THUNDERDOME: Scott Jennings SCHOOLS Liberal Professor on Free Speech, Kimmel Suspension

SCOTT JENNINGS: You use the phrase “propaganda”, professor. And I just have to ask you, what do you consider what Jimmy Kimmel was doing every night, or what Stephen Colbert was doing by having on only Democratic guests? Jimmy Kimmel Monday night flat lied about the shooter back in the spring. He egged his audience on in cheering on the violence against and wanting kind of wishing, I think, the downfall of a publicly traded company, Tesla. Do you consider that to be propaganda? Is it good for a business?

JEFF JARVIS: Do you consider that to be free speech, Scott?

JENNINGS: You use the phrase propaganda.

JARVIS: I’m asking you. You used the words free speech before. Do you consider that free speech?

JENNINGS: I consider it to be speech. And he’s obviously free to say it.

JARVIS: Are you willing to defend that speech? In this country that defends- that will defend to the death the speech of others. Will you defend Jimmy Kimmel’s speech?

JENNINGS: Do I defend Jimmy Kimmel going on television and saying that a shooter from the left…

JARVIS: Do you defend the right to do so?

JENNINGS: he has a right to do so but he does not have the right to have a television show where he lies his ass off to the American people and attacks half this country on a nightly basis.

ABBY PHILLIP: Well, hold on- whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa
