"A reporter at the San Sebastian Film Festival in Spain asked Hollywood star Angelina Jolie about challenges to free expression, an unspoken nod to President Donald Trump's crackdown on the media. The media world was shaken last Wednesday night by the news that ABC had suspended Kimmel's show indefinitely (he has since been reinstated) just hours after he was targeted by Brendan Carr, President Trump's hand-picked FCC commissioner."
"TRANSLATOR: Hi, good afternoon. Maria Guerra from Kinotico, a question for Angelina Jolie. The US is going through a The US is going through a concerning period of time due to the freedom of expression. In the US, you're a free woman who has raised your voice in favor of many causes. What are you afraid of at this present moment as an artist and as an American in regards to the US?"
"ANGELINA JOLIE: Oh. (LONG PAUSE) I don't. (LONG PAUSE) It's obviously a very difficult question, only to say that I love my country, and. But I don't at this time recognize my country. And I think that's, but I am. I've always lived internationally, I've always my family's international, my friends, my life, my world view is equal, united, international. So anything, anywhere that divides or of course limits personal expressions, and freedoms and from anyone, I think is very dangerous."
Political and regulatory actions in the United States have raised concerns about threats to free expression and media independence. ABC briefly suspended a prominent late-night program after pressure from an FCC commissioner, illustrating growing influence on broadcast content. At an international film festival, a reporter questioned a prominent artist about artistic freedom amid these pressures. The artist expressed love for the country but said she did not recognize it at this moment, emphasized an international worldview, and warned that anything limiting personal expression and freedoms is dangerous during these serious times.
