[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]From a different thread, I am sharing my own post.

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. [/quote]

He said the murderer (Tyler) was MAGA. [/quote]

So did the kid's grandmother. [/quote]

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

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.[/quote]

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. [/quote]

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. [/quote]

YOU wanted to play this game. Don't cry now.[/quote]

I'm so tired of MAGA false equivalence and gaslighting.[/quote]
