Huh?
Try telling the truth. Charlie Kirk was assassinated. Jimmy Kimmel lied about it. ABC fired him. Pretty simple. The left are not the victims here.

Careful, your hands will cramp from clutching your pearls so hard.
This was free markets at work, not imagined assaults on free speech.
TV stations threw Kimmel under the bus, not the Trump Administration

You're wrong. The Trump-appointed FCC chair pressured ABC and they caved. This administration has masterfully used the crisis to further divide our society and undermine freedom of speech. HTH.
In honor of Jimmy Kimmel getting canceled by ABC yesterday.

It's crazy how many liberals, and even some conservatives, are framing this as a freedomn of speech issue. Since when do you have a right to just say anything and everything you want, without fear of employment repercussions? I would get fired from my job for way less. This is a man who openly fantasized about the unvaccinated being denied medical treatment by hospitals and dying painful horrific deaths. How the F was he not fired then?
Is there something I am missing? How is this a freedom of spech thing? It doesn't even seem like this is getting "cancelled". This is just being fired for being a disgusting hateful liar.

We're 26 pages in on this thread. There are videos of Brendan Carr point blank explicitly stating he had nothing to do with Sinclair and Nexstar pulling Kimmel which led to ABC suspending Kimmel. The FCC chair pressured no one. And this Carlin fellow comes in more than a day late and tries to start the straight up lies all over again. "T&P for free speech" my ass. Just turn on cnn or msdnc and skip to the end?

The talking points are out.
Jimmy "free speech" Kimmel is the new George "saint" Floyd.
From @MarkHalperin on his website today, writing about Jimmy Kimmel's suspension by ABC:
— Brit Hume (@brithume) September 18, 2025
"for years, broadcast networks shoved a one-sided cultural sermon into living rooms and told the other half of the country to smile through it. ABC ran two daily hours—“The View” and…
Roseanne had the highest rated show on television when she made a Twitter joke and was immediately fired by Disney. Gina Carano had the most popular show on streaming when she shared a social post and was immediately fired by Disney. Everyone on the left cheered.

Too late to dig out links to the info, but tomorrow should provide much info that Kimmel getting canceled was because -- without regard to the FCC -- Disney told Kimmel he needed to apologize on Wednesday night's show,…
Here’s Hakeem Jeffries threatening Fox News, on official letterhead, explicitly demanding they stop airing content he calls “lies” and “propaganda” just two years ago. https://t.co/2TA2pFgEEa pic.twitter.com/Cc9ht01amj

Gaslighting.
Assassinations are much worse for free speech than networks firing their incredibly stupid employees.
BTKAG97 said:
Who is the new troll trying to spread Democrat propaganda once again?
Carr's response to Kimmell's idiocy didn't threaten a single entity. ABC fired Kimmel due to actions taken by Nexstar and Kimmel's refusal to publicly apologize for his insensitive remark -- which ironically is a refusal to submit to leftist doctrine.

This might be the most accidentally genuine take on the whole thread. Fundamental rights are on the line and with each crisis stoked by the current administration they are gradually eroded.
Who do you think the Democrats will target first with this new power when it's their turn to control the executive branch?

I want to believe you're not this stupid but you are starting to convince me otherwise.
The point of this post was to highlight that a terrorist murdered the greatest free speech proponent of our generation to silence him and put fear into anyone that may want to follow him.
Take your gaslighting back to Reddit where you guys all sniff your own farts, we're not falling for it here.
Also this stupid act of "wait till the pendulum swings" is moronic. Did you sleep through joes entire presidency? Trump was literally kicked off Twitter and you idiots cheered about muh pRIvAte CoMpaNY rIGhtS.

This wasn't a government pressured firing. It was broadcast companies like nexstar and Sinclair telling ABC they are pissed and dropping the show. That is the majority of ABC carriers nationwide.
The administration just dog piled after the fact. All the libs must not remember all the government influence for "misinformation" during and after covid. Peddle the party lines or face demonetization comrade!

It's clear to me from reading this thread that mostly low-IQ individuals identify with the left. Understanding the first amendment is like elementary school stuff. Come on people. I'm truly surprised that some of you graduated from Texas A&M. Maybe the admission standards should be higher.
Woohoo. More reductionism to simplify complex problems, insulting half our neighbors in the process.
