Hey there, reader,
It’s Friday, and maybe we should dial it back a notch, you know, just a bit.
Today, I’m in the mood to show some grace, although, honestly, the situation feels pretty intense.
The apology was accepted. Globel now
I’ve been thinking a lot about Jimmy Kimmel lately. There’s a kind of desperate vibe in the media, always chasing stories that steer clear of Kirk. Can’t really blame them, I guess.
However, the news coming from the network post-Kimmel’s exit isn’t great. Reportedly, the network execs wanted him to publicly apologize to Kirk.
Kimmel said no.
Instead, he seemed intent on clarifying that Kirk’s death was due to racist backlash, while still targeting those who criticized him. If that reads as a non-apology, well, it’s hard to argue otherwise.
Let’s maybe take a step back before we dive into Kimmel’s potential return to the screen. According to the FCC, this shouldn’t really be a topic of public discussion. I could be mistaken—maybe there are some good intentions behind this—but I typically lean against government censorship.
And, contrary to what some in the liberal media might say, it didn’t exactly unfold like that.
Mike Solana of Pirate Wires summed it up pretty accurately:
Anyway, let’s get to it—what I think needs to happen for Kimmel to come back:
It’s not just about saying “sorry.” That feels too simple. Given how many lives have been impacted negatively over the years, should I really care about a late-night host’s woes?
Not really. I want him to face the music. I want all of them to do the same. I think he should really confront the implications of his past actions, maybe even take a serious moment to apologize to Kirk and his family.
And yes, I want him to sincerely apologize for the atmosphere of censorship that many of them have contributed to.
I want him to start by saying sorry to Tucker Carlson. He should really acknowledge that he was wrong and that Carlson didn’t deserve the treatment he received.
After that, it should be a broader apology—maybe even make a list. Apologize to people like Roseanne Barr and Gina Carano. Apologize to Kyle Rittenhouse. Just be genuine. Apologize to those skeptical of COVID vaccines and various other individuals who have faced backlash for their views.
And don’t forget Emmanuel Cafferty, who lost his job over a misunderstanding with an OK sign. There are many names to consider—apologizing to William Kelly for his support of Rittenhouse and addressing the backlash faced by others as well.
I want him to recognize the toll that censorship has taken on conservatives over the years. Acknowledge that this has led to numerous mistakes. There’s a real need to challenge the so-called “misinformation” trackers and call out the damage done to conservative voices.
From the rooftops, declare that you were wrong and promise not to make those mistakes again.
Make it compelling. I genuinely want to see real emotion in those apologies—acknowledge the impact that those choices had on lives and careers.
If he does this, I might just accept his apology. If not, well, I’ll just say that I’ll take it easy online.
