“And ABC, to their credit, didn’t waste any time; they canceled her show today. I’m not a fan of censorship, but this wasn’t about free speech…It was about consequences for saying something vile. You can say what you want, but networks don’t have to pay you to say it…You can’t hurt blame Ambien for that. Actions have consequences, and ABC made the right call.”

You mean when she was fired for being a racist?

As always, you missed the point. Her employer fired her for her distasteful comments--just like Kimmel's employer did to him. As Kimmel so eloquently explained, it wasn't censorship.
