Hundreds of Hollywood celebrities, including Tom Hanks and Robert De Niro, signed an ACLU letter condemning Disney's suspension of Jimmy Kimmel following FCC threats. The letter, signed by over 200 A-list actors, criticizes government pressure on artists and journalists, comparing it to McCarthyism. The suspension came after Kimmel's monologue about the murder of Charlie Kirk, and ensuing threats against broadcasters. The ACLU and many signatories urge Americans to defend free speech rights.
