US President Donald Trump suggested that some TV networks should be licensed by supporting US broadcasting regulators in a row through the suspension of ABC host Jimmy Kimmel.
Disney’s Network announced on Wednesday evening that comedians are being attracted “indefinite” due to his backlash against his remarks against the conservative influence of Charlie Kirk.
On Monday, Kimmel said that the suspect suggested that the suspect was a Republican Republican, but Utah’s authorities insisted that the gun was “a left -wing ideology.”
ABC lived Jimmy Kimmel! After the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), he threatened his remarks in the air.
Trump talked to reporters about this issue while returning from the British visit to the Air Force 1 on Thursday.
The president said, “The network was 97% and 97% negative, but all seven swing status in last year’s elections,” the president said.
“They only provide me bad publicity. The media. My words are being licensed. I think they are stealing their licenses.”
Kimmel at the age of 57 said in a monologue on Monday, “Maga Gang” said, “I am trying to score political points.”
He also likened Trump’s response to the 31 -year -old political truster’s death.
After shooting, KIMMEL went to Instagram to criticize the attack on Instagram and send “love” to the KIRK family.
FCC chairman Brendan Carr said in an interview with Fox on Thursday that Kimmel’s stop is not “last shoe.”
“We will keep these broadcasters responsible for the public interest,” he said.
“And if the broadcaster doesn’t like a simple solution, you can switch the license to FCC.”
The FCC has the regulatory authority for local broadcasters with licenses, such as ABC, and can penalize such stores against serious violations.
However, this organ has limited permissions for cable channels such as FOX or MSNBC and has no permissions for podcasts or most streaming content.
Law scholars say that the first amendment of the US Constitution, which protects the media’s media, will prevent the FCC from legally canceled licenses based on political inconsistency.
Joe Strazullo, a late night writer who worked in Jimmy Kimmel Live! Since 2015-21, Los Angeles’ BBC has said that there is a fear of the artist’s room.
“It’s painful to see the threat of work ending,” he said. “I touched the base and no one was still working on the scenes without knowing exactly what was happening.”
KIMMEL’s suspension said Nexstar Media, one of the biggest owners of TV stations in the United States, will not broadcast his show for the near future.
Nexstar said his remarks about KIRK, “I’m unpleasant and insensitive to important time in national political discourse.”
CARR praised NEXSTAR, which has been approved for FCC for the merger of $ 6.2 billion (4.5 billion pounds) with TEGNA, and said that other broadcasters hope to follow the state.
Sinclair, the largest ABC affiliate group in the United States, said it will broadcast a special commemorative program for KIRK during the original time slot for KIMMEL’s show on Friday.
Kirk, a famous conservative and two father Kirk, was shot by his neck on September 10 at the University of Uta Valley in Olem.
His widow, Erika Kirk, was nominated as a new head of Turning Point USA, co -founded by her husband on Thursday.
A 22 -year -old man was accused of murder on Tuesday and said the prosecution would demand execution.
The writer, actor, former US President Barack Obama and other prominent Democrats blamed Kimmel’s suspension.
President Obama said the incident represents a new and dangerous level of cancellation culture.
“After several years of complaining about the cancellation culture, the administration has now raised it to a new and dangerous level by regularly threatening regulatory measures against media companies,”
Actress Ben Stiller said, “It’s not right.”
“What Jimmy said was not hate, but the media of the media,” he added.
Two Hollywood labor unions, American writer Guild and Screen Actors Guild, have criticized the decision for violating the free language rights of the Constitution.
But others argued that kimmel’s suspension was not to cancel the culture, but responsibility.
Dave Portnoy, who founded the media company Barstool Sports, said, “Dave Portnoy, who founded the media company Barstool Sports, said,“ After discovering a lot of people unpleasant, rude and stupid stupid.
“It is the result of your actions.”
Greg Gutfeld, a late -night fox host, claimed that Kimmel deliberately misunderstood Kirk’s murder in the “activist’s” allies and friends. “
British speaker Piers Morgan said Kimmel said, “I lied about the assassin of Charlie Kirk.”
“Why are he foreseen like a free speech martyr?” He added.
However, Anna GOMEZ commissioner, one of CARR’s FCC leadership colleagues, criticized the regulator’s position on Kimmel.
“An unprecedented political violence acts should not be exploited as legitimacy for wider censorship or control,” she said.
