The Kimmel scandal isn’t about Kimmel—it’s about Trump’s FCC capo Brendan Carr threatening Disney into axing an employee whose conduct Disney had no issue with. But it’s also not about Kimmel’s words.

I made the same mistake everyone did—and I have a Ph.D. in English and am a retired English professor.

My mistake wasn’t misreading late night television host Jimmy Kimmel’s supposedly controversial public words in the wake of his indefinite suspension by Disney.

My mistake was not reading them at all.
