The Trump administration weaponized the regulatory powers of the federal government to punish speech it doesn’t like. This is a favored weapon of modern autocrats. What just happened shows how far down the authoritarian road the United States has traveled in just eight months.
During a Wednesday podcast appearance, FCC head Brendan Carr threatened to revoke the broadcasting licenses of any stations that continued to air Kimmel’s content.
“It’s time for them to step and say this garbage…isn’t something that we think serves the needs of our local communities,” he said.
Carr’s threat should have been toothless. The FCC is prohibited by law from employing “the power of censorship” or interfering “with the right of free speech.” But Nexstar — the largest owner of local stations in America — is currently attempting to purchase one of its major rivals for $6.2 billion — a merger that would require express FCC approval.
To get FCC approval, Andrew Alford, the president of Nexstar’s broadcasting division, said that Kimmel would not be broadcast from Nexstar’s stations. Without access to Nexstar’s roughly 200 stations — covering about 39 percent of the national market — Kimmel would suffer an enormous ratings blow. And so, shortly after Nexstar’s announcement, ABC/Disney announced that he’d be suspended indefinitely.

Why does Trump hate Kimmel? For the pretty obvious reason that Trump is absurd, which makes him perfect material for a comedian. Start at 2 minutes when Trump is asked about Charlie Kirk.

Awwww. And you still think the media wasn't controlled before?
Your willful ignorance is somewhere between laughable and disgusting.

How Jimmy Kimmel became Trump’s nemesis
The former Man Show host has gone from the least political voice in late-night to a victim of the war on woke.

ABC pulled late-night host Jimmy Kimmel off the air “indefinitely” Wednesday night following pressure from the Federal Communications Commission over comments Kimmel made on the suspect apprehended for the killing of right-wing podcaster Charlie Kirk.
Kimmel’s suspension comes after a monologue Monday night in which he said, “We hit some new lows over the weekend, with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them, and doing everything they can to score political points from it.” Many read this as Kimmel implying that the shooter himself was right-wing.
Late-night talk show monologues are supposed to be funny, not rigorous journalism. It’s very unusual for a comedian to be suspended because of one, and it’s clear that Kimmel would not have been suspended if President Donald Trump’s FCC had not put extraordinary pressure on Disney-ABC. (In this case, that pressure was applied via Nexstar Media, the largest owner of TV stations in the US, which announced it would preempt Kimmel’s show. Nexstar is currently awaiting FCC approval for a planned $6.2 billion acquisition.) On Thursday morning, amid mounting outcry over Kimmel’s suspension, it was reported that ABC “hopes to have the matter resolved and the show return.”
The whole controversy is a shocking turn both in the Trump administration’s escalating war on its critics and in Jimmy Kimmel’s once pointedly apolitical career. Kimmel, after all, has spent most of his career embodying one archetype: regular American straight white dude. What could be more harmless and less controversial than that?
Kimmel started his career as a comic and radio host, an approachable everyman. In his first major television role as a host of Comedy Central’s Win Ben Stein’s Money in 1997, he was the audience surrogate, with his schlubby persona and his blue-collar accent an easy balance to Stein’s erudite snobbery. When Kimmel became the co-host of The Man Show in 1999, he was continuing to play the same character, only with the boorishness dialed up: leering at hot girls and circulating petitions to end women’s suffrage. In the raunch-obsessed 2000s, the crassness played as edgy: not politically correct, certainly, but the kind of thing it was assumed any man would probably do, if he could only unleash his id.
Kimmel left The Man Show in 2003 to launch Jimmy Kimmel Live! on ABC, where he dialed down the ogling but maintained his everyday dude persona. He also stayed away from talking too much politics. In those years when The Daily Show and The Colbert Report were at the height of their power and influence, Kimmel’s biggest running gag was a mock feud with Matt Damon. Regular guys, after all, are not policy wonks. They like making chill jokes about movie stars.
When the guy from The Man Show becomes Walter Cronkite
Kimmel wouldn’t start to get political in earnest until 2017, when his son was born with a rare congenital heart defect. At the time, a Republican-controlled Congress was pushing to repeal the Affordable Care Act. Kimmel lashed out in a rare emotional monologue. “Before 2014, if you were born with congenital heart disease like my son was, there was a good chance you’d never be able to get health insurance because you had a preexisting condition,” Kimmel said, adding through tears. “If your baby is going to die, and it doesn’t have to, it shouldn’t matter how much money you make.”
Later that year, Kimmel was once agai

President Donald Trump on Thursday suggested that networks should lose their broadcast licenses if their on-air talent is critical of him.
“They’re giving me all this bad press, and they’re getting a license,” Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One when asked if Federal Communications Commissioner Brendan Carr should go after other talk show hosts after Jimmy Kimmel was suspended from the air. “I would think maybe their license should be taken away.”
He added: “When you have a network and you have evening shows and all they do is hit Trump, that’s all they do — that license, they’re not allowed to do that. They’re an arm of the Democrat Party.”

Right?
Second and Ted are just pissed off that it isn't their side controlling everything anymore. In fact, they don't control ANYTHING anymore.

Not sure I understand.
How is broadcasting blatant lies, fabrications, disinformation, misinformation, delusions, and fantasies as "news" or factual reality considered to "serve the public interest," anyhow?
Gaslighting only serves Democrat National Party blue-pill Libtards.
Was The View ever actually a news program, as they claim? The Big 3 networks which still had a News Department during the 1990s shut them all down. All of these Ministry of Truth shows are all under Entertainment Department (except FOX News Channel)
Those licenses for Broadcasting content to serve the public interests could easily have those frequencies and channels granted to companies which take their responsibilities seriously.

I'm wondering if Kimmel ouster is a result of Ministry of Truth.
Albeit obviously a violation of their License or Charter, that has been SOP for decades. Could this correction have happened without Libtards creating Ministry of Truth?

Dunno.
But as for arguments about free speech, forget about the fact that the Leftists have been censoring everyone they possibly could for 12 years now.
Jimmy still has his freedom of speech. He can start a Substack. Or a YouTube channel. Or a satellite radio show. Or his own podcast. Or go work for Cable News. Everybody getting censored during Covid or the George Floyd riots did not have that same courtesy. They where shut down and banned EVERYWHERE. If they had enough money and influence, the Democrats actually used the banks to freeze their accounts. That's how Justin Trudeau in Canada also broke up the Convoy against the vaccine mandates, if you remember.
Jimmy's just not going to make tens of millions of dollars per year shilling lies and hate and peddling propaganda anymore is all.
I follow plenty of YouTube channels that get more daily views than Jimmy did on Late Night.
