In reply to the discussion: Disney says 'Jimmy Kimmel Live' will return to ABC on Tuesday [View all]

(160,446 posts)105. I interpreted it as him referencing those Kirk adherents on the right
as being quick to "characterize" the shooter as being someone other than themselves. 
There is a difference in context which is what apparently triggered the network.
I suppose it can be up for debate on what he personally thinks versus his observations of how the RW reacted, the latter of which was part of the monologue.
THAT is what I am trying to note, but however one interprets it, he said what he said.

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

A $3 to four dollars a share fall in price adds up for an oligarch.

Did Kimmel suddenly become the number 1 night show host? I always thought he was probably third in the ratings, but

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?

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:
