DEVELOPING: Trump Threatens to Strip Licenses from TV Networks that Criticize Him After Kimmel Suspension.

BREAKING NEWS US President Donald Trump has threatened to strip licenses from TV networks that criticize him, following the suspension of late-night host Jimmy Kimmel by ABC. Trump made the comments during a press conference on Wednesday, where he backed the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in its decision to threaten regulatory action against ABC over Kimmel's remarks about the murder of conservative influencer Charlie Kirk. The FCC accused Kimmel of "the sickest conduct possible" and warned that firms like Disney-owned ABC could face further action if they don't take steps to change their host's behavior. The suspension of Kimmel's show by ABC has sparked concerns over censorship and free speech, with many accusing the Trump administration of using regulatory power to silence its critics. The FCC's chair, Brendan Carr, a Trump appointee, accused Kimmel of promoting "leftist ideology" and said that firms like ABC could face consequences if they don't take action. This move has sparked widespread criticism from media outlets and free speech advocates, who argue that the government should not be able to dictate what is broadcast on television. The situation remains highly volatile, with many calling for greater transparency and accountability from the FCC.
