While the left mourns Jimmy Kimmel’s suspension more passionately and with more outrage than the politically motivated murder of conservative leader Charlie Kirk, there is far more behind Kimmel’s downfall than just his willingness to spread fake news to his audience.
According to reports, Kimmel’s show has lost more than 70% of its viewership in recent years, and revenues are down more than $220M, costing the network over $20M this year alone. The show is a losing proposition for the network even before Kimmel’s fake news spreading.
And now, a report from MRC’s NewsBusters sheds light on just how far left the show really is, noting, “According to an aggregation of previous NewsBusters studies, 92 percent of Kimmel’s jokes since January 2023 have been about conservatives, and since September 2022, 97 percent of his political guests have been liberals.”
As far as what Kimmel tries to pass off as jokes, “Since NewsBusters began keeping track, Kimmel told a total of 7,797 political jokes over 369 episodes. Of these, 7,189 were about right-leaning people, groups, or things. Only 565 (7 percent) were about left-leaners and 43 (1 percent) were about non-partisan targets.”
“Kimmel’s top ten favorite targets included only one Democrat. They were: Donald Trump (3,584), Joe Biden (336), George Santos (308), Elon Musk (209), Mike Lindell (203), Melania Trump (181), Donald Trump Jr. (165), MAGA/Trump supporters (155), Eric Trump (142), and Republicans (139).”
The study also notes wide disparities when comparing left and right equivalents.
Newsbusters reports:
Republicans 139 vs. Democrats 8
Conservatives 52 vs. Liberals 5
Fox News 71 and Newsmax 4 vs. CNN 3 and MSNBC 0
JD Vance 128 and Mike Pence 8 vs. Tim Walz 15 and Kamala Harris 12
Mike Johnson 56 and Kevin McCarthy 27 vs. Nancy Pelosi 2 and Hakeem Jeffries 1
Melania Trump 181 vs. Jill Biden 5
Donald Trump Jr. 165 and Eric Trump 142 vs. Hunter Biden 23
GuestsEver since NewsBusters started counting, Kimmel has brought on 63 political guests, 61 of whom have been liberals or Democrats. That works out to 97 percent. However, the two conservative guests both come with disclaimers. One guest was My Pillow CEO Mike Lindell, who, as a condition for his appearance, spent the entire interview inside of an arcade claw machine game. It was not meant to be a serious interview. Second was comedian Bill Burr, who confronted Kimmel on his own show about liberals making Trump a martyr amid all his legal battles. However, Burr is counted as a liberal in his other appearance because of his “Free Luigi” ramblings.
In addition to Burr, guests to appear multiple times in the study’s runtime include George Conway, Jane Fonda, John Oliver, Seth Meyers, Rep. Jasmine Crockett, and former Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger.
