“Do not let the Leftist Media spin the story that Kimmel’s firing is a free speech issue.”
Tell Ted Cruz, Tucker Carlson
I think those two weren’t talking about Kimmel being fired, but about the possibility of the FCC revoking ABC’s license.
What I think they miss is the fact that Kimmel wasn’t just spouting an opinion that was being censored; he was actually spouting slander. It is troublesome that 80% of the public believes that Tyler was a conservative, even though there have been numerous press conferences or other official communications that make it clear that is not the case.
If violating the terms for their license (serving the public good) is censorship, then why does the FCC require licenses? Are Tucker and Cruz saying that requiring licenses in order to broadcast is censorship, since companies should be allowed to have a license even if they destroy the public good rather than serve it as the license requires?
It’s a discussion worth having, but I think people are talking past each other.
In Britain NOBODY is allowed to say what the masters don’t want. In the US that was also the case until Elon Musk bought X. Jimmy Kimmel can still say whatever he wants, just not on a station that requires an FCC license. The FCC license is supposed to mean SOMETHING, isn’t it?
I like Ted Cruz. But when he gets something wrong, he gets it waaay wrong.

Sane Americans know the left doesn’t know truth so Kimmel is irrelevant because likeKJP we know he is a puppet and not funny. I like knowing who the biggest lying tools of the left are.
Trump should fire him. From a canon.
I hope Jimmy Kimmel is getting a great present for Brendan Carr.
