In reply to the discussion: Disney says 'Jimmy Kimmel Live' will return to ABC on Tuesday [View all]love_katz
(3,165 posts)55. Kimmel's comments hit the bull's eye.
$hitler made a bunch of false accusations and very ugly threats before the facts in the case were even known. A reporter tossed him a softball question about he was holding up after losing his "friend", and Pisswig showed how caring and sensitive he is ('nt), by saying that he was " doing pretty good, really ", and then deflecting to the construction of his (Epstein) ball room .
I'm guessing that a staffer clued him in to what a bad look that was for him. So, instead of any kind of measured statement about CK's death, he decided to go on the attack and blame Jimmy Kimmel for making him look like the a$$hat that he is.

Yep. That Disney's market value fell between $3 and $4 billion following its suspension of Kimmel had to be a factor

Their bottom line must have been tanking between the public dropping them and boycotting their sponsors.

Wouldn't it be funny if he agreed to tone it down, but triples down in his monologue with a hardcore anti-MAGA rant?

This is really good news for a lot of reasons. This could not have happened in Hungary or Russia. It thwarts the efforts

Correct. Nothing in that comment linked the alleged killer to Trump or the MAGA movement.

Yes, he said what he said... but those words don't say what many people seem to think they do.

It's not a matter of "personal view," it's that this sentence from their report is objectively false:
