No, but he did libel with Malice. That is a nullifying factor in Free Speech. Can't do it. You speak or print with malice and your 1st Amendment Protection no longer applies.The old fire in the theater argument, eh? Well Kimmel didn't do that, did he?
Kimmel's accusations were with Actual Malice. Easy to prove in this case. ABC would lose in Court. Bigly.

Which is why they cancelled him. They can now show that they took action to prevent further Malice and that helps immunize them from a Lawsuit.
Kimmel is done anyway. He's a One Trick Pony and people are over him.
