In the wake of Charlie Kirk's assassination freedom of speech has been a the subject of many columns, talk shows, and media reports, especially with the short-term suspension of Jimmy Kimmel by his network for comments he made about Kirk and re Fox News host Brian Kilmeade's comments on air about the killer of Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska. In the face of the cancel culture and political correctness movements, conservatives decried how liberals sought to silence or get conservatives fired from jobs. In the aftermath of the Kimmel incident, liberals decried how conservatives sought to get him fired, while liberals pointed at Kilmeade and asked if Kimmel could be suspended, why not Kilmeade? The First Amendment is about government censorship, not private consequences, so whether the Kimmel or Kilmeade incidents are protected free speech is debatable. But either way, free speech must be defended for all, not just for partisan or ideological purposes.
