ABC has removed Jimmy Kimmel from the wind To make disgusting comments about Charlie Kirk’s recent murder. Does this attack free speech, as some of his supporters are accusing?
No, which is called accountability. Kimmel is completely independent of spewing her leftist atrocities, but the ABC is also free to decide that such a vitriry rating is not good-and to send her packing.
American is arguing on free speech. Good. It is important that our dedication to this necessary right should not compromise politics or lost in the heat of the moment. Of course, it is not to say that the current discourse is politics-free. Far away from
Sen Elizabeth Warren (D-Mas) was angry about Kimmel’s ax, Posting on X: “Trump Silenting Free Speech prevents our democracy.” Although it is true that Brendon Carr, FCC Head, hatred Kimmel’s comments and threatened FCC vengeance dangerously, he did not really interfere. Instead, he is going to do broadcasting companies “to take action on Kimmel, or further for FCC.” No comments, According to many peopleRun for the first amendment.
During the epidemic, the same cannot be said for the censorship of disgruntled voices by the former President Joe Biden’s White House. Social media platforms were ordered to cancel and abolish those people in protest against the government’s infiltration vaccine mandate and school shutdown. This huge censorship came from thanks for the purchase of Twitter of Elon Musk and after the so-called release. Twitter filesit was Later confirmed Straight by Meta Head Jeff Zuckerberg.
The revelations did not disturb the Democrats such as the Senate minority leader Chak Shumor (DN.Y.), which was particularly silent on the Twittergate scam, but like Warren, angry about Kimmel’s removal. New York Senator Posted on X: “America means a stronghold of free speech. In the political spectrum, everyone should speak to stop what is happening with Jimmy Kimmel. It is about protecting democracy.”
Even he is enacting a law, which he is called the Free Speech Protection Act, which irony is that the irony is that social media platforms would ban federal force on the platforms – exactly the misconduct was done by the Biden Wi House.
But let’s look back at 2023, when Shumar Demand that Fox News Tucker takes Carlson away from the wind, The right -wing media claimed “the truth”, claiming the personality. ” So, free speech for me but not for you.
Hillary Clinton, In a disclosure interview On CNN, said: “If social media does not medium, we lose total control.” And there you have the real reason, do not tolerate liberal free speech.
These are dangerous times. Support for free expression Is refused In young people, a growing number that believes that controversial speech can be dangerous and that it is acceptable to use violence to close disgusting speech.
They should look at Europe, where the free speech is actually attacking. Arrest recently In London of an Irish comedy writer, who posted a snide comment about “a trans-guen”, has stopped a warm conversation about trying to control a speech in that country. JK Rowling, the famous Harry Potter Author Joe is Family “canceled” due to its anti -transgender ideasPolice action said “Omnipotentism,
In another recent case, one Britain named Lucy Konoli 31 months sentence was sentenced in jail For a tweet about migrants who were considered racist and inflammatory. Recently, the courts have been sentenced, many people have reduced the state’s rift on speech, called it tyrannical and Konoli described as a “political prisoner”.
Britain is not alone. In the previous spring, the editor of a publishing Doussland courier with a close relationship with the right -wing option of Germany for Germany was “abused, slander or a seven -month suspended punishment for slander or defamation against individuals in political life.” His crime? He posted and posted a picture of the internal minister of Germany, with an indication that read: “I hate the freedom of opinion.” He was found guilty of violating a law that protects political data from criticism.
According to these standards, almost all people in the US may get into trouble.
After Kirk’s assassination, Attorney General Palm Bandy, angry that some young people were celebrating the death of conservatives, threatened to go after those whom she calls “hatred speech”.
In a podcast with Katie Miller, the conservative wife of White House Associate Stephen Miller, Bondi Said, [for hate speech]”In addition, he swear that he and his colleagues” would “target you, go after you, if you are targeting anyone with abusive language.”
Critics on both left and right took on social media to explain that there is no “indecent language” exception in the Constitution; For example, any prosecution of people who say unpopular or disgusting things will be unconstitutional. It is a long time in America the standard that you are disgusting and independent of spewing unpopular opinion. As the terrible is that someone has to listen to garbage to our country or public figures, their right to do so is preserved by the first amendment.
In response to Bondi’s threat, the team of Foundation for Individual Rights and Expressions, a Nonpartison Group, whose advisory council I sit on the council, wrote Why “Carving an ‘indecent language’ exception for the first amendment is very dangerous.” This not only gives the government the power to decide what the disgusting speech is, but to punish it. And this dual empowerment essentially provides facilities for attacks on the right to discontent, criticism and to be accountable, which is also in power. The federal speech is nothing more opposed to what America stands compared to enabling the police.
Free speech helps in guarantee of free people. Kirk, unlike his opponents, advocated that freedom. The protection of his speech we can all hate, it is absolutely correct: “The vulgar language does not exist legally in America,” He said. “There is ugly speech. There is a gross speech. There is evil speech. And it is all preserved by the first amendment. Keep America free.”
They are words and to live and rule.
