Trump says TV networks ‘against’ him should ‘maybe’ lose licence after Kimmel suspension

US President Donald Trump suggested that some television networks must have “taken” licenses, as the US Broadcasting Control Authority, respectively, supported the suspension of the TV host late at night, Jimmy Kimmel.

ABC pulled the comedy from the air “indefinitely” after his remarks about the killing of conservative influencer Charlie Kerk in Uta last week.

Kimmel seems to indicate that the suspect was in Trump. However, officials said it was “colored with leftist ideology.”

ABC dismantled the offer after the Federal Communications Committee (FCC) chaired by one of Trump, and threatened organizational work – raising fears that the Trump administration reduces freedom of expression to its critics.

Trump talked about the case to reporters on Air Force One on Thursday while returning from a government visit to the United Kingdom.

“I have read some of the places where the networks were 97 % against me, again, negative 97 %, however they won and ease [in last year’s election]The president said.

“They only give me bad advertising [and] Weaken. I mean, they get a license. I think their license may be taken. “

In Monuhouj on Monday, Kimmel, 57, said that the “Maga Gang” was “heavily tried to describe this child who killed Charlie Kerk as anything other than one of them” and tries to “score political points from him.”

Trump also likened to the death of 31 -year -old political crop with “how four years old is saddened by a golden fish.”

Kimmil condemned the attack and sent “love” to the Kerk family in the wake of the shooting directly.

The head of the Federal Communications Committee (FCC), Brendan Car, accused Kimmel of “the possible patient behavior” and said that companies like ABC owned by Disney can “find ways to change behavior and take measures … or there will be additional work in the Federal Communications Committee.”

The Chairman of the Federal Communications Committee (FCC) told Thursday: “We will continue to hold these broadcasters accountable for the public interest – and if the broadcasters do not like this simple solution, they can transfer their license to FCC.”

The Federal Communications Committee (FCC) has an organizational authority on major networks, such as ABC, as well as local stations with their content. Local stations owners can also influence the main networks by refusing to carry offers.

Kimmel’s comment was announced shortly after NexStar Media, one of the largest owners of TV stations in America, that he would not broadcast his presentation “for the expected future” because his observations were “offensive and not sensitive.”

Car NexStar – who is currently seeking to obtain the approval of the Federal Communications Committee (FCC) for a 6.2 billion dollar mergers (4.5 billion pounds) with another media company, TEGNA – said he hoped that other broadcasters will follow his progress.

Senkler, the largest ABC group in the United States, said it will broadcast a special memory program for Kirk through Jimmy Kimmel Live! Time opening on Friday.

Kirk died from one gunshot in the neck while speaking at the University of Utah Valley on September 10.

A 22 -year -old man was accused of strict murder on Tuesday. Prosecutors say they will seek the death penalty.

Legal scientists say that the first amendment to the United States constitution, which protects freedom of expression, will prevent the Federal Communications Committee from nullifying licenses on political differences.

But Joe Strazolo, Jimmy Kimmel, former Live! The BBC told the BBC that there is an atmosphere of fear in the book room.

“It is heartbreaking to see their threat out of work,” he said. “Nobody knows exactly what is happening and work on things behind the scenes.”

Book, actors and prominent Democrats condemned Kimmel’s comment.

Former US President Barack Obama said that the Trump administration had transferred the culture to “a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening organizational procedures against media companies unless correspondents or correspondents of the shooting and commentators.”

The hosts were late late night around Kimmel.

In a rare in the middle of the week of The Daily Show, comedian John Stewart mocked the freedom of expression under current management.

Stewart described himself as a “nationalist host” and his program as “compatible with the administration.” Then he referred to Trump as a “dear leader” who was “wandering in England with his legendary warmth and ignition.”

In a later segment of his program, Stewart Maria Reesa, who won the award Nobel Peace Prize in 2021 To fight it for freedom of expression and democracy in the Philippines during the era of former President Rodrigo Deuttri.

Risa said that what is happening in the United States is “identical to what happened in the Philippines.” “It is all of Deja Vu and PTSD.”

“The Americans are like deer in the headlights. If you don’t move and protect the rights you have, you are losing them, and it is very difficult to restore them.”

Actor Ben Steller said what happened to Kimmel, “It is not true”, while Hakzi Jean -Smart said it was “terrified of cancellation.”

“This is blatant censorship,” said Stephen Colib in his competitor on CBS. “With Autocrat, you can’t give an inch.”

CBS announced in July that it will not renew Colbert’s offer for another season, saying this was Because of the financial pressure.

The American Writers Syndicate, the Hollywood unions, condemned Kimmel’s comment as a violation of the constitutional freedom rights.

But others kept FCC and ABC appropriately.

“When someone says something, many people find offensive, vicious, stupid in the actual time, then this person is punished for that, this does not eliminate culture,” said Dave Portoi, who founded Barstool Sports.

“These are consequences for your actions.”

The Fox host argue late at night, Greg Gotfield, that Kimmel “deliberately and misleading” blames Kirk’s allies and friends for his death.

The British offer, Pierce Morgan, said that Kimmel caused “a concept anger throughout America,” adding: “Why is he involved as a kind of martyr of freedom of expression?”

But one of the leaders of the Federal Communications Committee (CAR), Commissioner Anna Gomez, a democracy, criticized the position of the organizer.

She said, “Indeed, he does not forgive political violence by a turbulent individual who should not be exploited as a justification for the broader control or control.”
