And it's from the guys who were opposed to "cancel culture" five years ago when it was about sexual exploitation and violence against women and minorities.

Irony is dead.
How much is they just cancel the show outright instead of waiting until May?

That's a decision Disney needs to make. Maybe the Mouse grows balls, maybe not.

I am not going to do your work for you. So search on this topic and you will find that there are surveys done by the most established and reputable survey companies that show considerable tolerance or outright acceptance of such actions.
Do your own search on "survey showing approval for killing of United Health Care CEO" in Google AI and you will get multiple surveys all showing considerable approval for socially justified murder.
"Four in 10 young people believe the assassination of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson was "acceptable," according to an Emerson College poll." (Four in 10 young people say Brian Thompson killing was ac...)
"The Hill" says this "A poll found 41 percent of adults under 30 consider the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson acceptable, more than the 40 percent in that demographic who consider it unacceptable."
Of course, much of the supposed OTA network programming is almost instantly available on Hulu, Peacock or Paramount+ for those who have those services. I don't know how accessible the ABC, CBS and NBC "Night Show" content is elsewhere as I never looked for it.
Thanks for finding that data. I am sure this particular monologue has been copied and reposted, so it will get tens of millions of views by people who want to form their own opinions.
Analyst: Network Late-Night Talk Shows Became Unprofitable in 2023 (Updated) - LateNighter
Are we to really believe CBS when it says 'The Late Show' is losing $40 million a year? We asked a network TV research analyst familiar with the financial realities of late-night television from the inside (at networks other than CBS) whether that number rang true. Their answer was a qualified yes.latenighter.com
However, his nightly monologue clips get about 2 million views on YouTube.
But we know that "subscribers" is not the same as "regular users".
This one will likely get tens of millions of views, many from other sites that captured that particular moment and posted it.
The ratings have nothing to do with this. The popularity of the speaker has nothing to do with his freedom.
In the case of the killer, NOTHING has been proven yet. Charges have been made. Innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. Not the court of public opinion.
Personally I think Kimmel was wrong to make the comment. However, he said it Monday. Nothing happened until the FCC Chairman made his threat today. That's where the constitutional problem exists. It exists between Kimmel and the FCC. ABC is just following the government. But Kimmel is the one who has been damaged.

Which still means no one here said it was acceptable, either in this specific instance or more broadly. There are factions of people who have all kinds of opinions. In these, it is still clearly not the majority. And it has no bearing on the Kimmel issue.
Controlling the content is limited to FCC regulated broadcasting, thank goodness. With streaming, and the decline of broadcast television, opposing views are still out there. Bill Maher isn't going anywhere, and you can't control the Internet.
I don't even think he was wrong in saying it. The kid grew up MAGA, that's what Kimmel just meant.
Did they poll Tyler Robinson?
Charlie Kirk toured America for 13 years speaking in front of crowds of thousands upon thousands of young people.
Exactly ONE pointed a gun at him and pulled the trigger---Tyler Robinson.
During the 40 years that I was a Republican one of the things I thought we got right was the concept of personal responsibility. The crowd at Utah Valley University did not open fire.
One guy---Tyler Robinson---did.
If guns don't kill people, people kill people, then we need to straight up say that a generation or an ideology didn't kill Charlie Kirk. A person killed Charlie Kirk. And while we've learned a lot in the last seven days, we don't know yet what made him decide to do the worst, wrongest thing possible.
NY Post says Kimmel is (bleeping) livid and he "wants to end his relationship with ABC". Welp, sounds like Nightline follows your late local news now:

What makes anyone think the full weight of the government can’t be brought to bear against other companies? By nature of this forum, the focus may be on broadcast. But the extortion we’ve seen thus far and the threats of litigation and lawsuits extend far beyond the FCC’s purview.
Warner Brothers doesn't own FCC-licensed stations.
I don't blame the guy. The station pretty much allowed each opinion he ever had the past eight years, and one little "slip" (if you even call it that) makes him suspended. It's not like he said he was glad he was dead or anything close to that(like some online spaces people do.)NY Post says Kimmel is (bleeping) livid and he "wants to end his relationship with ABC".
