Sinclair can cut the show if it wants, but sending a demand letter like this is exactly what so many ppl on the right railed against the left doing.

It's not a good look. It's petty. Just cut the show and be done with it. ABC was probably going to cancel the show once Kimmel contract was up anyway. Late night is a massive loss leader now.


An ABC affiliate telling ABC what will need to happen for them to continue broadcasting an ABC show isn't petty.

You mean the standard that was overturned in 1969 in Brandenburg v. Ohio?



It is still very much cited today in a practical sense because it is a good point, even if not one backed up by the law.

That is because of a few things:

1) the scenario involves there NOT being a fire, therefore the person is saying something that isn't a fact.

2) By saying it you incite a reaction from the people in the theater based on false pretenses

3) It could get people hurt

So lets compare those to the Kimmel comment:

1: The shooter was not MAGA

2. He incites a reaction to the comments: lefties believe its a crazy MAGA loon, right wingers believe he is lying

3. It could promote retaliation from the MAGA wing who believe he is lying (because he was) and potential left wing bad actors are now being shown that responsibility will be abjucated from their ideology to their opposition's ideology, and when you have people killing people to advance their own agendas this actually makes the action even more effective.... you can do it without harming your own cause. So the potential for harm is there.

I feel like key piece to these 2 parts is the immediate lawlessness leading to danger of someone getting hurt.

I dont think it could be reasonably argued that Kimmel's statement could lead to immediate lawlessness.

He wasn't engaging in satire when he stated the shooter was a MAGA supporter, he was engaging in supporting violence committed by Leftists by flat-out lying about the shooter.

That's not "satire" either, it's just blatant propaganda.

If what he said becomes the standard for engaging in and supporting violence and it should result in censorship from the government we are all in trouble.

Purposely lying about a political assassination to mislead the public when there’s an obvious problem with people celebrating this that stems from lying to the public is a huge issue.

Sure it was, but frankly it's a pretty irrelevant point.

So, everything said in an opening monologue on a late night comedy show that includes a laugh track is satire? Everything?

Counter point, this is actually a step in the right direction if this becomes the new standard. We've recently been at a point where refusing to use someone's preferred pronouns has been considered violence and worthy of censorship.

bullshite. Here's the exact quote:

quote:

We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it.


At the very least, he's so heavily implying it that the difference is irrelevant.

People celebrating what happened is a moral/societal issue that doesn't need government intervention or influence.

To qualify for protection, satire typically must be understood by the average person as an opinion or an exaggerated commentary, rather than a believable statement of fact, especially when it involves public figures or public concerns.

However, satire loses protection and can be restricted if it contains a false statement of fact made with actual malice, which means the creator knew the statement was false or recklessly disregarded the truth.

He didn't present the shooter as being a right winger as a statement of fact.

Not in a legal context

In a legal context, a statement of facts is a concise, professional summary of the events, circumstances, and evidence relevant to a case, used to provide a clear foundation for legal arguments.

Examples of Factual vs. Opinion Statements
Fact: "The speed limit was 45 mph". (This is a verifiable detail).
Opinion: "He was driving recklessly". (This is a subjective judgment, not a statement of fact).
