Video: Opinion | Jimmy Kimmel and the Rise of Corporate Censorship

So the question is, how did we get here? We have to look at Project 2025. There was a chapter called The Federal Communications Commission, and it was authored by Brendan Carr. He enacted some of this idea of the unitary executive theory. It takes away a lot of the checks and balances that the federal government has long had.

Je Suis Jimmy

The president has never done well with criticism, constantly going after news organizations and private companies and individuals perceived to be insufficiently supportive or ingratiating. "This is the environment that we're all operating in, and we've known this for a while, where, whether it's legitimate or not, you have the government as an actor trying to control and shape coverage through a combination of means, one of which is threats," the news anchor said.

David Axelrod Grimly Warns Trump's Designation of Leftist Group as Terrorist Organization' Will Be Used to Go After' the President's Enemies

This post should not be dismissed, because what it means is he will define just as they will define the public interest [regarding broadcasting licenses] they will define, what is Antifa? And they will go after everyone and everything that they put under that umbrella, even though it isn't an organization. It is a, in many ways, mythology. But it gives them, you know, a pretext to go after their political enemies

Trump Rages That Biased' ABC, NBC Should Have Licenses Revoked': Threat to Democracy'

Despite a very high popularity and, according to many, among the greatest 8 months in Presidential History, ABC & NBC FAKE NEWS, two of the worst and most biased networks in history, give me 97% BAD STORIES. IF THAT IS THE CASE, THEY ARE SIMPLY AN ARM OF THE DEMOCRAT PARTY AND SHOULD, ACCORDING TO MANY, HAVE THEIR LICENSES REVOKED BY THE FCC. I would be totally in favor of that because they are so biased and untruthful, an actual threat to our Democracy!!! MAGA
