Former ESPN -Radio host Dan Le Batard Rev Disney’s Bob Iger to go through with pulling talk show host Jimmy Kimmel out of the air after coming with controversial comments about Charlie Kirk’s assault.
On Monday, Kimmel “The Maga Gang” accused of reaching “new low down” in “trying to characterize” 22-year-old suspected Tyler Robinson “as something other than one of them.”
But Le Batard said that the decision to remove kimming from the air waves is moving “dangerously close to state media.”

“Seeing Jimmy Kimmel does not have the protection of something as powerful as Disney because business interests in media are filled with such cowardice that you have a situation where not even Bob Iger has the money or power to stand up to the threat currently on the coasts of everyone in media because of how compromised they are of a number of fusion and money interests,” Le Batard said on his show on Thursday. “And to see Bob Iger showing this kind of cowardice and bending the knee again, again with Trump, not the first time, for what happens here is when you are first a sweep that is blackmailed, the bully will continue to extinguish sweeping.”
Le Batard then pinned Trump’s $ 16 million settlement with ABC as the beginning of a “threat” to spread propaganda.

“And when they gave Trump $ 16 million on something that [George] Stephanopoulos said they opened the doors now for all media that felt it has to capitulate to a threat, and now you are getting dangerously close to state media. And I want to tell you as someone who rises down, grandparents and parents, from a childhood filled with ‘You can’t trust the media, it’s all propaganda,’ I’ve never seen in my lifetime America in the position at the moment when the media runs this kind of afraid of power, as if we are not a place as one of the most important principles is free.
“I understand that private business does not have to comply with the expression system. But no one can look at what is happening here and says this is a kind of threat that you haven’t seen before in the US.”
Kimel’s comments came one day after both the FBI officials and the Utah government Spencer Cox said Robinson held a “leftist ideology” and was increasingly radicalized in recent years. It was also revealed that he had a romantic relationship with a transgender partner who was biologically male and switched to her.

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chairman Brendan Carr then issued a threat to Disney if it did not deal with the controversy.
By performing on Wednesday’s “The Benny Show”, Carr Kimmel’s comments called “some of the sickest behavior” and suggested that there were potential “ways” that FCC could pursue.
“In some quarters, there is a very concerted effort to try to lie to the American people about nature … of one of the most significant news-worthy public interests that we have seen for a long time in what seems to be an act of Jimmy Kimmel to play into the tale that this was somehow a maga or a republican motive,” Carr said Carren Beny Johnson.
Nexstar Media Group, which owns hundreds of television stations, earlier announced that it would prevent Kimmel’s show at its ABC -associated companies from Wednesday night “in the foreseeable future” and would replace it with other programming over his comments about Robinson.
Kirk, 31, was shot and killed last week while talking at an event at Utah Valley University. Thousands of people have taken care of his death in vigilance throughout the United States
The Conservative Influencer’s funeral is set to September 21 in Glendale, Arizona.
