"Fox News host Laura Ingraham defended ABC's decision to suspend Jimmy Kimmel indefinitely following a comment in which he claimed Charlie Kirk's alleged assassin was a right-winger. During a panel discussion with Fox News contributor Byron York and 2Way founder Mark Halperin, Ingraham played the remark that ABC used as justification for pulling Kimmel off the air amid backlash from affiliates and one major station group announcing plans to pre-empt Kimmel on its channels across the country."
"York argued that ABC pulling Kimmel was an example of the free market at work. The market is speaking in this case, York said. And obviously making a joke any joke about this assassination at this time just seems to be incredibly reckless, and making one based on a libelous falsehood is even worse. They cease to be funny because they cease to connect with the American people, Ingraham said of Kimmel and his late-night peers."
Laura Ingraham defended ABC's decision to suspend Jimmy Kimmel indefinitely after he suggested Charlie Kirk's alleged assassin was a right-winger. Ingraham played Kimmel's remark during a panel with Byron York and Mark Halperin, framing the suspension within affiliate backlash and a major station group's plans to pre-empt the show. Kimmel labeled the killer as part of the 'MAGA gang' and accused conservatives of trying to score political points from the murder. Ingraham denied that the suspension represented cancel culture and challenged critics. Byron York described the suspension as the free market at work and called jokes based on falsehoods reckless and alienating.
