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

[Missourian]

I also read that he was Republican & MAGA but if you remember, we didn't know anything about the shooter for days, other than the person shown on the roof appeared to be a white male of college age.

You read propaganda purposely intended to deceive you.

And that is precisely the point here.

This was intentional propaganda.

Everyone knew exactly what the motive behind this political assassination was, just like we know the two people who tried to assassinate Trump were left-wing indoctrinated loons. And we knew Biden wasn't sharp as a tack. You are being deceived.

The Left doesn't want to back off their one and only message "fascist, fascist, fascist!"

That's all they've got left.

And now that it is known that that very campaign has cost the life of a peaceful leader on the right at the hands of a deranged leftist, public sentiment and pressure will demand they tone down the rhetoric.

That is why these lying POS on the left like Kimmel are attempting the mass gaslighting.

The Trump Administration has handled this beautifully.

The more hardheaded Kimmel pushes back, the longer this stays in the news and the more the ACTUAL TRUTH about the political ideology of this assassin of Charlie Kirk is reinforced.

Not true. He has been, and his show has also been suspended, however.

Wrong. And tiresome, Lib.

Liar. What the OP wrote was absolutely true. The FCC applied pressure to Disney to suspend Kimmel.

While Biden was president the first amendment was kicked to the curb... you libs set that precedent... so stop the whining... Sinclair pressured ABC not Trump... and he is not fired he is suspended for being dishonest on live TV and grossly insensitive... ABC is taking this opportunity as a way to dump an unpopular show... Kimmel is an idiot and he did this to himself... ABC asked him to apologize to the Kirk family and his audience and Blackface refused... and he got suspended...
Everyone has free speech in America but you pay a price for it sometimes....

As you know Jimmy Kimmel was fired from ABC.
If it’s shown that government officials coerced or pressured ABC to suspend Jimmy Kimmel (or threatened regulatory action if they didn’t), then that crosses into state action , meaning ABC’s act might not be purely private. That could make ABC’s suspension count as governmental suppression of speech, which the First Amendment forbids.

Two companies that own several affiliates told ABC their viewers didn’t want to watch the hack and would preempt his show.

The idiot was already losing money. They had to cut him lose.

No. Because Kimmel's speech has not been suppressed.

I volunteer to coach HS kids in golf at our local HS... if I went on local news and went on a rant about the school... I would get fired... I have a right to say what I want and they have a right to fire me over it...

Sure.

Keep fabricating what you wish to believe.

You lying asswipe.

 

[JLW]

Yeah, a lying POS like yourself wouldn’t know the truth if slapped you in the face. You are typical MAGA goon calling others liars when you are the biggest fraud on this board.

BTW, the FCC absolutely pressured Disney to drop Kimmel, your lies not withstanding.

 

[Seymour Flops]

I am going to sue ABC for suppressing my free speech. I want to take Jimmy Kimmel's late night spot to exercise my free speech five nights per week, and their damn switchboard won't even put me through to the producers.

One of them even suggested I get an agent to make that contact. An AGENT? Since when do we need a freakin' AGENT to exercise our sacred right to free speech that ABC is suppressing?

You’re an assclown and a true reigning queen of dishonesty, JLoW. Just give honesty a try someday. It probably won’t make you burst into flames. (It might feel that way to you, though, you pathetic ****.

BTW, the FCC absolutely pressured Disney to drop Kimmel, your lies not withstanding.

Bullshit. Your claims notwithstanding, you can’t prove the crap you spew.

Cry harder my little *****.

Not only are you a liar you are incredibly stupid, Bluto. Read just about any legitimate newspaper and not the trash you apparently sop up and you will find my statement of facts are true. As a matter of fact just listen to Carr’s own comments. Not that you are smart enough to grasp what he is saying..so forget that.

 

[blackhawk]

Oh, and they just decided to fire him just as a Trump appointee threatened ABC with losing their license, but these two things are a coincidence???

Yes, as shocking as this will be for you to comprehend that could be the case his ratings were as I pointed out worse than the fired Colbert, he had been losing not only overall viewer's but viewers in the key 18- to 49-year-olds for years which leads to lost revenue and it's possible that after shooting his mouth off about Charlie Kirk that the network could have finally decided enough is enough. For a business the one color that is more important to them than red or blue is green but you and the rest of the left feel free to keep trying to pass Kimmel of as some martyr if it helps you get through the day because no matter what Jimmy will still have the millions of dollars he has made hosting a boring unfunny show and if the show is cancelled for good or he is actually fired he will start a podcast or get a show on a streaming service and amazingly he will free speech again.

You can’t accept reality.

That’s a you problem.

It does foster an atmosphere of levity, though.

Now we can all laugh at you.
