In a Republic, actually
‘Trump said federal regulators should revoke broadcast licenses over late-night hosts who speak negatively about him, a day after ABC pulled Jimmy Kimmel’s show “indefinitely” after pressure from the Federal Communications Commission chairman. Mr. Trump and administration officials have long championed free speech, but their actions — as well as their promises since Charlie Kirk’s killing — to guarantee it have been replaced by efforts to quash criticism. Congressional Democrats plan to introduce long-shot legislation to bolster legal protections for people targeted by the president for speaking freely.’


Legislation to protect free speech is long shot because of Republican opposition to free speech.
 
Ah yes, nothing says "champion of free speech" like threatening to pull broadcast licenses because Jimmy Kimmel hurt your feelings.

That's funny, especially after I just heard Hillary, talking about standardizing the penalties for Republicans using disinformation. (Mind you, disinformation to a Democrat is only expressing a different opinion) Hillary said that in some cases these differences of opinion could even be criminal. The truth is, Democrats would steal every last iota of free speech if they had their way. Today's Democrats, Marxists-Communists, can't afford to have their subjects having their own opinions. They already control our media so the next step for them is to eliminate opposition by the people. Goodbye Bill of Rights.

Equalize the programming for Prog derived and Republican derived programming on broadcast networks and we can have a good start to free speech.

Listening to your Charlie Kirk responses, it seems Prog feelings are hurt. And he is just one of many you crap on.

No one is curtailing Kimmel’s free speech. The show is ABC’s, not his. As a business, ABC can suspend any program they wish.

The left has long past simple criticism…

So since you gave me a “false news,” tell me what free speech is.

I'm surprised to hear that, I don't think I've ever given anyone a 'false news'. One would go a long way to find a sappier response. Tell me the post - link - and I'm happy to remove it if it's there.
 
Oh. I see now. I laughed at your stupidity.

I meant to do that.

It is pretty funny.

What’s funny about saying that leftists don’t understand free speech? They’ve been saying that all these teachers and journalists fired for celebrating Charlie Kirk’s horrific murder are entitled to “free speech.”

I think it's where the government doesn't determine its licence decisions by whether the speech pleases them.

Trump was talking out of his ass on that. I’ll tell ya, if he were to do that, he’d forfeit a chance in 28…

But, I remember when the left during Obama were calling to kick Limbaugh off the air, and yank FNCs license…
