A Crackdown on Dissent
Briefly

A Crackdown on Dissent
""The message from the FCC is clear," Vivian Salama, the guest moderator for Washington Week With The Atlantic, said last night: "The rules for engagement are changing.""
""You can't see this in isolation," Zolan Kanno-Youngs, a White House correspondent at The New York Times, noted. "Really, since the assassination of Charlie Kirk, what we've seen is a much broader crackdown from this administration.""
ABC pulled comedian Jimmy Kimmel's talk show off the air following remarks he made related to Charlie Kirk's assassination. The suspension followed comments from Brendan Carr, chair of the Federal Communications Commission, about Kimmel. A moderator characterized the episode as a signal from the FCC that "the rules for engagement are changing." A White House correspondent framed the action as part of a broader crackdown from the administration since the assassination of Charlie Kirk. Panelists on the program included journalists from The New York Times, Puck, and BBC News who addressed the implications for media and regulation.
