Jimmy Kimmel pulled from the air over false comment about Kirk murder

[WallFlowerActive]

The lying looks to be coming from both sides here,

Long way from Kimmel’s constitutional rights were violated, huh.

But Fox News is cable isn't it?
Jesse Waters wouldn't last an hour on broadcast,
Trump could go on a broadcast show then get the FCC to cancel their license.*

*Whoops! I probably shouldn't give him any ideas

See: The truth is there's little the government can do about lies on cable

And until slander laws are tightened up in the USA politicians are going to keep lying about each other.  But slandering a none public person is well established and enforced.

Remember when the mainstream media threw Nicholas Sandmann to the wolves? Throwing a 17 year old under the bus at the alter of identity politics.  I see a pattern.

That is not known. Did his contract explicitly say he could not make any opinions about politics? If not, then suspending his show indefinitely equals being fired may violate his 14th amendment rights. Of course, he would have to prove the state's or government infringement. But it all centres around what wording in his employment contract.

So, you see, a many layered onion when it comes to free speech and worker rights.

He.

Lied.

Deliberately.

He.

Lied.

Not if he believed that the shooter's upbringing was seeped in MAGA ideology and that somehow also played a part.

Trump said back in July that Kimmel would be next .. how about  that .
Wonder if he had any other predictions

Ignore facts all you want.

It's what the left excels at.

I hope it's about space vampires (from outer space)

He gave an opinion which someone with an agenda didn't like and his freedom of speech was taken away. 

His and the opinions of others' will never be silenced, so Trump trying to silence his critics and disrupt his demonizing of the left will all be for nothing.

Ignore that fact all you want but from what I see there is anger brewing when freedom of speech is messed with there by the government.

And no one has an obligation to listen.

Grow up.
