It's fascinating how in the same take - he covers Trump making billions (Via the ABC question)....then promotes a book about how Trump squandered his fathers fortune. Elon musk (supposedly) was down to nothing at the early stages of Tesla and nearing bankruptcy. Thats just part of being an entrepreneur and businessman.
I rarely consume US late night talk shows anymore and the vast majority of Australians have never consumed them. Letterman, Leno, Carson, even the lesser known ones like Conan, Craig Ferguson, Jimmy Fallon managed to stay balanced and not preach. The content was generally pop-culture and celebrity related so at any given time anyone could tune in and likely be entertained. Now? Only a select group will be entertained.
Watching Kimmel do 15 minutes of Trump and 'right wing' bashing on a public broadcaster with a special licence to operate just demonstrates why these shows are dead and are getting cancelled. From the trusty interweb: Colbert's show hosted 176 liberal guests compared to just one conservative, former Rep. Liz Cheney. I'm too lazy to find the Kimmel stats but I'd bet they would be similar.
Because these networks are given exclusive rights to free to air TV slots - they have to follow some rules like giving equal airtime for political messaging. But that's drifted in the past 20 years and what these networks now do it bring political messages in to their entertainment shows and try to disguise it as simple interviews to get around equal airtime rules. It worked - but it has consequences - reduced viewership, and upsetting the other side.
Anyways long way of saying Kimmel has freedom of speech. He can start a podcast and say what he wants. He can start a website and write what he wants. But he can't use a government licenced TV slot to say what he wants when he wants about what he wants free from consequences.
