Is Free Speech Over in America?
Manage episode 508006274 series 3658149
We recorded this episode before Disney announced Jimmy Kimmel’s return to late night — but the bigger issue hasn’t gone away. Is free speech under fire in America? Media lawyer and author Ian Rosenberg joins us to break down what Kimmel’s suspension reveals about the First Amendment, government pressure, media corporations, and censorship in America.
Even though Jimmy Kimmel is coming back on air, the chilling effect of political interference and corporate caution is real. Free expression is at risk, and what happened here could set a precedent for future cases.
📌 In this episode, we cover:
Why Kimmel’s suspension matters for the future of the First Amendment
How political pressure influences corporate media decisions
The difference between legal free speech protections and cultural censorship
What comes next for comedians, journalists, and creators
