In the wake of Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night show being pulled, the Sinclair Broadcast Group released a statement demanding that he apologize to Charlie Kirk’s family and make a personal donation.
Full story below…
In the statement, Jason Smith, Vice Chairman, called out Kimmel for his comments implying Kirk’s killer was part of MAGA. He said:
“Mr. Kimmel’s remarks were inappropriate and deeply insensitive at a critical moment for our country. We believe broadcasters have a responsibility to educate and elevate respectful, constructive dialogue in our communities. We appreciate FCC Chairman Carr’s remarks today and this incident highlights the critical need for the FCC to take immediate regulatory action to address control held over local broadcasters by the big national networks.”
It was made clear that Jimmy Kimmel Live! will not return “until we are confident that appropriate steps have been taken to uphold the standards expected of a national broadcast platform.”
The company encouraged Kimmel to issue a direct apology to the family, as well as make a personal donation to both the family and Kirk’s organization, Turning Point USA.
In the meantime, Jimmy Kimmel Live!’s timeslot will be replaced with a remembrance special honoring the Turning Point USA founder on Friday, September 19.
This news follows the cancellation of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, which was also seen as a political move to appease the FCC.
With that, what are…
Yesss roast this loser! 💅🏼 when Jesus said yess nobody can’t say no. Jesus let Trump lives so y’all haters deal with it. If you don’t like it, then GTFO my country! #MAGA 🇺🇸
The left invented cancel culture, time to take responsibility for your actions and propaganda.
Next time don’t use your platform to divide.
100% agreed! Yep! What goes around comes around… left love spreading hatred message to people who don’t agree with them. People can have different opinions and views so they can’t force people to agree with them. If people disagree then they taken actions, like cancel culture, woke movement, violence protest and murdering our people. They are reason why US is so divide now.
They are the worst after the mslmnazis
Good! As he should!
The way some of these commentators are okay with the weaponization of different sectors is insane. Yall will even turn away god in today’s world. Comedy.
