Instead, they report on his removal from the air by ABC [1] [6] and demands from Sinclair Broadcast Group for an apology and a donation to Charlie Kirk's family as a condition for allowing his show back on their stations [2] [3]. The sources consistently state that Jimmy Kimmel's show was suspended indefinitely due to his remarks about Charlie Kirk's death [6] [1].
2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints
Some key context missing from the original statement includes the reasons behind Jimmy Kimmel's removal from the air, which according to the sources, was due to his comments about Charlie Kirk [1] [6]. Additionally, the demands made by Sinclair Broadcast Group for an apology and a donation to Charlie Kirk's family are an important aspect of the situation [2] [3]. Alternative viewpoints, such as the potential implications of Jimmy Kimmel's removal on freedom of speech, are also discussed in some sources [4].

The original statement may be considered misleading as it implies that Jimmy Kimmel apologized for his comments about Charlie Kirk, when in fact, none of the sources confirm this [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7]. This could potentially benefit those who are critical of Jimmy Kimmel's actions, as it may be perceived as a lack of accountability.
