Subject: Re: ABC Axes Jimmy Kimmel
On the contrary, it is exactly what happened.

No, it isn’t.

You folks need to think about the TV business for a minute.

The network is the network: they produce the shows that are aired.

But the network’s affiliates choose what to air.

And a great deal many of those affiliates are in the icky flyover country that people like Jimmy Kimmel crap I’m pretty much on the daily.

And guess who watches those affiliates? People upset about the loss of Charlie Kirk.

So when Kimmel fronted the left wing lie narrative about Kirk’s murderer the affiliates - already unhappy with his low ratings - said…nope. We’re yanking his show off the air.

Because guess what? They’re the ones that pick.

ABC merely followed their customers’ lead.
