I think Rodgers can say whatever he wants.
If he heard or saw that Kimmel was on the list, then he can say that he heard or saw Kimmel on the list. If it turns out to be incorrect information, all Rodgers should have to do is show his source, and technically Kimmel’s case is against the source.
Are you or I going to be brought up on libel or slander cases because we discuss articles that turn out to be false here on FR?
Why would we be. Everyone everwhere would have to shut up and no one would talk ever again.
Kimmel is whipping it up for two reasons, I think;
1) No controversy is a bad controversy when you just want ratings
2) The media has hated Rodgers ever since he made (according to the media) controversial statements about covid and the ‘vaccines’ that they didn’t approve of. So of course he wants to take the chance to heap on the guy
You make a fair point. If you don’t want to be made fun of, lied about, etc., don’t try to be a famous person. Go be a plumber or a forest ranger.
I would draw the line at calls to violence. Otherwise, make the denial then move on. And if really bothers you, go be a plumber or a forest ranger.
