In a move widely condemned as “state censorship” and an attack on free speech, ABC has pulled talk show host Jimmy Kimmel from the air “indefinitely” over comments he made about the death of Charlie Kirk.

The network needs something from the FCC. Kimmel was the price. It's thuggery but not censorship.

A fondness for calling it something else is just a trick of loopholes and misdirection.

The implied threat is still a violation of the First Amendment.

Marine One Makes Emergency Landing
Turns out it was a minor leak in the hydraulic system. When I read the headline, I was hoping it was something like the main rotor falling off and the copter plowing into the tarmac at 300mph.
Oh, well. Better luck next time.

It’s both. Anyone who doubts that Trump’s hand-picked FCC chair didn’t lean on the network at the behest of his boss hasn’t been keeping up with how this thuggocracy operates.

Quote:US law enforcement officials have claimed that the use of certain emojis could signal affiliation with Tren de Aragua (TdA), a Venezuelan gang, according to internal records reviewed by the Guardian.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Customs and Border Protection (CBP), the US army and other agencies have alleged in briefings, threat warnings and training materials for law enforcement that specific symbols used on social media are associated with Tren de Aragua, a group Donald Trump has regularly cited to support his immigration crackdown.
The emoji claims, repeated by the New York police department (NYPD), were made in four reports disseminated among law enforcement officials in 2024 and 2025 and obtained through records requests by Property of the People, a government transparency non-profit.
Emojis that officials claimed were “commonly” used by Tren de Aragua and part of members’ “code language” include trains, swords, ninjas, aliens and strawberries.
Gang experts and immigration attorneys who reviewed the records said the claims were “ludicrous”, “uneducated” and “baseless” and raised concerns that authorities could cite emojis to erroneously label people as Tren de Aragua members – allegations that can have dire consequences, including deportation.

Well, Colbert and Kimmel were employees of their networks. Faux News also fires its workers when they get mouthy (in the wrong way). Remember Tucker Carlson got fired.
They're all business decisions.
Anyway, Carlson has done better on his own since Faux News kicked him out. Kimmel still has free speech, he just has to build a platform.
Roseanne Barr got fired for making racist comments when the Obamas complained. There are lots of examples. When you're an employee, you have to obey the boss.
