Do you understand Kimmel stated a lie as fact and opened up anyone who aired the episode to a slander law suit.  It would just be a lawsuit won by Kirk’s family.  Free speech doesn’t mean no consequences for lies and slander.  Do you get that?

 Christopher Anders, director of the Democracy and Technology Division at the American Civil Liberties Union, said:
 
“Jimmy Kimmel is the latest target of the Trump administration’s unconstitutional plan to silence its critics and control what the American people watch and read. Cowering to threats, ABC and the biggest owner of its affiliate stations gave the Trump FCC chairman exactly what he wanted by suspending Kimmel indefinitely and dropping the show.
“This is beyond McCarthyism. Trump officials are repeatedly abusing their power to stop ideas they don’t like, deciding who can speak, write, and even joke. The Trump administration's actions, paired with ABC's capitulation, represent a grave threat to our First Amendment freedoms.”

This action by the Trump administration comes just two days after President Donald Trump sued the New York Times, the book publisher Penguin Random House, and four New York Times reporters for news reporting and analysis that the president disliked. It also follows other national broadcasters changing their programming after pressure from the Trump administration, and with business pending before the FCC.

Kimmel was a Leftist mouth piece, just like Colbert and went too far by spreading outright lies, got what he deserved and now he's whining.

Why do Leftists always play the victim when they did it to themselves ?

Maybe we should send him a gift.

Maybe we should send him a gift.

It will be interesting to see if and who files a lawsuit. Might be a big windfall for Kimmel? But I don’t see how if Kimmel was pushing lies as fact.

If Kimmel had gotten fired because he said Jews were behind the shooting, would you still be angry at Trump?

Or is it more about hating MAGA than caring about what's true?

The Left caring about what's true?

That's a joke.

[ANNEE]

Nope.

Jimmy Kimmel is a guy who got caught lying and his bosses decided they weren't going to finance his lies anymore.

He isn't funny.  He isn't honest.   He isn't employed.    It's just that simple.

Explain this big lie.

I dont even like Trump's support of Israel.  Seems the type that would try to get a statue of himself on The Temple Mount at some point. Like he uses Israel.

So yes, total bias, but i no longer give a damn about pretending to maintain the illusion there is a useful center in this world. 

Unless you want to meditate under a tree to let go of your attachments to suffering. Which is boring.

** And its not that he lied, its that the party of baseless accusations and victim cards (to mislead the public for an agenda) are now casting stones to avenge cancel culture and feed the beast of retribution... because they had to learn pronouns once, and get cancelled if they didn't go hold hands and skip with a transperson.

Explain this big lie.

Made false claims the shooter was MAGA to politically smear a group of people.  If Kemmel didn’t lie and seek to political smear a group of people he’ll have an easy day in court and a windfall.

Something I've noticed about people sticking up for Kimmel....

They don't mind being lied to, as long as that lie fits their pre conceived notions of "The Truth".

It must be true because they want it to be true.
It's not their fault for lying on national TV, it's someone else's fault for calling them out on it....and it's a pattern. No one on the Left is responsible for what they say or do, it's *your* fault for noticing.
