy Kimmel Live

Nothing. At least nothing different than what has. We’ve seen the double standard on full display.
Half the population is going to hate whatever happens. And the chances are high Kimmel gets a buyout after a prolonged limbo because now Disney has been boxed in. They throw him out now, and the PR damage — and the damage to the Disney and ABC brands — gets irreparable on the left. They wait for him to make a move because they don't want to be seen as throwing him out and this continues to fester for potentially weeks on end.
We're rapidly approaching a point where this simply cannot be fixed.
A lie is a hoax. Good Bye genius.
I don't think those two are mutually exclusive.
It wasn't a lie. People are doing exactly what he said they'd do. The right is trying to score political points. Since they hold all the cards, they're winning.
Not remotely, and there was no lie. Maybe the dog can explain it.
Signs this is spiraling completely out of control: the Associated Press now has a live feed of the ongoing protests outside ABC's west coast HQ.
Again, the longer this just festers, the more this risks becoming irreparable for Disney.

Some MAGA types have screamed at me that "it was the market!" Uh, sure, every network that's cancelling a show abruptly cancels it when people are lining up for the taping of that night's show. Happens all the time. That's why we have the Lost Episode of Hello, Larry. (sarcasm font activated)That is not the same thing as "it is canceled." It may end up being canceled. I'd even agree that it's the likeliest outcome. It has not happened yet.
I dunno. Apparently there are more than 75 that were outright cancelled and then returned:

But you still have no actual proof that Jimmy Kimmel Live, specifically was losing ABC money. None of us do. You may think that. But---as you yourself have said in correcting posters on this board many times over the years---don't turn an opinion you can't back up into a blanket statement of fact.
Really? It looks like a story with several sources all on background.
The only way Kimmel could be obviously and clearly saying that would be for him to say it. He did not. That's your interpretation. And you're the guy who said that Colbert's Emmy speech about how much he loves his country was "loaded with snark", so there we are.
This what you're referring to?
‘F–king livid’ Jimmy Kimmel, sidekick Guillermo Rodriguez spotted leaving LA studio after ABC yanks ‘Live!’ from air
The duo, spotted leaving the studio separately, appeared visibly downcast after news broke that ABC had pulled the program from the air.nypost.com
I am assured there is nothing to see here. Nothing at all.
The Five couldn't be shut down by the FCC, even if they were talking about arresting people who voted for the dem....oh wait
Stephen Miller getting a cell ready for ANTIFA! Anybody getting served a crap-ton of Disney ads on Facebook and elsewhere online suddenly
Because the government is determined to prosecute a trans leftist. Period. No matter what the facts are.
They already went with "he was radicalized in college" with Fox News doing a segment on "woke colleges" and how they need shut down. Never mind it was a semester in engineering school.
When your company is getting lectured by a previous CEO who himself had his tenure end in an impossibly awful way, you're in trouble.
You're right, my apologies. I should have worded that much more carefully ... like:
"Which explains why proper purveyors of facts have always worked live when dealing with fast-developing, tetchy events ... so they wouldn't end up like Harris K. Telemacher, or perhaps, Jimmy Kimmel."
To do otherwise is Russian roulette.
(Maybe the reference to Harris K. Telemacher was too obscure. He was a weatherman character in the film L..A. Story who prerecorded his local 6 o'clock news forecast for fair, sunny weather. The next scene was L.A. under a gigantic freak flash flood rainstorm. The scene following that was the dripping wet station owner firing him for getting his boat capsized.)
Lisa Simpson would have a fit. That woman appears to be the real life Malibu Stacy.
He might have meant this one:This what you're referring to?

Jimmy Kimmel reportedly ‘f–king livid’ over ABC pulling ‘Live!’ — as Trump cheers ‘great news for America’
Kimmel faced backlash after he said Monday night that the “MAGA gang” was trying to score political points off Kirk’s murder after the right-wing influencer was shot dead on the campus of Utah Vall…

Relevant portion:
“Absolutely f–king livid,” one producer told the outlet about how Kimmel took the news, adding that the “pissed” late-night host is meeting with the network. [...] Sources told the outlet that the network’s decision is the “last straw” for Kimmel, who is now “actively looking” to break out of his contract and end his relationship with ABC. “Jimmy is pissed over the decision to suspend him and the show and he isn’t going to take this lightly, as he is actively looking for ways to get out of his contract,” the source said, with another insisting they’ve “never seen Kimmel this angry.”
The article isn't clear if the producer who said he's livid is among the sources who said he doesn't even want to go back, but...
But Kimmel isn’t a news show. He stated what had absolutely happened in the preceding days.
Google is your friend. Lead Belly was warning his fellow African-Americans to be aware of what the white man (especially he who wears a badge) could do to them if they give him even the flimsiest reason to be suspicious.
What Are the Origins of the Term 'Stay Woke'?
The phrase was used in a 1938 recording by Black folk singer Lead Belly.
