Bill O’Reilly on Kimmel: A Total Blackout for Non-Liberal Voices Was the Biggest Assault on Freedom of Speech in My Lifetime

EXCERPT:

O'REILLY: "So, the FCC — and there’s no denying that the Trump Administration despises people who it deems have treated Donald Trump unfairly, there’s no denying that, but the FCC says, 'Hold it. Is this in the public interest, where you have the three networks blacking out, excluding every voice that is a non-liberal, that isn’t a liberal voice?' You can’t plug a movie, a book, a recording. You can’t have a dialogue. Now, I used to be on Kimmel and Letterman and Leno all the time because the ratings were so good, and 'The View,' all the time. But that changed. And the corporations, they were fine with it. Disney led the league in it. So you’re telling me that that’s not an attack on freedom of speech? So these 400 movie stars, TV stars, 'Oh, Jimmy Kimmel, Jimmy Kimmel, oh!' Well, what about the blackout? And I’m not a whatabout guy, I'm not. That’s ridiculous. You gotta keep it in to what you’re talking about here. But there wasn't a word from the left because the left benefitted from this, and that was the biggest assault on freedom of speech I’ve ever seen in my lifetime."
