ABC暂停吉米金梅利现场! 经过争议性的独白后,导致大量取消和评级崩溃,但没有发现任何政治干预。 ABC suspended Jimmy Kimmel Live! after a controversial monologue, leading to mass cancellations and a ratings collapse, but no political interference was found.

2025年9月, 吉米(Jimmy Kimmel)的ABC节目因关于保守派人物查理·柯克(Charlie Kirk)遭暗杀的争议性独白而暂时中止, 引发关于言论自由和媒体问责的辩论。 In September 2025, Jimmy Kimmel’s ABC show was temporarily suspended following a controversial monologue about the assassination of conservative figure Charlie Kirk, sparking debate over free speech and media accountability. 由于收视率下降和广告商的担心,ABC和Disney决定暂停营业,这导致他回国后观看率下降73%,并促使60个当地ABC子公司放弃演出。 The suspension, a business decision by ABC and Disney due to declining ratings and advertiser concerns, led to a 73% drop in viewership upon his return and prompted 60 local ABC affiliates to drop the show. 虽然演员布拉德利·惠特福德批评此举是对言论自由的攻击，类似于麦卡锡主义，但媒体分析师将这一下降归因于观众兴趣和进步内容的减弱，而不是政府审查制度。 While actor Bradley Whitford criticized the move as an attack on free speech akin to McCarthyism, media analysts attributed the decline to waning audience interest and progressive content, not government censorship. 尽管遭到强烈反弹,该节目在暂停活动期间吸引了十多年来最大的观众,突出了观众对令人信服的内容的需求。 Despite the backlash, the show drew its largest audience in over a decade during the suspension, underscoring audience demand for compelling content. 没有任何证据支持政治干涉的主张。 No evidence supports claims of political interference.
