THE FIRING OF JIMMY KIMMEL
By: Derek Varsalona
As an advocate for free speech, I am deeply concerned that ABC has decided to fire Comedian Jimmy Kimmel. Now, I worry about people and their own lives and livelihoods. What is next? Will President Trump start to murder the people that he disagrees with?
I liked Jimmy Kimmel. Thought he was funny. As for his firing, he should not have been fired for his viewpoints. Under the Constitution, Jimmy Kimmel has the right to freedom of speech. But ABC the Network has the power of the purse strings, as does Walt Disney Corporation. The other reason I think Jimmy Kimmel was fired was not solely due to President Trump pushing him off the air. The reason is that Jimmy Kimmel was not a family-friendly show, and we all know that ABC is owned by Disney, a family-friendly company.
Jimmy Kimmel has the right to freedom of speech and the right to make a living. As a viewer, you have the right to turn him off and not watch. President Trump has no right to ask for ABC to pull Kimmel. If Kimmel's views were not tolerated, then his ratings would go down. Jimmy Kimmel was fired for being anti-Trump. Which comedian is next? As always, comments accepted.
