Roseanne Barr – Fired by ABC/Disney and her hit show Roseanne canceled overnight in 2018 after one tweet. Hundreds of cast and crew lost their jobs.
Gina Carano – Fired from The Mandalorian in 2021 for social media posts that didn’t fit the Left’s politics. Dropped by her agency too.
Megyn Kelly – Fired by NBC in 2018, her morning show canceled after comments about Halloween costumes.
Dave Chappelle – Netflix employees staged a walkout and demanded his comedy special be pulled for “transphobia.” The Left tried hard to cancel him.
Joe Rogan – The Left pressured Spotify to drop him, running coordinated campaigns and advertiser boycotts over COVID discussions.
Tucker Carlson – Taken off Fox News in 2023. Liberal activists bragged about advertiser pressure campaigns that helped force him out, costing thousands of downstream jobs.
Parler – Apple, Google, and Amazon colluded in 2021 to wipe the entire platform off the internet. Tens of thousands of small creators and businesses lost income overnight.
J.K. Rowling – Blacklisted from events, attacked by activists, and pressured out of projects for speaking her mind.
Mike Lindell – MyPillow pulled from major retailers, banned from Twitter, and targeted with advertiser boycotts.
Alex Jones – Simultaneously banned in 2018 by YouTube, Facebook, Apple, and Spotify. Coordinated erasure celebrated as a model for censorship.
Patterns are clear: Coordinated advertiser boycotts. Public celebrations of people losing jobs and businesses. Two sets of rules — the Left can lie (Russia hoax, Covington kids smear, Jussie Smollett, etc.) and laugh about it, but the Right gets destroyed. Accountability only ever goes one way.
The Left has spent the last decade perfecting cancel culture, destroying jobs, nuking shows, wiping platforms off the internet, and laughing while people’s lives were ruined. But sure… Jimmy Kimmel smugly lying about a political assassination? Totally fine.

I understand why many people on the right feel good about Kimmel getting fired. And generally, I believe companies should separate themselves from employees who behave in ways that do not represent the company in a positive manner. However, there is a twist to this Kimmel firing that concerns me.
First, I read all of his comments and it seems the offending comment is he lied about the Kirk shooter being MAGA. Ok, it's a lie. He was clearly not MAGA. But how is this any different than all the other people in media basically saying the same thing? And how is this so different than when a shooting occurs, people on the right proclaim it was a Muslim of a transgender before the facts are known? Or even after the facts are known when people claim some kind of false flag op or conspiracy to hide the real perpetrator?
I read all of Kimmel's messages and in fact he posted one very nice note about ending all gun violence and sending his best wishes to the Kirk family. He didn't mock or condone the shooting like others. He condemned it.
And what are we to make of this report that an FCC official threatened Kimmel's broadcaster over Kimmel's remarks? This is the equivalent of Biden's admin going after Twitter forcing them to censor stories or cancel individual accounts, isn't it? I do not like how this one has gone down. Get ready for payback if we ever see another Democrat administration again.
Just because they did it to us does not mean we need to retaliate. That is a path to government control of everything in a tit-for-tat war of pay back.
At the same time I am skeptical about why Kimmel was taken off the air. I am inclined to believe his employer was looking for a good reason to pull him off the air without offending the left wing fans of his show. Now they've done it while shifting the blame to the Trump admin. I believe Kimmel was fired because his show sucks, not because of his comments.
