Consider This from NPR - Kimmel cancellation renews questions about free speech
President Trump has said for years that he wants Jimmy Kimmel off the air.
Now, ABC and its parent company Disney have put the show on indefinite hiatus.
One key player here is the chairman of the Federal Communications Commission, Brendan Carr.
Today he applauded ABC’s decision, posting on X, “Broadcast TV stations have always been required by their licenses to operate in the public interest.”
Kimmel’s cancellation reopens questions about free speech, the role of the FCC, and the relationship between the commission and the White House.
NPR political editor and correspondent Domenico Montanaro and former FCC chairman Tom Wheeler shed some light on those questions.

The Gist - Not Even Mad: Michael A. Cohen and Jamie Kirchick
Michael A. Cohen and Jamie Kirchick discuss the Charlie Kirk assassination and the immediate retreat to priors — who’s weaponizing grief, what counts as incitement, and whether “fascistic” vs. “authoritarian” language clarifies or inflames. Plus, the TikTok law end-run and why process crimes don’t move voters the way visible force does. In Goat Grinders: antisemitic conspiracies about Kirk’s murder; presidential pressure to prosecute Letitia James; and one deeply baffling Visa/Christian McCaffrey toaster ad that raises more questions than it protects appliances.
