Kimmell, cancelled in September, at the request of the president for remarks related to the murder of Charlie Kirk.

However, in reality, the remarks weren’t “about Charlie Kirk,” they were about how this administration is using Kirk’s death as an excuse to shut down critics … and the administration responded by proving Kimmel completely correct.

He said the murderer (Tyler) was MAGA.

So did the kid's grandmother.

His mother said he wasn’t. I’m sure there was a lot about him Grandma didn’t know

What does this matter for the issue at hand? Kimmel has a 1st Amendment right. A federal bureaucrat threatened his employer today unless ABC removed him from the air.

Big Government on steroids.

Nobody silenced his speech rights. He remains free to say whatever he wants to say.

ABC is a broadcast network, and as such it is rightfully regulated by the FCC. The comment dealt with whether ABC’s FCC licenses were in danger of being revoked by Kimmel allegedly engaging in misinformation.

Just as Fox News (a cable network, different regime) faced sanction over its speech in the Dominion lawsuit, ABC could face sanctions vis-a-vis its broadcast license if it is engaging in misinformation.

It seemed like one of the major ABC local station partners first pulled Kimmel off the air by choosing to preempt the national syndication in its markets and then ABC followed suit nationwide.

His ratings were pretty weak, and my guess is that this is really business driven but ABC now has the cover to cancel his show.

Gmafb, this is the government trying to silence political speech it doesn't like. The Dominion case was about defamation. Kimmel did not lie, Fox did.

YOU wanted to play this game. Don't cry now.

I'm so tired of MAGA false equivalence and gaslighting.

And then Kimmel grew up and apologized, while Trump and MAGA try to drag the country backward.

Actually I remember going through all this after the 2020 election and covid BS. I was in a "conservative" Facebook group that wasn't even discussing anything controversial and it was shut down anyway. Remember Parler? That was shut down too. Plus, a lot of covid stuff shut down as "misinformation", which later turned out to be TRUE. As far as I'm concerned, spare me the theatrics.

Yes, there was a large discussion about the threats to free speech in 2020 which resulted in the Harper’s letter, signed by a ton of prominent people on the right AND on the left.

Yeah, and? Federal government threatened social media during the Biden administration to censor speech and democrats merely shrugged.

You set the precedent. Cry harder.

I guess MAGA doesn’t want people on Tv who tell the truth and are funny

The COVID stuff was misinformation. You were literally killing each other with Ivermectin and refusing the vaccine.

That was not GOVERNMENT infringement, you absolute muppet.

A private business shut down your group. Parler was acquired and shutdown by the owners. None of this was the government. The 1st amendment, ie. Free speech, is about GOVERNMENT infringement on free speech. Private businesses are not governed by the first amendment. They do not owe you free speech.

Oh look. Another OPINION.

Did the Biden administration threaten Facebook with the corporate death penalty if it didn’t shut down your little group?

Parler’s owner shut it down because it wasn’t a viable business.

Always thinking you’re in the right. But you’re not. The vaccines didn’t do anything. They didn’t stop the spread and you know it.

Heck this site still has covid era pinned posts on some forums (check travel)

It’s only ok when your side does it.
