Can Jimmy Kimmel file a first amendment lawsuit? It depends on one thing

There is no free speech. There is no universal healthcare. There is no social housing. There is no basic economic rights. There is no limit on military spending and corporate welfare. There is no democracy. There is only oligarchy, inequality, and corruption in the United States.
So leave go live in Cuba
 
Kimmel doesnt have case. His ratings have been dropping, he exposed the network to a civil suit with a lie, the advertisers complained, they are losing money, there is no 1st amendment in private industry. The network wants to get rid of this loser.
 
So you’re one of those. An anti-American. Are you a traitor too?

Love it or leave it is the line traitors use.
look at the compliant *****.

But you're not a late night T.V. show host and a comedian.

1. Colbert and Kimmel are comedians — not typical employees​

They’re hired specifically to:
  • Mock public figures
  • Push the envelope
  • Satirize politics and culture
    In fact, being provocative is their job.
When Colbert said something harsh about Trump, he wasn’t violating a workplace policy — he was fulfilling a performance expectation. His bosses at CBS expected biting satire, especially political.

2. Most jobs don’t center on free-form public commentary​

If you're:
  • A teacher
  • A government employee
  • A corporate worker
  • A nurse, engineer, etc.
...then you're likely bound by:
  • Professional codes of conduct
  • HR policies
  • Speech restrictions related to your role
So saying, “If I said that, I’d be fired” may be true — but that’s because your job is not based on entertainment, satire, or political critique.

🗣️ 3. Public figures are insulated by platform and privilege

Colbert, Kimmel, and others:
  • Have First Amendment protections, yes — but more crucially...
  • They have platforms, contracts, and audiences large enough to protect them from being silenced in the way a typical employee might be.
  • If Colbert had been fired (which he wasn’t), he'd probably walk into a Netflix deal.

Meanwhile, a mid-level corporate employee speaking out on political issues might be at-will and face actual retaliation.

Bottom line:​

People who say, “I’d get fired if I said what Colbert said” are comparing:
  • 🎭 A professional performer doing satire on a national broadcast
  • 🏢 A regular employee under HR and behavior policies at a private or public organization
That’s apples to donuts — not even close.
Misdirection much?...If in fact kimmel was speaking about who was responsible here and blamed anyone other than a public figure, then that entire explanation may as well have been about how jimmy has a right not to recycle, and as far as being funny I guess that would depend on how the above felt/feels about the victim.

You must be a lot of fun at parties.
