As we told you Wednesday afternoon, Disney's ABC is pulling the plug indefinitely on the Jimmy Kimmel Show after the host joined other lefties by claiming that Charlie Kirk's assassin was from the "MAGA" side of the aisle.
Kimmel said in part: "We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it."
Democrats and their cohorts in the media are trying to whip this into a "free speech" frenzy when in fact it seems to be yet another business decision in response to more crazy leftist nuttery.
Brian Stelter was spotted trying to soften what Kimmel said as much as possible:
Stelter says Kimmel “suggested” the killer “might’ve been” a pro-Trump Republican & that Kimmel said the motive was “unclear” & “maybe” the killer was rightwing.

This is a lie by Brian. Kimmel was *definitive* in his false claim that the shooter was MAGA.pic.twitter.com/6RXMHAOF2m
Which is why Brian Stelter and CNN did not play Kimmel's exact comments. https://t.co/3GkaftqYb0

Most MSM outlets won't play the full Kimmel quote for obvious reasons.
Meanwhile, Stelter said he asked the FCC chair for comment and got a GIF in response:
I asked FCC chair @BrendanCarrFCC if he had any new comment now that ABC has pulled Jimmy Kimmel's show, and he sent me this GIF pic.twitter.com/ljz60FzHN4

LOL.
One thing is for sure...
OK. This is way funnier than anything Kimmel ever did.

Things have evolved quickly, and that's what's really troubling the legacy media hacks.

It didn't always used to be this way for the lib media, however:
