Jimmy Kimmel pulls Talarico interview from TV, citing FCC threats
–
Neutral summary
Late-night host Jimmy Kimmel said his interview with Democratic Texas Senate candidate James Talarico will not air on ABC and will instead be posted on YouTube, citing threats from the Federal Communications Commission under President Donald Trump. Kimmel told his audience that the FCC had threatened his show, the network and its affiliates, and that he had interviewed candidates for office in election years for decades without such pressure. The FCC’s lone Democratic commissioner said Kimmel’s decision shows the Trump administration’s attempts to control the media, calling it an example of “self-censorship.”
