Do not let the Leftist Media spin the story that Kimmel's firing is a free speech issue.
ABC dumped Kimmel because the affiliate stations were going to stop airing Kimmel's garbage.
Bingo.
“Do not let the Leftist Media spin the story that Kimmel’s firing is a free speech issue.”
Tell Ted Cruz, Tucker Carlson
Well…
There IS that little thing about some guy at the FCC hinting that the nebulous “public interest standard” and “serving local communities” isn’t being met.

PBS is all over the free speech angle. The rank and file left are clueless, by design.
They will ALWAYS slander and lie about Jesus.
Keep conversing, keep loving. Begin relationships. That’s what evangelizing means.
The left is winning the spin - “Kimmel was fired for his free speech” - and the right is feeding the beast - “That’s because he lied and is hateful.”
They’re both wrong. This is business decision. Nexstar announced a $6.2 billion acquisition of rival Tegna, which would give it 64 additional news stations in 51 markets to go with the 200 owned and partner stations it already has, and bring the company’s market coverage of the U.S. to about 80 percent. And current FCC rules cap any one company’s share at 39 percent.
To be fair, the deal requires regulatory approval and the FCC Chairman has been clear about his views. Nonetheless, any CEO would likely make the same decision to effectively fire Kimmel. To do otherwise would risk a shareholder lawsuit claiming breach of fiduciary duty.
I doubt the Founders would want the govt to have any say in a private transaction between firms. But until the FCC is defunded, this is where we are.
Kimmel lying is protected speech. That’s why the angle being used is that Kimmel violated the “public interest standard.” However, that standar is not well-defined. . You can drive a truck through it.
I believe Kimmel knew which way the wind was blowing, and he intentionally cranked up his vective to provoke management in order to achieve martyrdom. Kimmel is now the toast of leftism, he will get paid out of his contract and the only people getting screwed is the support staff (clearly leftists don’t care about “the little people”).
There’s also the fact that “joking” about a recent political assassination, is never funny, never appropriate and is vile.
As was mocking president Trump for his statement of grieving for his assassinated friend.
Of course Kimmel was sneering at the murder of a political opponent, he’s a leftist and thinks it’s funny when we’re killed.
Do not let the Leftist Media spin the story that Kimmel’s firing is a free speech issue.

Was Kimmel a frequent flyer on the Lolita express?
Jimmy Kimmel’s First Amendment rights are not in the least impaired, he is just as free as ever to make any kind of assertion he wants. But he, like just about every other “private” citizen, has no right to be taken seriously, or avoid the consequences of that assertion or point of view.
If what he says is taken by another to be slander or libel, consequences can be serious, and sometimes pretty swift.
ALL Democrats are EVIL!
Political opinions or accusations dont belong in a “comedy show” If he comes back, they should name his show for for what it is.
I punched the “people getting fired for shooting their mouths off about Charlie Kirk” button on my Democrat next-door neighbor and immediately got some BS about the FCC.
They’re effing programmed zombies.
