The free speech equivalence is not just about shouting “fire!” in a crowded theater; Fox News are now operating at the level of setting smoke bombs off in a crowded theater - then shouting “Fire!” Fox News are operating with impunity as a party organ of misinformation, disinformation & provocation

The people who praise Charlie Kirk to the heavens & beyond can only do it by not publicly quoting what they liked about his message While people are actually sacked from actually useful jobs - so not 'podcasters' or 'influencers' - for the outrageous slur of *actually quoting Kirk* in HIS OWN WORDS
To be clear, the backpeddling & calls for a more nuanced, less vitriolic and antagonistic take on the identity of the Kirk killer by the administration, on Fox et al is because they’d been tipped off that a suspect was already in custody yesterday. Does the suspect fit the profile they’d run with?
