Coolest Alive: Jimmy Kimmel Free-Speech Flip

In this episode, Jesse Blaze Snider dives into the latest Kimmel controversy to expose a deeper double standard. When a comedian on “their side” courts backlash, the left rallies around free speech, but when others (from Trump to countless unapproved voices) face similar pressure, that principle suddenly vanishes. Jesse unpacks how the outrage machine works, why nothing has actually been proven against Trump or the FCC, and how corporate gatekeepers like Disney are actually the ones quietly deciding what the public is allowed to see. It’s a fast, no-spin breakdown of hypocrisy you won’t want to miss.
