Wejo and Rojo: Your Thoughts on Free Speech Under Trump?

Trump seems to be learning well from the nazi college campus cancel culture

Whatever goes around comes around

First of all, I have no idea why a moderator deleted this.

Jonathan Gault asked me a similar question today as we were here in Tokyo.

I vehemently believe in free speech. It was wild to me that you got banned from twitter or facebook if you talked about Covid coming from a lab or the Hunter Biden laptop or referred to a biological male as a he. I was personally not allowed to broadcast Ivy League track meets at my alma mater or Cornell where I worked for 10 years simply becuae I wrote an eidotrial sayig gender shouldn't be insports.

And i don't love the right trying to cancel free speech.

But I don't get how people think this Kimmel case is the right cracking down on speech. Fox News lost hundreds of millions in the Dominion voting case. If you report fake news, it can cost you a ton of money. Jimmy Kimmel falsely said the assasin (or implied) was MAGA which is the opposite of the truth.

I'm not sure how this lie would cause Disney to lose hundreds of millions in a lawsuit as what the financial damages (Dominions reputation was hurt and they are a business) but you never know with a jury and the Kimmel show is probably already losing a ton of money for them so they are using this as an excuse to get rid of the show (Wasn't Colbert just cancelled for financial reasons?).

Can you give me other examples of the right cancelling speech?

Correct. A corporation can pretty much delete whatever it wants for whatever reason. I believe in free speech but we delete hundreds of posts a week on here as they are racist, not doing anything positive, etc.

Come on man, we all know why a moderator deleted this.

It's the president using the FCC to pressure a cable network into firing someone who has been critical of the president historically. Kimmel didn't even say he was MAGA, just said that MAGA was desperately trying to paint the kid as a leftist even before they caught him (which is true). The Fox News situation is not at all comparable because that is a private entity suing another for defamation, and winning.

false

Mods are doing a great job here. They just took down another thread that was using fake studies from Cato Institute and FBI. F yeah!

When the left cancels Roseanne Barr, Tucker Carlson, the Babylon Bee and dozens upon dozens of others for speech its celebrated.

When late night hosts get fired for losing their employers tens of millions of dollars the left shrieks about free speech.

The left has no shame. They hate everyone who isn't in their camp and they've made it very clear they want anyone who isn't in their camp dead.

no it's not. if it is, it shouldnt be

No one pressured anyone. Kimmel ratings were already awful because he abandoned comedy to be a mouthpiece for the Democrat party.

Then, with the country on the brink of civil war he goes out and violates the FCC by blatantly lying about the killer.

He knows he was lying. He was lying for a specific reason.

An employer firing an employee for directly damaging their brand and hurting their bottom line has NOTHING to do with free speech.

It 100% was which is why the left's outrage over their favorite tactic being used against them is so delicious.

The same people squealing about free speech iver Kimmel are the same people who spend half their time reporting any and all posts here they dont agree with.

Show me a liberal who says they actually care about free speech and I will show you a liar.

Sorry, when did the left use the federal government to cancel those people?

No worse than the state of free speech at Harvard, Cal Berkeley, NYU and several hundred bastions of Marxism

Host Jimmy here.

There is a big difference between voicing your opinion and being held responsible for that opinion from hiding behind a bunch of fake names never being held accountable.
