> Kimmel was straight up spreading misinformation about the shooter.

... which is free speech, regardless of whether or not we agree with it.

But sure, I guess this sort of misinformation is fine when the president says it in support of his own ideology, but not ok when someone like Kimmel does it (and read a sibling poster's quote of what Kimmel said... that wasn't misinformation, or even false).

You're correct that defamatory speech isn't protected, but the remedy for that is a civil suit, not threats from a FCC commissioner.

This is absolutely government censorship.

And not to play the whataboutism card, but if Kimmel should be taken off the air for misinformation, then all of Fox "News" should have been taken off the air years ago.
