U.S. network terminates employment of host Kimmel, as per Kirk's statement.
In a surprising turn of events, U.S. broadcaster ABC News has temporarily suspended the airing of 'Jimmy Kimmel Live' following controversial remarks made by the host, Jimmy Kimmel, about the recently deceased conservative influencer, Charlie Kirk.
The suspension comes after Jimmy Kimmel made a comment about the MAGA crowd and the suspected killer of Kirk on his show. Kimmel stated, 'We hit some new lows this weekend as the MAGA crowd desperately tried to portray the suspected killer of Kirk as anything but one of their own, and did everything they could to capitalize on it politically' (Politico reported).
This decision has sparked a wave of reactions across the political spectrum. Former U.S. President Donald Trump expressed joy over the network's decision, tweeting, 'Great news for America.'
On the other hand, the suspension has received criticism from Democrats. Senator Chuck Schumer from New York wrote on Twitter that it's about protecting democracy, urging everyone from across the political spectrum to raise their voice to prevent what's happening to Jimmy Kimmel. California Governor Gavin Newsom also criticized the suspension, writing that it's 'coordinated' and 'dangerous.'
Brendan Carr, head of the national media regulatory body, strongly disagreed with Kimmel's portrayal, demanding that ABC News and Disney, the owner of the network, 'take action' against Kimmel's comments. The exact nature of the criticism from Democrats is not detailed in the provided paragraphs, but it's clear that the suspension is not universally accepted.
The show's suspension is expected to last in the 'foreseeable future.' Intensive talks are ongoing between Jimmy Kimmel and ABC News, but it remains uncertain whether the show will return soon and who might host it. As of now, there is currently no confirmed new host announced to take over when the show resumes.
It's important to note that Kimmel's remarks about Kirk's death were deemed 'offensive and insensitive.' The spokesperson for the network stated that Kimmel's comments came at a 'critical juncture in our national political discourse.'
It's not clear if any other parties, such as Politico, have criticized the suspension of 'Jimmy Kimmel Live.' The current U.S. President has not commented on the matter.
This development marks a significant shift in the American media landscape, with the suspension of a popular late-night talk show sparking heated debates and raising questions about the boundaries of free speech and political correctness. The situation is being closely watched by media enthusiasts and political analysts alike.
