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.

    Ah this reminds me of a right wing demonstration in Turkey infront of the Dutch Embassy because of something bad Mark Holland had said about Turkey.

      Wasn’t there a Chechnya/Czechia mixup a couple of years ago as well? (This comment was brought to you by Autocorrect, I couldn’t have done it without it)

        Uh, I thought that was two ways of pronouncing the same country? C’mon lemmy, beat me up, but give me the skinny.
