That is not at all the right context. You have fabricated a context that suits some legitimate intent. The president wasn't talking at all about limited spectrum and I can't believe you keep going back there. > A broadcast that consists of 97% demonization of a people on one side of an issue that splits the country 50-50 isn't serving the interest of the public. It's almost as if you are calling for the return of the fairness doctrine (sometimes incorrectly referred to as "equal time rule")? In any case: criticism of the current government is absolutely the intent and purpose of the First Amendment. Demonization is not what happened. Just go ahead and watch/read what Kimmel actually said. It's not trying to demonize, it's a critique of the party in power misrepresenting the truth. > Anyone who's listened to him knows what he meant. I am finding it harder and harder to take you seriously. Anyone who's listened to Trump knows that he is thin skinned and abuses his power to retaliate against those who critique him. Anyone who's listened to Trump knows that he can't spell the word "spectrum" much less think about how the government should help judiciously guide civil discourse without infringing on free speech. | ||

> It's not trying to demonize, it's a critique of the party in power misrepresenting the truth. The truth, which was what in this case? (Bearing in mind what information about the shooter was available at the time of Kimmel’s statement). And who/what arbitrates between whether it’s demonization or criticism in this matter? |
