U.S. Open Orders Broadcasters to Censor Reactions to Trump https://www.benrothenberg.com/p/us-open-donald-trump-mens-final-attendance-visit-appearance-censorship-tv-booing-protest-jannik-sinner-carlos-alcaraz

Here's the key text from the USTA email obtained by Bounces:

"With respect to Broadcast Coverage, the President will be shown on the World Feed and the Ashe Court Feed during the opening anthem ceremony. We ask all broadcasters to refrain from showcasing any disruptions or reactions in response to the President's attendance in any capacity, including ENG [Electronic News Gathering] coverage."

I don't think Trump would like Liz Churchill's comment.

Trump's aggressive actions against free speech speak a lot louder than his words defending it Kansas Reflector https://kansasreflector.com/2025/04/26/trumps-aggressive-actions-against-free-speech-speak-a-lot-louder-than-his-words-defending-it/

What about deplatforming them on social media and debanking them?
If the right wing is behind all this, shouldn't they go all in like the left?

The TMZ dude voluntarily said he would fire any of his employees if they celebrated the assassination but no one asked him. He just felt guilty that his employees were caught cheering in the other room as the news broke. lol.

UCLA just took down their entire web page for their "Office of Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI)" after their "Race and Equity" Director's online comments about Charlie Kirk's assassination.

Any employee fired in California should consult an attorney to see if they can sue both his employer and the appropriate federal employee that instigated his termination.

It may be a termination against public policy (1st Amendment) as well as an unlawful interference with contractual relations by a third party. The fact the employment is at will insulates neither the employer or the interfering party from liability.

I've been out of the game for a spell but I believe that to still be accurate.

I also think every person wrongfully prosecuted by the Justice Dept. should file a malicious prosecution action against the government once the underlying case is resolved in their favor. The best plaintiffs' attorneys in the land will wait in line like they are buying Stones tickets to handle the cases. The Justice Department can't field competent attorneys to defend the cases.

Honest question, can't a private employer just claim the fired party doesn't align with the views and beliefs of the company and get away with firing anyone? Or claim they represented the company poorly/negatively?

I am not a lawyer so I really have no clue the nuances of all this

This did make me laugh. I feel like this is what most people struggle to understand, free speech doesn't mean there are no social consequences. Just means there aren't legal consequences. Say what you want but when people react you can't be surprised.

This is 100% the exact same argument left-wing wokesters made when people were getting canceled for racism or sexism or whatever. Woke MAGA is here.

I don't think people should be losing their jobs for supporting domestic terrorism. How awful.
