Claims and stances

  1. 0:00 Yeah, Gaines, this is a very interesting um topic here.
  2. 0:04 I think that at the end of the day the media should not be able to censor people as much as they have been able to at the moment.
  3. 0:12 I think that um certain platforms and things um censor people way too quickly just because they don't agree with what they said or something they said is uh slightly crunk controversial.
  4. 0:26 And I think this kind of goes against um our freedom of speech that we're guaranteed here in the United States.
  5. 0:32 I think obviously um when you say thing when you post things like slurs or threats to specific people, um I think those things are very bad.
  6. 0:42 I do not agree with that, and I think that those people um should be censored by the media, and I think that those instances are like the one thing that you can censor people for.
  7. 0:52 But I think that even if a topic or a statement is controversial, I think that people have the right to say what they want to say, and that is guaranteed with our freedom of speech here in the United States, and I think that I don't think it was really right for Jimmy Kimmel to be taken off his show for whatever period of time for his comments on um Charlie Kirk's assassination.
  8. 1:14 And I don't think that the media should be able to censor people um when they say something slightly controversial and it sparks like a little conflict.
  9. 1:24 I think that that is part of what um being American is.
  10. 1:30 I think that we should be allowed to speak up and present these topics and even if they're controversial, it may help us get through these conflicts and disagreements by creating um conversations.
  11. 1:41 So I think that uh the media needs to calm down a little bit with their censorship.
