The woke media machine is finally facing consequences for its vile behavior.
Jimmy Kimmel crossed a line by making disgusting jokes about Charlie Kirk’s assassination – and now ABC insiders are revealing the complete meltdown happening behind the scenes at The View.
What they’re telling reporters shows just how terrified these people really are.
ABC sources reveal panic spreading through the network
Sources inside ABC are painting a picture of total chaos after the network pulled Jimmy Kimmel Live! indefinitely over his sick comments about Charlie Kirk’s murder on September 10, 2025.
The hosts of The View can’t even agree on how to handle the crisis gripping their own network.
"There’s definitely a difficult dynamic going on," one production source revealed to reporters. "The View is not going to discuss Jimmy Kimmel’s suspension because they’re at the same network."¹
FCC Chair Brendan Carr isn’t stopping with Kimmel – he’s already put The View on notice that they could be next if they keep pushing the envelope.
When The View aired on Thursday, September 19th, Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, Sunny Hostin, Sara Haines, and Alyssa Farah Griffin completely avoided mentioning the biggest story at their own company.
Instead of addressing Kimmel’s suspension, they focused on FBI Director Kash Patel’s congressional testimony and other safe topics – exactly what you’d expect from people who got marching orders from corporate.
Staff members are literally packing up their offices
Here’s where it gets really interesting – ABC employees are so worried about losing their jobs that they’re already preparing to leave.
One production staffer revealed they’ve started taking personal belongings home each night because they don’t know what’s coming next.
Network insiders say the panic extends beyond just The View – it’s hitting every politically-focused show at ABC.
"Behind the scenes, staff are scared for their jobs," sources told reporters. "Those who work in the media industry have been in fear for a while now, but last night’s news has heightened their fear."²
The same people who spent four years cheering government censorship of conservatives are now discovering what accountability actually looks like.
Some staffers admit they’ll have to completely change how they approach political commentary because the days of operating without consequences are over.
Kimmel declares ABC "completely dead" to him
Sources close to Jimmy Kimmel say he’s furious with how ABC handled the situation and has zero interest in meeting the demands from Sinclair Broadcasting Group.
Sinclair won’t allow Kimmel back on their ABC affiliate stations unless he donates to Turning Point USA – Charlie Kirk’s organization – and issues a public apology to Kirk’s family.
According to insiders, Kimmel would rather walk away from his ABC contract entirely than apologize for his vile comments.
"ABC right now is completely dead to Jimmy," one source explained. "For everything he has done for ABC, to host the Oscars and champion the company for years – this is the biggest slap in the face of his entire life and career."³
President Trump celebrated ABC’s decision on Truth Social, writing: "The ratings challenged Jimmy Kimmel Show is CANCELLED. Congratulations to ABC for finally having the courage to do what had to be done."⁴
Later, Trump added that Kimmel was taken off the air "for lack of talent" – which honestly explains his ratings decline better than any political controversy.
The Left’s sudden discovery of "free speech" is laughable
Look, the crocodile tears from Hollywood over Kimmel’s suspension are rich beyond belief.
These are the same people who spent four years cheering while the Biden administration pressured Big Tech companies to silence anyone who questioned COVID lockdowns, mask mandates, or vaccine requirements.
Where was Jason Bateman’s concern about free speech when conservatives got deplatformed for questioning "the science" on climate change or pointing out that gender dysphoria is a mental illness – despite the Left’s desperate attempts to normalize these delusions?
Federal agencies worked directly with social media platforms to censor dissenting voices on everything from Hunter Biden’s laptop to lab leak theories about COVID’s origins.
Not one Hollywood celebrity spoke up when parents got labeled "domestic terrorists" for challenging school boards about their kids’ education.
But Jimmy Kimmel makes abhorrent jokes about Charlie Kirk’s assassination, and suddenly these people become First Amendment scholars worried about government overreach.
Here’s the reality – what Trump and the FCC just pulled off is classic populist politics, and the Democrat pushback is a massive strategic mistake.
If Disney and ABC hadn’t taken action after Kimmel’s vile comments, it would’ve been a disaster for the country and shown that media companies can say anything without consequences.
The Left spent years weaponizing government power to silence opposition voices, and now they’re discovering what happens when those tactics get turned around on them.
What this really means for the future
Here’s the bigger picture that has ABC executives losing sleep – the Trump administration isn’t playing by the old rules where conservative voices get silenced while leftist hosts say whatever they want.
FCC Chair Brendan Carr demonstrated that broadcast licenses come with actual obligations to serve the public interest, not just push partisan talking points.
When Carr told affiliate owners "we can do this the easy way or the hard way," he was speaking a language corporate America finally understands.
The panic spreading through ABC shows these media figures know their protection racket is ending.
For decades, they controlled the narrative while facing zero accountability for their bias and hatred toward half the country.
Charlie Kirk’s assassination on September 10th at Utah Valley University was a turning point – and Kimmel’s disgusting response proved these people learned nothing from the tragedy.
The fact that Disney immediately caved to pressure from affiliate stations and the FCC shows even corporate giants understand the political winds have shifted.
This is what winning looks like – not just electoral victories, but actual consequences for the media establishment that spent years treating conservatives like enemies of the state.
ABC’s internal chaos is just the beginning of a long-overdue reckoning with an industry that forgot it’s supposed to serve the American people, not lecture them.
