His statement implies that the shooter was MAGA, which was obviously false from Day 0 of the murder investigation. But that didn't stop Kimmel and many others from pushing what was obviously disinformation.
...
He absolutely did something wrong. Kimmel didn't "report misinformation," he expressed an opinion (or at worst a correct factual statement) as part of his monologue.
Agreed. Though the MAGA people are claiming the shooter wasn't MAGA. There appear to be conflicting stories, so I'm not sure if anyone has really figured that out yet. If he wasn't, and Kimmel said he was, that would be misinformation. At least in hindsight. At the time he made those comments, we really only knew that he was from a red family in a red city in a red state.
FCC should not have gotten involved. The network can fire whomever they like. That's a business decision. Government applying pressure is oppression of free speech. IMHO.
