Ana Marie Cox and Kathy Roberts Ford say that Kimmel’s suspension shows Trump does not respect the First Amendment, and the corporations that own much of America media don’t value free expression much either.

While the Roberts court has issued a trove of suspect decisions over the years, the one area of the law in which it’s been consistently virtuous is the First Amendment.

As Trump’s ramblings reveal how corrupt his pressure on ABC to suspend Kimmel truly was, The Contrarian’s Jennifer Rubin explains what all this says about his consolidation of power—and how to fight it.

The Fox News host defended the censorship of Jimmy Kimmel by saying we need to have “responsibility” and “accountability” in how we use our speech. It’s a standard that she rarely meets.

The president told reporters that Jimmy Kimmel had it coming—and that other critics should also be silenced.

Pence could not have issued a gentler condemnation of his former boss’s blatant censorship of Jimmy Kimmel.

Anna Gomez, the FCC’s lone Democratic commissioner, tells TNR that chairman Brendan Carr’s move violates both the First Amendment and the Communications Act. Democrats must extract consequences.

Apparently, Donald Trump has forgotten his own executive order.

Kimmel wasn’t suspended for “low ratings” or a lack of talent. He was put on ice because he dared poke fun at a thin-skinned president.

Journalism professor Kathy Roberts Ford and TNR’s Ana Marie Cox argue that Jimmy Kimmel’s suspension by ABC shows an administration following the authoritarian playbook—and a corporate-captured press.

FCC Chair Brendan Carr threatened to hold up a multibillion-dollar merger unless the ABC late-night host was taken off the air.

Sean Hannity apparently doesn’t think Donald Trump is a “prominent conservative voice.”

Federal Communications Commission Chair Brendan Carr has been openly bragging about getting the popular late-night show host canned on spurious grounds.

Donald Trump got a dig in at Stephen Colbert too.

If you make jokes the leader doesn’t like, look out. Does that sound like America? We are in a new place.

Donald Trump is going to war with anyone in the media who dares criticize him.

Donald Trump was quick to spread falsehoods after the announcement of Stephen Colbert’s firing.

In his hush-money criminal trial, the former president is coming face to face with potential jurors who have expressed unvarnished opinions of him on social media.

People can’t stop cracking up over the former president’s bizarre, bumbling speech.

Why the hell is the far right suddenly obsessed with Jimmy Kimmel?
