Trump has been trying to get Kimmel removed for a while for making fun of him. This was just an opportunity.
- xracy 1y agoWhat was the opportunity in that segment? Surely airing things the POTUS said is not a limitation of Freedom of the Press? The thing about the FCC threatening Kimmel for this speech, is that someone needs to identify what was problematic about the speech other than "I didn't like that he said it." I would love for someone to explain to me what the problematic part of the statement was, because I think then we could have a more substantive discussion. As is, this is pretty clearly a 1st amendment violation by the FCC chair as his statements demonstrably chilled speech (it's hard to get much clearer an example than this legally).
