#JimmyKimmel was suspended from his show this week following comments suggesting that fans of #CharlieKirk were trying to capitalize on the conservative activist’s assassination [they are]. Federal Communications Commission [#FCC] Chairman Brendan Carr called the remarks “truly sick” & suggested his agency would look into them.

Carr answers to #Trump, who’s already on record as *disliking* [despising] Kimmel’s comedy.

It’s the inevitable result of industry #consolidation that over years has built giant #corporations with wide-ranging interests.

So much for Free Speech then.

Funny how the racist thugs outside hotels aren't fussed about Free Speech issues like these, when they lie to the Journalists and say their vile pogroms are about legitimate concerns such as the Economy or 'Free Speech'

Have those journalists on safari in council states asked any of them "whose Free Speech though?"
