This is my old office, and they just took an embarrassing loss when a jury acquitted a man of allegedly assaulting a federal ICE agent.
I’m guessing there are going to be other defendants now choosing to go to trial rather than plead.

Disney/ABC did not wait for the FCC hammer to fall — they chose, instead, to obey in advance.
But, even then, the corporate lackeys lacked the courage of their capitulation — failing to offer any explanation or defense of their surrender.

Displaying its muscle-memory for cowardice, ABC caved to state threats of investigations, retaliation, and regulatory f*ckitude. It was yet another episode of corporate capitulation, in the vain hope that sacrificing free speech will make MAGA eat them last

The whole idea pushed by conservatives that liberals are censorious and right-wingers are liberty-loving free-speech champions has always been bunk. Go back to McCarthyism. We're now seeing their true colors, with this cancel crusade that's using state power to suppress speech they don't favor.

Let’s be clear: This is government censorship. The government is telling, through pressure, private corporations what they can and cannot say and air.

But I will say that those extreme views were not in my White House. I wasn’t embracing them. I wasn’t empowering them. I wasn’t putting the weight of the government behind extremist views.
