I would look at the body of work actually. Which may adress legalality of what he said in no discernable way at all. Do you have an established pattern of always crying that it's my cows, peddling untruths about me and my cows? Meaning Kimmel has a track record of railing against MAGA without regard for fact. This instance may just happen to be an instance where the comment is borderline non-fact peddling on a topic any reasonable person should know not to get entagled in right now. Patterns typically can show intent??Not the best example but see what this does for you, if anything.
We're neighbors. And you're one of many neighbors who has cattle. I call you and say your cow in destroying my garden. It isn't. But I think it is. So you go through all the reasons why it is someone else's. My comment to you is, well i think it's funny that it is could be everybody's but yours.
What I am saying with that comment is I find it suspicious that you're giving me all the reasons it is someone else's rather than walking me through why it isn't yours. I am not saying the cow is yours, I am saying the way you're denying it yours is suspicious.
What do you think?
Those words came from Charlie's mouth.
You magas can spin it any way you want, it doesn't change the fact Charlie Kirk was a hate mongering racist.
You're certainly at your discretion to bring in previous conduct into the interpretation. But, at the end, it is interpretation. That doesn't mean that I called the cow yours is a matter of fact.I would look at the body of work actually. Which may adress legalality of he said in no discernable way at all.

Wow, was he really on for 22 years? Damn I’m old.According to Wikipedia, "Jimmy Kimmell Live!" premiered on ABC after Super Bowl XXXVII between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Oakland Raiders on January 26, 2003. The Bucs won big.
22 years on one of the 3 major networks is a lengthy run for a late night talk show. I don't know where it stood in the Nielsen ratings, and I don't care enough to look it up, but his viewership must have been pretty good for the show to stay on the air as long as it has.
No disagreement, but if those were his words verbatim, he's very, very borderline on that one as peddling non-fact.You're certainly at your discretion to bring in previous conduct into the interpretation.

Our brains are very adept and providing interpretation when we lack explanation.
He crossed over long ago with comments about Trump saying Neo Nazis are fine people and other such lies. All these media outlets twist crap to fit their narrative. Trust none of them.This what he said, verbatim: "We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it,” He did not explicitly say Robinson was MAGA. Folks, we are through the looking glass now.
approximating him and the non fact is a judgement call. I can understand how you get there. But again, he didn't call the shooter maga or claim he was part of maga tribe.No disagreement, but if those were his words verbatim, he's very, very borderline on that one as peddling non-fact.
Case by case? Is Kimmel really a comedian? Funny would be a pre-requisite?approximating him and the non fact is a judgement call. I can understand how you get there. But again, he didn't call the shooter maga or claim he was part of maga tribe.
Another consideration that may need further exploration is this:
are comedians expected to peddle in facts? Is that their standard?
"We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it,”
Is this an accurate print of what Kimmel said verbatum? If so, I don't follow. Seems to me Kimmel implied the kid was MAGA by MAGA's attempts to disassociate from him. Which was not a political sping on MAGA but a defense, or statement, of fact by MAGA. GRanted he didn't SAY kid was MAGA, but the implication exists pretty noticeable and blatant, however that would be legally viewed. Open to more explanation. It's thin, and he did not directly tie the kid in verbatum, but he's also walking a thin line on implied intent??
He seems to imply the kid was MAGA, or identified MAGA as his target [[hence 'hitting new lows with MAGA gang']]
...as anything other than one of them [[meaning Kimmel implied the kid was associated with MAGA]]
