Jimmy Kimmel has been pulled off the air — but not for the reason you might think. While some are calling his remarks about Charlie Kirk distasteful, the truth is that Kimmel didn’t say Kirk “deserved it.” What he did was point out an uncomfortable possibility: that the shooter may have been MAGA-aligned, something the President and his allies insist must have been left-wing radicalization.

So why was Jimmy Kimmel Live! really yanked? The answer lies in money and power. ABC’s parent company Disney, and especially Nexstar Media Group (currently pushing a $6.2 billion merger), have every incentive to curry favor with Trump’s FCC. Pulling Kimmel looks far less like a reaction to public outrage — for which no evidence has been provided — and far more like political censorship designed to secure corporate gain.

This video unpacks the politics behind the decision, the role of media monopolies, and how free speech gets sacrificed when billion-dollar corporations bow to political pressure.

If we allow this precedent to stand, what happens the next time a comedian, journalist, or critic dares to speak truth to power?
