It’s an interesting issue. To play devils advocate. A company can decide what its people can or can’t say, right? Where it gets complicated is when they decide one way or another based on government threats (and particularly in a media company).
But Foxnews lies constantly and nobody cares and their defense in court was they provide entertainment….not tell the truth. I mean it’s hard to argue that Foxnews is not more misleading than Kimmel.
Of course I wish companies had more of a backbone but the real culprit here are Trump and his minions who are acting like a Ministry of Propaganda in Moscow or Beijing.
