    To me this is abuse of the media. If he's going to get that political they should provide on the air rebuttal time. Kimmels show isn't a soap box for the Democrat party. So in light of Kimmels latest political posturings, I think it's time to let his sponsors know that there are those of us who are displeased. Every late night talk show host uses who ever is the current president as comedy fodder, I get that. Jay Leno made jokes about Clinton, Bush and Obama, but to me Kimmel sounds like a parrot for the Democrat Party talking points. Then low and behold according to the article above, we find out he's been in touch with the office of Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y).

    It's time we let his sponsors know we don't like his soapbox and that we intend to ignore their products.

    Please take a few minutes and contact his sponsors and voice your displeasure.

    If it isn't then it's the only show on mainstream TV that isn't.

    As leftism is predicated on a grand lie, it's reasonable to expect scripts and contrivances. Sane America has become wise to it, so the more the better.

    If you thing that the Republicans should get equal time to rebut Jimmy Kimmel's remarks, I suggest you should campaign for the revival of the fairness doctrine.

    Why is that as there is nothing "Fair" about the fairness doctrine.

    So you hate free speech....OK, I got it...


    You hate people who actually do research BEFORE they speak....OK, I got it. ( you must prefer bumper sticker slogans to facts?)

    You hate the fact that he may have influence , as an American, on his representatives and fellow Americans that isn't in lockstep with your beliefs? OK, I got it.

    But you want to use influence to curb his speech, OK I got it...:)

    Actually they're not you're making a sweeping generalization that has no basis in reality. The reason Kimmel and Corden are so political and Colbert is because it's great for the ratings Americans love making fun of trump. Fallon does very little political.

    Sad that you think it's true. CNN and MSNBC ratings are through the roof because of how they pick on Trump. No one is replacing them.
