It doesn’t matter if you like the Jimmy Kimmel show or not or whether you agree with his political views. All Americans should agree that it’s atrocious that the Executive Branch can use their power to remove someone from television simply because he criticizes them. That’s censorship. Period.

BREAKING: Donald Trump suggests that the federal government might revoke the licenses of TV networks that are “against” him.

Pure political propaganda badged with old media’s logos,fed to public as news & there is a paper trail exposed by Media Watch which proves it. Albanese’s control of Media CEOs show Albanese’s control of Canberra journalists as exposed by Media Watch. bit.ly/4mZXRT9
