The Silence Around Black Journalists' Cancellations Makes The Jimmy Kimmel Outcry Ring Hollow

[CozyMystery]

4. A large part of the Kimmel situation

was that federal government pressure caused ABC and Disney to cancel him. Why? The federal government did not like what he said about a political operative.

I read the article in this post, and I didn't read anything about *government* interference in the First Amendment right to free speech.

I am not going to look up each of the incidents that happened to the Black journalists. It could very well be that they were fired because they are Black. This is not something I am going to assume, although it is inviting to do so. The fact is that there are Black journalists who are fired for cause or for reasons other than racism, and there are those who are fired due to racism on the parts of their employers.

The problem with making assumptions without enough facts and evidence is that is that it points directly at a biased opinion at a time when facts are needed. I certainly have that bias which causes me to jump on the racist and unfair bandwagon, but I just can't. I take a wait and see attitude, which unless someone uncovers straightforward facts about it, will probably always just sit there inside me. Now if someone qualified to investigate, and credible, researched this and found factual proof, I'd be right there on that bandwagon.
