When the most expensive employee in a dying industry says something completely offensive and untrue, that’s a great opportunity to lower your overhead and not get blamed.  [/quote]

This armchair CEO garbage isn't going to cover up the fact that a federal government employee publicly threatened to take major punitive action against a private company in order to censor the speech of their employee. Conservatives used to find this scenario appalling and completely against the Constitution. [/quote]

But Kimmel spread a hurtful lie that he easily could have fact checked, had he stepped out of his bubble.  He wasn’t even telling a joke, he was making a political speech.  [/quote]
It wasn’t a lie - the MAGA crowd had been trying desperately to make people believe that the murderer was  part of some leftist group starting when Kirk’s body was still warm. That was their number one priority.

Also, this should go without saying but comedians are allowed to make political speeches just like they are allowed to tell jokes in America.

At least the America I know. /Captain Von Trapp voice

He is a leftist, though. People weren't wrong. [/quote]

+1. And your employers don't have to keep you. [/quote]

That is true.
However there are rules/laws in place that do protect people from being unjustly terminated.

And these laws exist to protect people from unfair practices, etc.

These laws exist so that people can enjoy the rights (vs. privileges) that are due them.[/quote]

Based on his comments, he could easily have been fired for cause.  [/quote]

What —exactly— about his comments would easily support “cause”?  Yes, I’ve heard the comments and read multiple opinions about them.  [/quote]

looking at his ratings? Poor performance.

[b]Kimmel was trying to prop up the lie that MAGA killed Kirk.[/b] The same lie that the moderator here tried to persuade us to believe, and had to say he was wrong.

He lead in his open monologue that the people on the right doing everything they could to say the shooter wasn’t like them. He was not joking, this was not a joke, he had to know how raw the country was on Monday night, and to use his monologue to spread outright inflammatory discourse like that is unacceptable. To use his medium to confuse and mislead people is unforgivable. He had a battery of writers and producers, and no one flagged it. He and they knew what he was doing and did it anyways because he thought they were untouchable.[/quote]

Please quote the words the Kimmel used that said that he, Jimmy Kimmel, thought MAGA killed Kirk.  Please quote the exact word with which you have a problem.[/quote]

Kimmel:[color=red] "We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it. [/color]In between the finger-pointing, there was grieving on Friday. The White House flew the flags at half-staff, which got some criticism, but on a human level, you can see how hard the president is taking this."[/quote]

That is not a lie.  That is an accurate observation of what occurred all over the internet.  The exact same observation could be made about the left.  The other "them".  At no point did Kimmel state as a fact the kid was MAGA.  At no point did he say that it was MAGA that killed Kimmel.  He merely made an observation.  An accurate observation.

THe fact that you cite this as a lie is evidence you expect nothing other than obeisance to all things MAGA.  Which makes your desires more appropriate for North Korea.[/quote]

“That is not a lie. That is an accurate observation of what occurred all over the internet.”

So Kimmel saw a bunch of leftists stating that the Kirk killer was MAGA, and decided it was a fact?

And said America has reached new lows because MAGA was trying to pretend the killer wasn’t one of them?

His bosses asked him to stop. Kimmel declined and was planning on doubling down:
