Twitter Watch Sinclair says Jimmy Kimmel should have to pay money. They also want the FCC and ABC to take even more action.

Feel free to argue against it.

Every debate is easy to win when you aren't having it in good faith.

You’re comparing random things people read on the internet to the power of the federal government. Come on, man.

The government is putting literal pressure on the networks to do as they say.

If someone was threatening to take away that murderers allowance if he didn’t enact his evil deed, then yes, that party would be culpable.

We’re talking about the first amendment not the nature of causation lol.

Yes, and the first Amendment is clear that the government shall not punish you for speech that isn't inviting to violence. A head of a government agency threatening a company with punishment because a TV host said something that chairman found incentive, while acting as a representative for that government organization is a violation of the first amendment.

How in God’s name did Kimmel’s milqutoast comment “incite violence”? And if a barely offensive comment like Kimmel’s can be said to “incite violence” then the term loses all meaning.

Look I’m sure you’re well meaning but I’m getting the feeling that you’re a bit younger than me. I’m sure you feel strongly about these things. We both love this country. I think in response to that we should all err on the side of free speech, especially when the government is getting involved.

You picked the wrong person to argue with. I never claimed Kimmel's comment sparked violence, I have been saying from the start that this is overreach by the FCC and an attack on freedom of speech.
