> We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them, and doing everything they can to score political points from it Kimmel did not assert Mr. Robinson was anything he wasn't. Kimmel noted how some people are doing everything possible to distance themselves from Mr. Robinson.

  Correct, you did. You omitted the quote. If you choose to add meaning, or put words in Mr. Kimmel's mouth, that is your decision. In any case, if you think such a statement is objectionable, then you would conclude many statements made by the current president would prevent any network from putting him on air, correct?

    Yeah, when the president starts a television network, gets a broadcast license from the FCC (under which he must meet “public interest” requirements), spins up a late night program, and then begins deliberately spreading misinformation to score political points, then yes, threaten to revoke his license.

      Why are you are ignoring the question? You are creating a hypothetical to ignore it. Under your view, the networks, as they stand, should never have allowed him on the airwaves to begin with.

      How’s the state of Fox’s license look to you? Or have they never ever spread misinformation for political purposes?

        How many examples are you looking for, and for what time period? I could probably list a few dozen examples scoped to just the last 24 hours. Looking further back this is a pretty well known example https://apnews.com/article/fox-news-dominion-lawsuit-trial-trump-2020-0ac71f75acfacc52ea80b3e747fb0afe https://apnews.com/article/fox-news-dominion-lawsuit-trial-t...

        You do realize I questioned if Fox ever spread anything else than misinformation.

      The president of the USA is a de facto “public interest” position. The burden of acting and speaking in the public interest is the whole dang job.

  You do realize that Kimmel‘s show is not a news show? He can suggest whatever he wants. Like the president suggests the extreme left is responsible for Kirk‘s murder. No wait, the president didn’t suggest he claimed it as a fact. Can’t wait for his cancellation.
