Confused complaints to ABC Australia reveal anger over Jimmy Kimmel
Woulda thought it being called the 'Australian Broadcasting Corporation' would be a red flag that they've stumbled onto the wrong ABC. Our ABC is publicly owned and is always accused of being LW by fans of Murdoch owned crap like Sky News. I hope our ABC forwards all those complaints to the crap American ABC. They deserve every complaint they get....
"What You Did To Jimmy Kimmel Is Against The Constitution and I Will Be Boycotting ABC. When you bend your knees to the president, you've gone too far. America is not happy with ABC."
"I will contact and boycott ALL business that sponsor ABC's shows!"
"I will NEVER watch ABC again — Free speech is gone. Go Jimmy Kimmel!"
These are just a few of the hundreds of complaints the Australian Broadcasting Corporation has received, which were meant for the US company that shares the ABC acronym, the American Broadcasting Company, about Jimmy Kimmel Live! being pulled off air.
*snip*
The vast majority of complaints sent on the topic to the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, contained expressions of dismay that Kimmel's show had been pulled off air, with many citing concerns about free speech and protections to it in the First Amendment to the US Constitution.
It's not clear if these complaints the ABC is receiving are representative of those the US ABC is receiving, but it's clear members of its audience aren't happy with the decision.
