Media giants accused of ‘cowering to threats’ as Trump tries to stamp out criticism

Jimmy Kimmel's late-night show has been indefinitely suspended by ABC, a decision widely attributed to pressure from the Trump administration and FCC Chair Brendan Carr. Carr threatened regulatory action against ABC and Disney after Kimmel's criticism of conservatives. This follows similar incidents involving other late-night hosts and settlements with Trump. Critics argue this demonstrates media giants cowering to threats and jeopardizing free speech, while others point to the complex interplay between media ownership, government regulation, and business transactions as contributing factors. The suspension raises serious free speech concerns and highlights the vulnerability of media companies to political pressure.
