The Trump administration is openly coercing media organizations into suppressing speech that it does not like. On Monday night, late-night comedian Jimmy Kimmel (irresponsibly) seemed to suggest that Charlie Kirk’s killer had conservative sympathies, before making several unrelated jokes at Donald Trump’s expense. Two days later, FCC chair Brendan Carr warned broadcasters that if they […] Read more ›

Look Outside starts as it means to go on, hinting at a choice and then standing back smirking. The room's dark; strange light leaks through closed curtains, and a beady eye poking through a crack in the wall urges you to peek out the window. You don't have to do it; it's not a formal decision point as such, just a gently presented possibility - and you can practically hear... Read more ›

Disney gave in to threats from FCC chairman and occasional speech regulator Brendan Carr this evening, announcing that Jimmy Kimmel Live! would be pulled off the air “indefinitely.” Carr was unhappy that Kimmel characterized the alleged shooter of Charlie Kirk as “anything other than” a member of the “MAGA gang” and threatened to pull broadcast […] Read more ›
