How dumb does he have to be to say those things with everything going on?

Pretty dumb.  But when your boss tells you what to say you must say it or else. They sacrifice their own for the cause.

On social media folks freaking out about free speech....

This is NOT a free speech or 1st amendment issue.

Remind those folks that the FCC controls broadcast airways - They have guidelines - there are certain things you can't say...for example, watch local broadcast news, notice they don't drop F bombs? Notice if they play a clip with curse words, they bleep it? Did  we hear anyone in an uproar over the bleeps crying they are taking away our rights? Nope,,,,,

He was allowed to exercise free speech, no one stopped him, doesn’t mean there aren’t consequences, remember the Dixie chicks?

It's funny how the left cancelled the right for years, often because of 10-year-old tweets or simply having a different ideology, but now that they're facing immediately consequences for their awful behavior we have a free speech problem.

Exactly.

Kimmel was being paid by ABC. It's their call.

Had Kimmel did this on his social network platform, then that is free speech. It's not free speech when you are being paid to host a TV show. There are policies, rules and standards that the network have to abide by.

Kimmel actually thought he was untouchable in this instance. I bet he was really shocked with ABC having to suspend the show.

I find it difficult to understand how Kimmel and Corrola worked together on “The Man Show”. They are polar opposites. Kimmel wasn’t bad starting out. I guess he got indoctrinated and the big head. Money will do that.

I just find it hilarious that he went from exploiting the Juggy girls to lecturing the right on morality and social stances in less than 20 years.

Call ABC and complain. At least he wasn’t shot in the neck.

No, it’s not.

The Modern Legal Standard for Unprotected Speech

The “clear and present danger” test was replaced by a more rigorous standard in the 1969 Supreme Court case Brandenburg v. Ohio. This case established the current legal framework for when inflammatory speech loses First Amendment protection. The Brandenburg test is a two-pronged analysis: the speech must be “directed to inciting or producing imminent lawless action,” and it must be “likely to incite or produce such action.”

The issues surrounding free speech haven’t been addressed since this case. The internet & social media has complicated this issue as ‘imminent & likely’ are not known since what’s on the interwebs lives on indefinitely, and can incite an ‘immediate reaction’ at any time.

Of course, most employees are ‘at will’ and can be fired for any reason unless there’s another personal contract or service contract involved where other conditions have to be met.

Just to be clear, a free speech violation would be if he was arrested for what he said.  ABC has a right to terminate him like any employee.  Most in this state are at will employees.  He has a contact.  He will sue them.  They will claim they fired him for cause.  They will pay him millions of dollars to go away.  Poor Jimmy. 
 

(And to be clear, there are not many who champion free speech more than me.)

My understanding is that he hasn’t been technically ‘fired.’ They may still be paying him as an employee, and just stopped producing & broadcasting the show. Not quite clear on that part yet.

Haven’t paid attention to any of the late night shows since Leno left, and haven’t watched SNL in decades. None of them were funny any more.

Sitting here now watching Steve Harvey on family feud and thinking it’s better anyway soooo…bye bye

[AggiesAreWe]

Roseanne Barr – Fired by ABC/Disney and her hit show Roseanne canceled overnight in 2018 after one tweet. Hundreds of cast and crew lost their jobs.

Gina Carano – Fired from The Mandalorian in 2021 for social media posts that didn’t fit the Left’s politics. Dropped by her agency too.

Scott Baio- For being a MAGA suppprter. Was black balled by the elites in Hollywood and denied acting jobs.

Megyn Kelly – Fired by NBC in 2018, her morning show canceled after comments about Halloween costumes.

Dave Chappelle – Netflix employees staged a walkout and demanded his comedy special be pulled for “transphobia.” The Left tried hard to cancel him.

Joe Rogan – The Left pressured Spotify to drop him, running coordinated campaigns and advertiser boycotts over COVID discussions.

Tucker Carlson – Taken off Fox News in 2023. Liberal activists bragged about advertiser pressure campaigns that helped force him out, costing thousands of downstream jobs.

Parler – Apple, Google, and Amazon colluded in 2021 to wipe the entire platform off the internet. Tens of thousands of small creators and businesses lost income overnight.

J.K. Rowling – Blacklisted from events, attacked by activists, and pressured out of projects for speaking her mind.

Mike Lindell – MyPillow pulled from major retailers, banned from Twitter, and targeted with advertiser boycotts.

Alex Jones – Simultaneously banned in 2018 by YouTube, Facebook, Apple, and Spotify. Coordinated erasure celebrated as a model for censorship.

Patterns are clear:

Coordinated advertiser boycotts.

Public celebrations of people losing jobs and businesses.

Two sets of rules — the Left can lie (Russia hoax, Covington kids smear, Jussie Smollett, etc.) and laugh about it, but the Right gets destroyed.

Accountability only ever goes one way. The Left has spent the last decade perfecting cancel culture, destroying jobs, nuking shows, wiping platforms off the internet, and laughing while people’s lives were ruined. But sure… Jimmy Kimmel smugly lying about a political assassination? Totally fine.

 

 

 

Food for thought.

Just a few examples of a BUNCH. 

The saying what goes around comes around. Back then I warned everyone what the Obama and Biden administration where doing was setting a precedence folks would not like. 

And his viewership........tanked

Roma Downey, Dean Cain, Kirk Cameron, Dennis Quade, and Kevin Sorbo have actually done well bucking the trend. Of course, you can’t go without mentioning Clint Eastwood. Personally, I like all of the roles they play and/or movies & shows they produce.

I think I heard Dean Cain is a police officer now & signed up for ICE recently.
