    Could care less what the left media spews. It didn't help them get elected and it's not going to help Obamacare survive.

    That's cute and all, but the OP didn't ask for equal time. But thanks for interjection your argument, when one didn't exist.
    Post fail!

    Unlike you I read the OP and it looks like Kimmel is doing his homework and making comments based on facts...

    And why you think he represents all of "Hollywood" shows you have done no homework.

    Like Kimmel, YOU are free to debate and show what he said that was wrong and why it was wrong.

    That would be doing something responsible.

    It's irresponsible to just insult him and blow off what he has to say because you believe he is nothing more than "Hollywood" and has no right to free speech.

    Hey, why don't YOU get a show like his ???? Then you could say what you'd like.....and see how it goes :)

    Unlike you I don't use my imagination to tell people things I can't possibly know about them. I don't understand people that do this.
    So dishonest.

    Actually what I said was Kimmel was guilty of commenting on public issues without a solid base of knowledge...as is typical of sheltered Hollywood types.

    That's why I included my link of Ben Shaprio dissecting Kimmel's many errors
    in his health care criticism. Sure helps to read, doesn't it.

    Where did you see me saying Jimmy Kimmel has no free speech rights? In your imagination? Yes, that's right...in your imagination.

    And why don't YOU get a show like Kimmel's? Hollywood is always looking for people who make others laugh. Should be easy for you.

    I'm also sure you don't understand yourself :)






    Which is not true and a dishonest statement.





    YOUR links !???/:roll::roflol::roflol:


    I asked you first...to make fun of your jealousy of Kimmel's popularity....you couldn't answer without insults, no intelligent reply..



    Thank YOU!!! ...and that's what gets ratings ! I would be a bigger success than you easily.....since comedy is based on real life and facts....:)

    And you are wrong again.


    If you actually look at the link you'll see why Kimmel, and you apparently, are so far off base. All the little "laughing gif men" in the world cannot change that.



    No. I did. When did I say Kimmel doesn't have the right to speak out? Show me that quote if you aren't afraid of looking like someone who invents comments to "win" your little arguments, which you do.

    I'm not jealous of Kimmel or any other late night monkey. .So sod off!
    It's sad that you can't imagine someone else whose life doesn't revolve around
    the inanities of late night network tv.


    Most people would be too embarrassed to expose their pathetic little delusions to others. Not you.

    I prefer to inundate his advertisers with eMails from their potential customers.

    Late night TV is quite popular with folks who don't work and don't have to get up with an alarm clock.

    How is this different than Fox News parading a never ending chain of Republican politicians supporting their position across their shows?

    Not everyone can take the day off to listen to Limbaugh in the middle of the day on talk-radio.

    The viewership spike for cable news shows no signs of slowing down. Fox News, CNN, and MSNBC all saw double-digit ratings growth across the board for the second quarter of 2017, according to Nielsen data.

    Driven by surges for “The Rachel Maddow Show” and “Last Word With Lawrence O’Donnell,” MSNBC is up a whopping 86% in total viewers in primetime compared to second-quarter 2016. CNN saw a 39% leap in adults 25-54 in total day. Fox News’ “Tucker Carlson Tonight” and MSNBC’s “Rachel Maddow” split the crown for most-watched cable news program in primetime, with Carlson winning in total viewers and Maddow taking the demo.

    In total day, Fox News led with 1.47 million total viewers, up 27% from the same period last year. Of those, 314,000 fell in the adults 25-54 demographic, up 46% from last year. MSNBC was second in total viewers with 886,000, up 73%. MSNBC was third in total day in the demo, however, with 206,000 for an increase of 57%. CNN was third in total viewers with 788,000 for an increase of 25%, but second in the demo with 262,000 (up 39%).

    Sadly but typical of Republican "dissections" like Shapiro's excuses about how the healthcare isn't available and affordable don't even address the issue.

    Almost ALL of the First World health systems provide complete solid coverage for health care for EVERYONE for a fraction of the cost of what the USA costs.

    And those countries still allows getting fancy beds and gold-plated wheel chairs is available any citizen.

    Shapiro shows how the USA pays FAR more than anyone else, but somehow concludes, without ANY basis, to do MORE of what was rising costs even way are before Obamacare (or Romneycare) was imagined!

    Republicans "logic" simply is stories and propaganda.

    Fox News like CNN is a "news" outlet, Kimmel is a late night talk show dork that features celebrity guests. BTW CNN has a never ending chain of Trump bashing stories supporting their position across their shows?
