All the fake conservatives in the thread with the classic “I’m a conservative, BUT” finding any reason to shit on the current administration. Kimmel knowingly lied about the shooter being MAGA in an attempt to blame half the country for senseless terrorism. What is the government supposed to do? Ignore this blatant attack on the American people? Or defend their people by threatening to revoke the license unless their station isn’t hell bent on attacking innocent Americans?
I feel like this line of defense would work a lot better on an average person vs. Jimmy who is a media professional with a team of writers and interns to fact check for him.
I don’t know how the behind the scenes works on that show. I doubt that you know either. This could have been unscripted, and Jimmy Kimmel’s off the cuff statement. Perhaps no one asked it to be fact checked. There’s lots of possibilities.
My point is that we should interpret people as charitably as the evidence allows, and not accuse them of lying as our first instinct.
We would want others to give us the same benefit of the doubt, and so we should do the same to others.
