First Paramount, now Disney... you folks are running out of uncensored media outlets.
Yes, censored.

It's not free speech, though. Specifically, Trump: ‘When 97 percent of the stories are bad about a person, it’s no longer free speech.’
Jimmy Kimmel chose to make those comments about Charlie Kirk, may God's blessings and peace be upon him, hatefully suggesting a good and faithful MAGA hat wearer could harm him. And that simply couldn't have happened to Charlie Kirk (BPUH), so quod erat demonstrandum that particular speech was not free speech.
And it's not just him. As our President just truthed out:

That leaves Jimmy and Seth, two total losers, on Fake News NBC. Their ratings are also horrible. Do it NBC!!!
So it looks like pretty soon the rest of late night comedy will have to go in order to restore free speech to America.
