Courts have said that protection includes rights against the government pressuring third parties to engage in censorship.
In a key ruling, the U.S. Supreme Court in 1963 said the government cannot create a "system of informal censorship" by pressuring private actors.

I watched until he said Kennedy was far right.  She is a libertarian. Big, Big difference. He needs to learn his subject matter.

And did you know Kimmel is in the lat year of his 48 million dollar contract and has been bleeding viewers for quit sometime?

1. Plaintiff WallBuilders sought to advertise on the side of WMATA Metrobuses to
promote its religious and educational mission, which is to inform the public about the role that the
Founders’ religious faith played in the creation of the nation and the drafting of the Constitution.
WMATA rejected the ads because they related to issues on which there are varying public
opinions. Though WMATA never identified the specific issue of public controversy that it
believed the proposed advertisements addressed, it is apparent that WallBuilders was prohibited
from advertising because its proposed ads sought to address issues of public importance from a
religious viewpoint. WallBuilders brings this action to remedy WMATA’s violation of its
constitutional rights.

All told, the Stephen Colbert-hosted show averaged 2.42 million viewers across 41 first-run episodes, comfortably outpacing ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live! (1.77 million) and NBC’s The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon (1.19 million). In the advertiser-coveted 18–49 demo, however, Kimmel surged ahead with 220,000 viewers—his strongest performance in a year—edging out Colbert (219,000) and leaving Fallon (at 157,000) in a distant third.  /////////////////////////////////////////

  tRump the snowflake truthed this

Great News for America: The ratings challenged Jimmy Kimmel Show is CANCELLED. Congratulations to ABC for finally having the courage to do what had to be done. Kimmel has ZERO talent, and worse ratings than even Colbert, if that’s possible. That leaves Jimmy and Seth, two total losers, on Fake News NBC. Their ratings are also horrible. Do it NBC!!!

He went on to say, "we can do this the easy way or the hard way."
After Kimmel's show was suspended shortly after those remarks, Carr said he was glad to see broadcasters standing up for the interests of their communities.
Trump said during a news conference on Thursday that Kimmel was fired for low ratings.//////////////a lie/////////////////////////
"So, you know, you can call that free speech or not. He was fired for lack of talent," Trump said, opens new tab.WHAT SPEECH IS PROTECTED?The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution protects free speech and other rights against government interference. Courts have said that protection includes rights against the government pressuring third parties to engage in censorship.
In a key ruling, the U.S. Supreme Court in 1963 said the government cannot create a "system of informal censorship" by pressuring private actors.
That case involved a Rhode Island agency that had threatened prosecution against book and magazine distributors who did not stop selling specific publications it had deemed objectionable. 'So installing electric chargers, putting in the infrastructure, and then we can work on policies to try and increase the electric vehicle fleet on the island.'

The Supreme Court last year said that in such cases, plaintiffs must show that the government went beyond permissible attempts to persuade and that its conduct caused them direct harm.
The court in that case refused to impose limits on President Joe Biden's administration encouraging social media platforms to remove posts deemed to contain misinformation, including about elections and COVID.AREN'T OFFICIALS FREE TO CRITICIZE KIMMEL?Yes. Trump often disparages comedians and entertainers who speak out about his policies, which is permissible.
However, government authorities cannot use their authority to suppress speech.
Legal claims would likely hinge on whether Carr was threatening ABC's broadcast license.
After Carr spoke on Wednesday, Nexstar Media Group <NXST.O> said it would stop airing Kimmel's show on its 32 ABC affiliates.

Nexstar needs FCC approval for its $6.2 billion deal to acquire smaller rival Tegna , and Carr thanked Nexstar for "doing the right thing."

As it turns out, the operators who complained about Kimmel were Sinclair and Nexstar.

The former is a useful idiot of Russian Intelligence, and the other is constantly before regulators with tricky acquisitions.

This has nothing to do with 'viewer outrage'.

  How about something Huey found

But wait.....there's more:

Win for WallBuilders:In May 2024, Judge Beryl A. Howell of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia today ordered the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (“WMATA”) to accept and run four advertisements that it had unconstitutionally rejected. The court ruled that WMATA’s ban on issue ads violates the First Amendment’s requirement that restrictions on speech be reasonable.
