"On Thursday night, Jon Stewart performed crisis hosting duties on “The Daily Show.” Although he usually anchors only on Mondays, he was pressed into emergency Thursday service as a result of the free speech controversy raging around ABC’s decision to suspend indefinitely the late-night show “Jimmy Kimmel Live!”
At one point in the show, Stewart joked with guest Nobel Peace Prize-winning author Maria Ressa that for President Donald Trump, “free speech is speech that supports the president.” Kimmel’s dismissal, which followed comments he made in his monologue about the recent assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, points to the flip side of Stewart’s surmise: speech that criticizes the president and his movement will be penalized by the government. Soon enough, it will be prohibited altogether; our civil liberties will have been executive-ordered into oblivion."
