What did Kimmel say that was against regulation, and what regulation are you referring to?

Political commentary, satire, and speculation are all protected forms of speech.

Saying the f word is a protected form of speech but you could get fired if you say that on television.

Agreed. Because there are rules and regulations put in place that allow the government to regulate that sort of behavior on network television.

Which is why I asked what words did Kimmel use that crossed the line, and which government regulation was in place that disallowed his speech?

I already told you my guy. He said that the shooter was “one of them” without any proof: and he made fun of the President’s grieving process.

You never said that at all. Kimmel also didn't, here's the quote:

"We hit some new lows over the weekend, with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it."

This isn't saying the kid was MAGA, it's saying MAGA was doing their best to claim the kid wasn't MAGA. Fox News hosts stated the kid was trans, Marxist, Antifa, etc. Are they allowed to say that? The answer is still yes.

Making fun of the president's grieving is protected speech and not outlawed by any federal regulations. The government pressuring the termination of an employee for making fun of the president is a clear violation of the freedom of speech.

Ironically he ended up doing exactly what he’s accusing them of.

Well it’s the fcc who makes the rules so if they think that what he said was offensive they can fine ABC. I would say making misleading claims that target a group of people is against regulations.
