Jimmy Kimmel I’m silent.
It’s not to praise violence. Rather than laughing at tragedy, to tell the truth. Stop ABC Jimmy Kimmel Live! It is nothing more than a political execution under the banner of corporate coronavirus and is enveloped in a sudden “gotcha” culture. Charlie Kirk.
This slap in Kimmel is how censorship is ingrained. That’s when late-night comics provide stinging critiques. “Information provider society” Maga Howls, then Donald Trump’s censorship bends his arm and the network collapses. And the Trump network has now become a major media modus operandi.
These signals are unmistakable. If you say something sharp about the wrong person, you will be erased. Or worse. You will be destroyed. You will be marked. You will be labeled as someone who praises violence.
Kimmel did not celebrate Charlie Kirk’s death. In fact, he denounced it last week. Murder is horrifying and calls for plain denunciation. However, Kimmel’s attacks were clearly speaking without mentioning violence. And he becomes a railing. I was punished. silence. censorship.

But what about the falsehood that exploded in the hours of Kirk’s shooting? a Trans women endure hatred He was mistakenly accused of his murder. Grotesque smears that attempted to fix crime on transgender people Kirk attacked violently.. An unfounded story Shortly after the tragedy, for political points, about trans’s involvement. It was cruel. New York Post Bubbling in my mouth with sensational headlines – lies, lies – and all of them start to keep lying.
After Kirk’s death, no one attacks, fires or punishes anyone who yells “murderer” at trans people.
Kimmel’s rebuttal was honest. Still, the honesty is that he was pulled out of the air. Lies and violent rhetoric Phil. Right-wing media, podcasts, social media. And the words are not spoken. Still, when it comes from someone Trump considers “dangerous,” it’s an all-out war. This time, Kimmel has come from many aspects.
What’s going on here is no coincidence. The Federal Communications Commission Chairman signaled His discomfort, Nexstar affiliates lined up behind the rage, and ABC warned. This is not accountability. It’s far away, then far away. It’s a purge of those Trump sees his enemy.
When regulators and station groups implement partisan standards, they become tools of censorship rather than guardians of the public interest. The danger is not subtle. It will be systematic and will continue to spread. Look at what’s happening in this country now with Kirk’s death.
even The army is warned. Reports show that service members are threatened by consequences if they speak critically about Kirk. They are the very people who defend our freedom, and they are now being told to keep their words or risk retaliation. Politics Kirkwatch says, “There’s an army that’s surprised and they’re afraid of strangulation over what they’re allowed to say.”
If our army is afraid to practice free speech, God helps us.
When comedians and soldiers are threatened by silence, America’s “free speech” is no longer a principle. It’s a privilege only given to those who flatten Donald Trump, saying what he’s saying, believing what he’s doing, laughing, laughing, and attacking when he says.Stand behind and wait. ”
We’ve seen this before and we were shocked. Stephen Colbert’s late night Empire was cancelled under the flimsy cover of “financial restructuring.” right! It was the most important/CBS that the same Trump FCC feared to override Megad Rule trading. So I placed Colbert’s head on a platter and presented it to King Donald.
And ABC has already fallen into Trump accidentally set his suit In December, before he was sworn in. It was disgusting and the domino effect began.
Now Kimmel has joined him as his next target in a campaign to blacken his dissent from the airwaves. Every time a network falls into a cave, the boundaries of what is said will shrink even further, and the cost of speaking up is higher.
The right cried out on the left about “cancelling culture.” What a ton of favorites. This doesn’t cancel culture, but it’s organic, as the cancel culture is messy, chaotic and sometimes cruel. What’s going on here is orderly, weaponized, state-recognized censorship.
And hypocrisy is bold. As critics remained silent, the same Maga crowd cried out about “awakened mob.” They exchange freedom of speech for forced speech, embracing polite guises, and use “respect for freedom of speech” as BL bibli.
This is more than a late-night show. It’s about whether criticism of power is possible in a country that is rapidly slipping towards authoritarianism.
If jokes or monologues are the basis for elimination, satire dies, dissenting dies, democracy dies. And when America shrugged it, our final independent voice in the air soon faded away, leaving only one state-approved story.
And because a right-wing extremist named Charlie Kirk preached freedom of speech, all of this thought picked up steam. If they really want to respect his memory, they will soon stop this madness.
