Podcasters Back Kimmel
A few podcast personalities, including Tom Segura, Tim Dillon, and Andrew Schulz, are supporting Jimmy Kimmel after his suspension from ABC due to comments about Tyler Robinson, the suspect in the Charlie Kirk shooting. These podcasters, who are generally known for opposing "cancel culture," say Kimmel’s suspension is an attack on free speech. Dillon and Schulz criticized both the left and right for celebrating cancel culture when it serves their side. Segura wrote that he is alarmed by the divisiveness in current media reactions. Despite often speaking about free speech, Joe Rogan has stayed silent on the issue, drawing criticism from his fans.
