Free Speech being attacked by Trump and it is losing the battle

[Hollie]

It so happens that Biden was not doing it and even if he was (which he wasn't), it was not a political bias issue. The only thing that Biden was accused of (in this respect) was regarding the Covid vaccines.

Trump is acting like a dictator, which will take ALL OF OUR freedom of speech on anything that Trump does not like.

Talking about normal folks, who can be called normal who wants a dictator running the country?

The " dictator" slogan is getting old, little lady. Your Nazi wannabes need some new slogans.

ABC suspends Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night show indefinitely over his remarks about Charlie Kirk’s death​

This action was done by Brandon Carr (Secretary of the FCC - appointed by Donald Trump).

What makes this action even worse is that Carr has been a strong proponent of Free Speech in the past, and here he goes and attacks Free Speech.

Here are Carr's comments in the past about Free Speech

In 2019 he said: "Should the government censor speech it doesn't like? Of course not. The FCC does not have a roving mandate to police speech in the name of the 'public interest'".

In 2023 he said: "Free speech is the counterweight—it is the check on government control. That is why censorship is the authoritarian’s dream".

In 2024 he said: “A lot of social media companies have embraced, or re-embraced, the idea of free speech online, I think Elon Musk and X had a great deal to do with that. I was pleased to see Mark Zuckerberg and Facebook join him, but clearly there’s more we can do.”

Now and after this suspension of Kimmel was done, this was Carr's comment" "Local broadcasters have an obligation to serve the public interest. While this may be an unprecedented decision, it is important for broadcasters to push back on Disney programming that they determine falls short of community values. I hope that other broadcasters follow Nexstar's lead."

This OP is not about Kimmel himself. I never was a fan of Kimmel as I am against all extremes and Kimmel was all about Trump every show. Too much (in my opinion). Nonetheless, first was Steven Colbert and now Jimmy Kimmel and who is next?

Here is the comment from the ACLU after this event:

This OP is about Free Speech, which is a right given to us by the Constitution and one we have strongly defended throughout the lifetime of our country. Now, that Free Speech is being attacked and is losing the battle.

I think this is wrong.

I think you're a low functioning retard.

Your own cut an paste spells out. "

Russia, Russia, Russia. Move on to your newer conspiracy theory.

And suppressing any opinion that was contrary to the administration on COVID isn't political?

Suppressing the crackhead's laptop a month before the election wasn't political?

Do you even listen to yourself before you type these absurdities?

It was not the administrations opinion but of the CDC (medical study). BIG DIFFERENCE.

The administration was trying to support the medical evaluation made and as such, it was not an issue that had to do with the Constitution, political advantage, or even with individual freedom. Each person could still make their own decision whether to get vaccinated or not, meaning that no one would lose their freedom because of it.

Here, if Trump is successful in not allowing Freedom of Speech, each person can be put in jail if they say something that Trump and the Far Right do not like.

again, BIG DIFFERENCE

Sorry loon, whether COVID was a leak from the Fauci funded lab or from bat soup was an opinion. And 100% political.

You are absolutely blind-by-choice and a rabid hater of 50%+ of the voting population (Democrats and Independents).

If you think it was political, it would mean that Trump and the Republicans were AGAINST the Covid vaccines.

Then explain this:

 

[westwall]

I am not crying. Americans (other than supporters of Trump that want a Dictator) are crying

You were silent when it was conservatives being silenced, so **** you and your crocodile tears.

I think this is wrong.

We can still have freedom of speech and I'll be fined or arrested for can we? But if you go to your job and you lie to everybody, and spread fake news, and if you get fired for it, would that violate Free speech or would that be something else? There are certain things you can call black people or other people on TV otherwise you'll get in trouble. Is that the only limitations we have on free speech? Think about it. Or should we be able to say anything, even fake news and attacks without consequences?

And you poopyhead. Thanks for the intellectual discussion

Alex Jones has been talking about civil war for years. His audience loves it. Now you’re going to pretend that talk is some existential threat?

That’s how you know it’s pretext.

It's not the TALK, that is the relevant point you moron.

It's the real and increasing political conflict that is clearing on an escalating path, that could lead to civil war.


The "talk" is cited as evidence of the trend as people are becoming increasingly aware of the danger.


And my point was, that in such a time, a network that continues to fan the flames of division and hate, as the abc was doing with kimmel, is a bad corporate "citizen" and should be treated as such.

Your inabilty to...think is noted.

So we ditch the first amendment and ban any show that says mean things about Trump. That’s where you want to take this?

I like how you change my point from "civil war" to "mean things about trump".

When lefties lie like that, I know I have kicked their asses.

 

[Moonglow]

Trump can't wipe his own ass he is so fat.

It’s what Trump said. Feel free to disavow the statement of your dear leader and criticize his attack on the first amendment.

Or don’t because he owns you.

Your violent divisive rhetoric is going to lead to a civil war.
