Confused complaints to ABC Australia reveal anger over Jimmy Kimmel
www.abc.net.au
The ABC has received hundreds of complaints about US talk show Jimmy Kimmel Live! being pulled off air and threats to boycott sponsors ... but that's the problem when two broadcasters from different countries share a name!

In short:

The American Broadcasting Company has axed Jimmy Kimmel Live! for comments the host made referencing the murder of right-wing activist Charlie Kirk.

The Australian Broadcasting Corporation has received hundreds of complaints intended for America’s ABC about the show being cancelled.

The vast majority of complaints sent to the Australian Broadcasting Corporation contained expressions of dismay, with many citing concerns about free speech and the First Amendment to the US Constitution.

      At the last election day here there was a Muppet fully dressed like trump.

      I live on an island in Redland Bay.

      Population about 6 or 7000.

      Sad fifteen minutes of fame.

      And sadly I know lots of people that think that trump is great. One mate ( I rarely see him anymore ) said a few years ago that he should rule the whole world. This is a 66 year old builder. Sad indeed.

        People who say that sort of thing tend to be the sort of people who have the political awareness of a sloth. When you spend 15 seconds talking to them it becomes very apparent that they haven’t got a clue what they’re talking about.

        I’ve never met anyone (non-American) who seriously expresses support for Trump who isn’t like that.
