The problem with spreading false narratives in criminal cases

Should Kimmel have been shitcanned? I won’t comment on that. But his comments regarding Kirk’s shooter are irresponsible.

In high profile criminal cases like this, spreading false narrative taints a potential jury and complicates prosecution. A real headache for the legal system.

Probably best to leave the early speculation and conspiracies to the internet trolls rather than bring them to the mainstream.

Trump does this all the time and the left (and many on the right) understand the damage this does. To lament Kimmel getting suspended for spreading misinformation is a bit like the pot and the kettle.

People like Charlie Kirk believed the 1st Amendment protected them from consequences for their "ugly speech " as he called it.

What the 1st amendment actually protects against is state retaliation for your speech which is what happened to Kimmel regardless of how you feel about his words.
