Thursday's Final Word

MRC President David Bozell urged ABC to end its relationship with Jimmy Kimmel in an interview Thursday on the NewsBusters Podcast.  He applauded the affiliate station groups at Nexstar and Sinclair for taking exception to Kimmel's "horrible remarks" denying that Charlie Kirk's shooter Tyler Robinson was a leftist who came obsessed with gay rights and "trans rights." Kimmel claimed the MAGA crowd was "desperate" to avoid the supposed fact that Robinson was a Trump supporter.  “In the cord-cutting era, these companies are trying to preserve the cord, and trying to preserve customers from cutting the cord. I do not blame the tens of millions of people who may want to do that after seeing Jimmy Kimmel try to suggest that the assassin was of MAGA.” Bozell blamed Kimmel for spreading bad information. "Either Jimmy Kimmel is a terrible liar or he’s woefully ill-informed. Either way, he does not deserve the grace of being able to broadcast into our television screens as quote, ‘entertainment.’" He had a message for Disney and ABC: “It’s about time you start to figure out that the country has changed its tune here and have had enough…it’s not just conservatives. It’s tens of millions of normal, red-blooded Americans who are not even politically inclined that are sick and tired of turning on their local ABC affiliate and hearing a guy spew such bile, such filth – not just at MAGA, the political movement of President Trump, but suggesting that people should die outside of hospitals because they were unvaccinated, and a zillion other examples. Fire this man, for once and for all.” Bozell said he’s not a big fan of people losing their jobs, but “In this instance, when he had every available moment to prepare his own remarks and having vetted his remarks through a writing team, a production team, various producers, and he still went ahead with it, even after knowing the truth? He deserves to be fired.” A suspension is not enough!
