Among the things the head of the Federal Communications Commission said: "Our goal and our obligation here is to make sure that broadcasters are serving the public interest,”. The Federal Communications Commission was heavily involved in Kimmel’s suspension.
^To me, that’s shocking. I think you should be able to say offensive things, downright untrue things on a public broadcast without government penalty. It’s not the government’s job to step in if someone is wrong and try to correct them. You should be allowed to speak loudly, even if you’re wrong. Many people died for that right. Many people elsewhere died without ever having the right to say whatever they wanted.
So what do you value more, freedom of speech or the government being able to censor to serve the public interest?
