T 2.0

Showing the video to the class? Perhaps yes, with parental approval.

Claiming he deserved to be shot? No.

Note: My opinions are based on the screenshot of the headline only. I have not reviewed the actual article nor the actual video nor the facts of this case.
What would be the purpose of showing a man getting assassinated and blood shooting out everywhere?
 
The companies have every right to do this, but this one feels like "cancel culture" to me. He's a late night TV host. He's not an educator, a health care giver or anyone in a position of authority that is subject to a strict code of conduct or professional standards. Plus what he said was pretty tame. Although, he's not funny, I don't think our comedians should be censored.
It is cancel culture. I remember several republicans suffering from it during the summer of George. Payback's a bitch.
 
Kimmel screwed up when he proposed that Kirk's assassin was part of the "maga crowd" without any evidence. And he did it in a way that could not be seen as a parody of t's hate speech as in the way that the Gavinator's support group has been doing.
Network television is legally obligated to serve the public good. One (or the FCC) could argue that lying about the political affiliation of the shooter because you're of the opposite affiliation doesn't serve the public good. How's that for a rabbit hole to go down?
