What does Jimmy Kimmel have to do with anything? Plus, citation needed.
- nephihaha 8mo agoYouTube videos are not citations. Just went looking for the video and couldn't find it thanks to YT's useless search function. I was forced to endure ten minutes of his hack journalism. More proof he is a mouth for hire. He said the exact opposite about FIFA when they gave Trump a peace prize.
- E39M5S62 8mo agoSince when is Jimmy Kimmel a journalist? He hosts a late night talk show.
- nephihaha 8mo agoHe is now presenting op-eds on YouTube.
- E39M5S62 8mo agoAn op-ed is an outside opinion piece published by a news organization, historically in a print newspaper or magazine. It's irrelevant if he's giving his opinion on a subject in a YouTube video; it's still not journalism (and it's not even an op-ed, since he's effectively self-publishing).
- nephihaha 8mo agoI don't consider Kimmel a journalist anymore than I consider him funny — all his jokes were written for him. He helmed a failing TV show, for which he was being paid millions. None of that stops him from trying to present himself as a journalist or a comedian. I know what an op ed is. You don't need to tell me. It doesn't have to be in print anymore. (You obviously looked up that definition somewhere.)
- E39M5S62 8mo agoYour entire argument hinges on the claim that he's presenting himself as a journalist. He's not doing that. You're not arguing in good faith and it's clear you have an axe to grind - so I'm going to disengage now.
- moogly 8mo agoHe's not a journalist. He's an "entertainer", and a total non sequitur in this context.
- jacquesm 8mo agoKimmel is still on the MAGA troll sanction list.
- nephihaha 8mo agoI don't have a dog in that fight. Not the bipartisan stuff. My main resentment against Kimmel is how he seems to be prioritised in my YouTube suggestions.
