Johnny Carson wasn't the government.

He can kick anyone he wants off his guest list for any reason.

Arguing that people don’t understand the first amendment and saying

First off ABC suspended him, he hasn’t been canceled and this isn’t a 1st amendment issue.


Makes me think you don’t understand. You conveniently didn’t address the FCC chair comments.

Saying "MAGA is trying to describe the shooter as anything other than MAGA"

is not the same as saying "The Shooter was MAGA"


It's exactly that. And I don't care how much you try to gaslight say it isn't, the facts haven't changed, were KNOWN by Kimmel, and he STILL lied so he could push his agenda.

Give it up.

Obama personally got on the phone to get Rosanne fired from her show.

Is it your assertion that every statement made on a late night show is satire?

The show itself is satire

You don't break it down sentence by sentence.

the show is a humorous performance filmed for television.

If Kimmel looks at the desk and says it is green it doesn't all the sudden go from a legal show to a violation of the FCC because he made a false statement.

Got it, so you believe that anything can be said on his show because everything is satire.

Not anything. There is still some speech that would not be protected like defamation, inciting violence, obscenity, trademark infringement.

Not the question that was asked, stay on topic.

I asked if everything that was said on the show was satire, Whether it is protected satire or not is a different discussion. We haven't gotten there yet. You claimed its a 1A violation because he was using satire. You have to prove it is satire and saying it was said on a comedy show does not prove the statement said was actually satire.

Let's try again. Is it your assertion that everything that the host of these shows say is satire, yes or no?

The comments aren’t in a vacuum. He didn’t create the joke he parroted false information he knew was false and is being promoted by violent groups who are calling for more killing. That isn’t protected.

And he spoke of the assassin as being a MAGA gang member. He’d probably think that’s defamatory wouldn’t he?

Huh? A private citizen allegedly calling for someone to be fired has no bearing on the first amendment.

So you think an unelected, private citizen should control networks but the FCC shouldn’t do its job? Thats pretty telling. Goes back to my original argument, the SMM amendment needs to be repealed though I fear both sides would be against it which is scary.
