It's happening again, straight from the fascist playbook...BREAKING NEWS... NY Times calls it "an extraordinary exertion of political pressure on a major broadcast network by the Trump administration" Sign the petition to ABC and Disney: Put Jimmy Kimmel back on the air now. Don't be Trump's accomplice in attacking the First Amendment and media freedom. No kings. More from the NY Times: "ABC announced on Wednesday evening that it was pulling Jimmy Kimmel's late night show 'indefinitely' after conservatives accused the longtime host of inaccurately describing the politics of the man who is accused of fatally shooting the right-wing activist Charlie Kirk. "The abrupt decision by the network, which is owned by the Walt Disney Company, came hours after the chairman of the Federal Communications Commission, Brendan Carr, assailed Mr. Kimmel and suggested that his regulatory agency might take action against ABC because of remarks the host made on his Monday telecast. "Donald Trump praised ABC. The decision to suspend Kimmel was made by Bob Iger, Disney's chief executive." We led the fight when Stephen Colbert's show was cancelled -- driving lots of negative media attention to parent company Paramount. ABC needs to feel pressure now. Sign the petition telling them to put Jimmy Kimmel on the air and defend the First Amendment. -- The PCCC Team (Follow us on BlueSky: @BoldProgressives.org) |
