This is an example of how fighting fascist make you stronger.
Remember, don't comply in advance.
Disney did comply in advance.
Perhaps they could use this as proof that they don't need any of those Nexstar or Sinclair stations and remove their affiliate status.
If I were Iger and an actual patriot instead of being a billionaire scumbag, I'd start by removing all permission for NexStar & Sinclair to use any of Disney's content.
First time i have watched him. Had never really known who he was before.
I have it on good authority he’s f*cking Ben Affleck
Disney, which owns ABC, highlighted that the latest episode did not air in 23% of American households
This is even crazier.
Also, I hate how all the articles say his comments were about the Charlie Kirk assassination when they were actually about Trump.
I’m sure there is a correlation between the news sources saying that and the demographic who reads those articles living in a location that did not get the broadcast locally
One example of a local station that has continued to boycott Kimmel is Seattle....
Thanks trump, lol!
He's seething right now
It's tempting to imagine that, but I doubt he actually cares at all (or is even fully conscious of the discord). This is all distraction, and he's playing the agitator role to muddy the waters around his real scandals. Newspapers are a relic of a bygone time, but it's still true that journalists only have so many column inches. The human capacity to care about many things at once is limited, and Trump is really good at creating reasons to be pissed off.
He cares. He cares a lot. Ratings and perceived popularity have always been incredibly important to him, like he's a mean girl in high school or something. He really is that small-minded and petty. Comes with the territory for fascist Dear Leaders.
I know what you're saying, but his post didnt seem very happy either lol.
Sure, but imagine I'm right, and he's just trying to stir shit up. Wouldn't he write exactly the same thing? Like if he was actually upset, he's going to pretend like he doesn't care. Like with the Epstein stuff.
I could be entirely wrong, though. In the end, doesn't make much difference.
This is a man who should never be trusted with the nuclear codes. I bought my ticket the day after the election and am now living permanently in a safer country.
America is cooked.
I like remaining wary of folks playing a deeper game but let’s be honest; folks in trumps orbit may be but I very much doubt he is.
He repeats the same gripes all the time.
His not-DM to Bondi is literally the same language he uses in campaign rallies.
I think all of this bothers him way more than the normal person and WAY more than a president should care.
Both things can be true I suspect.
He's incredibly thin skinned, so this definitely gets to him. But also, he's using it as a distraction.
Kimmel's next episode should start with the fash removing the Epistein friendship statue from the National Mall & then do a deep dive into how close they were.
Bring the birthday book out too. Maybe have an Epstein victim as a guest if they would like to come on.
Yeah. It's beautiful, isn't it?
I've never watched him, but I watched the monologue on YouTube. At the time it had been up for just 4 hours and had about three and a half million views.
I watched it on YouTube. Never watched Kimmel before. I wasn't missing anything. Not that I dislike him or anything he was saying. He said all the right things to an audience that probably needed to hear it and wasn't hearing it elsewhere. It all just struck me as very milquetoast, lowest common denominator entertainment/sermonizing. Half the comments on Lemmy hit harder. Seems like a relic of a pre-internet time to me (a terminally online weirdo).
It's at 19 million views right now.
Yeah, about an hour after being posted when I watched it, it was at 440K views
Jimmy deserves it for sure.
ABC doesn't.
I didn’t like Jimmy Kimmel but now I do lol
First time I watched him and now I know why I don't watch him lol
