Groupthink and Media Bias in the Jimmy Kimmel Controversy

The discussion addresses the recent controversy involving Jimmy Kimmel and Charlie Kirk, which led to some stations pulling Kimmel's show for a period. The hosts argue that large media organizations like ABC and Disney suffer from groupthink, where employees accept narratives about public figures without personal investigation. This phenomenon is compared to the mob mentality described in biblical accounts of the crucifixion of Jesus.
