What we've got here is a story that definitely requires a beverage warning before proceeding.

Howard Stern joined the Left's attempt to convince everybody that the real victim after the assassination of Charlie Kirk is the ABC host who spread a false narrative about the ideology of the murderer who pulled the trigger. Jimmy Kimmel's show then got canceled after blowback from affiliates and advertisers, all while the Democrats are trying to say Trump had the show pulled off the air because he's a fascist authoritarian.

"When the government begins to interfere, when the government says, ‘I’m not pleased with you, so we’re gonna orchestrate a way to silence you,’ it’s the wrong direction for our country. I should know. I’ve been involved in something like this, and now ABC is put in the same position and it’s unfortunate that ABC even has to be in this position. They shouldn’t have to be in this position. I feel for them too, in this. But someone’s gotta step up and f*cking say, ‘Hey, enough, we’re not gonna bow.’ Now it might sound stupid, but the thing I did this morning, I’m canceling my Disney+. I’m trying to say with the pocketbook that I do not support what they’re doing with Jimmy."
