> BREAKING: Jimmy Kimmel announces his interview with Texas Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico will NOT air on ABC tomorrow, saying Trump’s FCC has threatened him, his show, ABC, its affiliates, and local stations over “simple traditional editorial decisions” and guest bookings.
This may sound familiar because the administration also censored a Talarico interview off the air back in February [0]. This isn't just amateur First Amendment violations around "obscenity", my friends, this is the advanced "censor opposed political speech to win an election" version.
Meanwhile, every Republican in Congress is like: "The First Amendment? Partisan corruption? Oh my, what are those? I simply can't comment on them, I haven't been briefed yet, ask me again never."
