Studying Time: 2 minutes
Hey, Jimmy Kimmel, one among your fellow speak present hosts can now really feel your ache. And anger. And annoyance.
To some extent, at the very least.
Earlier this week, days after the federal authorities pressured ABC to tug Kimmel off the air as a result of feedback he made within the wake of Charlie Kirk’s assassination, Pleasure Behar commented on the controversy.

Behar defended Kimmel by criticizing the world’s “very weak men” who “can’t take a joke,” prompting the White Home to reply to the comic’s remarks in a press release to Leisure Weekly.
“Per usual, Joyless Behar is wrong about many things,” reads the message from White Home spokesperson Abigail Jackson.
Jackson claimed that the current ordeal involving Kimmel’s non permanent suspension from his speak present over had “nothing to do with free speech.”
She then referred to Kimmel as a “low-ratings loser” whom she feels “has always been free to make whatever bad jokes he wants.”

One, in fact, can naturally marvel why the administration is talking to Leisure Weekly. However we don’t have a solution to that.
Jackson, in the meantime, went on to say {that a} “private company — who is the one that decided to take his show off and put it back on — is under no obligation to lose money producing an unpopular show.”
That is irrelevant to the problem at hand, however true.
Additionally true: Kimmel returned on Tuesday evening to a whopping 6.3 million viewers. A lot for having an unpopular present, huh?

And but… Jackson added that “Jimmy Kimmel’s terrible product isn’t a free speech problem; it’s a talent problem” and that “Joyless is probably worried about her own garbage ratings — we can’t blame her!”
Shockingly, nevertheless, the White Home might have some dangerous info right here.
That, and Kimmel continues to trash Donald Trump.
