Media experts assembled by CNN were incredibly concerned about what the indefinite removal of Jimmy Kimmel Livefrom ABC’s airwaves means for free speech, with media analyst Brian Stelter telling host Erin Burnett that this decision “really does have a chilling effect across the American media.”
Appearing on Erin Burnett OutFront on Wednesday night, Stelter said, “America is a less free place if late-night comedians cannot do and say what they want. Of course they can be tuned out. People can change the channel. That‘s how we vote. That‘s how we have our say in America.”
Kimmel’s late night show Jimmy Kimmel Live! was pulled indefinitely after FCC Chairman Brendan Carr threatened to revoke ABC’s broadcasting license as a result of what he argued was Kimmel playing into a “narrative” that Charlie Kirk’s suspected shooter was a “MAGA or Republican motivated person.”
