EP140: Jimmy Kimmel, Charlie Kirk, Context, and Canceling - Gracearchy with Jim Babka
Jimmy Kimmel made a joke after Charlie Kirk's assassination. His critics ignored the context. Then, his show was suspended; it might even be canceled. Can we say that the Right’s rush to punish Kimmel echoed the very cancel culture they claim to oppose? In this episode, Jim Babka and Bill Protzmann *graciously* contextualize and steelman, and discuss coerced apologies, media manipulation, and the government’s role in silencing dissent. You’ll hear why the FCC’s “public interest” standard is undesirable, and how grace, not outrage, offers a better path forward.
