Networks Still Mourn Kimmel, ABC/NBC Skip Reports of Actual Backlash
ABC, CBS, and NBC were still enraged on Friday morning and evening over unfunny late-night host Jimmy Kimmel’s indefinite suspension from ABC over his vile remarks Monday spreading a conspiracy theory about the Charlie Kirk assassination. And once again, they fiddled with a conspiracy theory of their own that the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), local TV conglomerates, and the Trump…
Nets Gave Nearly 2x Coverage to Pre-Election Jobs Vs. Jobs Revision
Remember that blowout September 2024 jobs report the broadcast networks slobbered over in October just before the presidential election?

Sure enough, ABC CBS and NBC were clearly not as keen on letting viewers know they just mindlessly swallowed up what the Biden administration spit out for political…
Meyers, Stewart, Fallon Blast Kimmel's Suspension, Don't Play Remarks
CBS’s Stephen Colbert freaked out on Thursday’s edition of The Late Show at ABC suspending Jimmy Kimmel and downplayed his comments that MAGA was “desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them,” but at least he played the clip.

'That's Just Jimmy Kimmel': Colbert Doesn't Understand Anger at Kimmel
All of the late night comedians addressed ABC suspending Jimmy Kimmel on Thursday shows, but CBS’s Stephen Colbert’s reaction on The Late Show was especially bad.

CLOWN NOSE ON: Kamau Bell Comedysplains Kimmel’s MAGA Smear
While in the process of explaining the comedic process to his debate table interlocutor on CNN’s NewsNight with Abby Phillip, comic and filmmaker W. Kamau Bell did the classic “clown nose on/clown nose off” that is the hallmark of the left-regime comic. That he did it while explaining Jimmy Kimmel’s mendacious Monday bit is pure poetry.
MRC's David Bozell on Kimmel: 'Fire This Man, For Once and For All'
MRC President David Bozell urged ABC to end its relationship with Jimmy Kimmel in an interview Thursday on the NewsBusters Podcast.

Kirk's Assassination: The Left’s Big Denial
Despite data showing the willingness of the “very liberal” to support violence to achieve political ends, Democrats like Rep. Pat Ryan (D-N.Y.) deny that calling political opponents “fascists” or “Nazis” or “Hitler” contributes to the “overall problem.” Ryan said: “I actually don’t think it does. I think people are trying to grapple with a really unprecedented time in our country where we’re…

CNN’s Tapper, Stelter Defend, Mourn Jimmy Kimmel After ABC Suspension
CNN’s The Lead happened to be on-air as word came that ABC had suspended liberal late-night host Jimmy Kimmel indefinitely following conspiratorial and vile remarks Monday mocking President Trump and conservatives for mourning last week’s assassination of Charlie Kirk.

Unglued CNN Attacks Jennings for Tying Far-Left Hate to Kirk Murder
Usually one of the more respectful and good-natured hosts in the liberal media, Kasie Hunt’s The Arena on CNN repeatedly descended Tuesday into a leftist struggle session against senior political commentator Scott Jennings, condescendingly telling him he’s “in pain” over the murder of friend Charlie Kirk but nonetheless engaged in “deeply problematic” rhetoric by (correctly) pointing…
LAZY: Politico Plays Dumb on ‘The Nation’ Mag’s Connection to Soros
Politico’s knee-jerk reaction to trust but not verify leftist magazine The Nation’s retort to Vice President J.D. Vance’s connection of the latter to billionaire George Soros is the epitome of what happens when journalists let TDS rot their brains so much they throw ethics to the wind.
