U.S. President Donald Trump celebrated the suspension of talk-show host Jimmy Kimmel and called for broadcasters to lose licenses over negative coverage. This follows Kimmel's monologue regarding the assassination of right-wing activist Charlie Kirk, which has ignited a national debate on free speech.

• The Walt Disney-owned broadcaster ABC indefinitely suspended "Jimmy Kimmel Live" after conservative backlash to his monologue.
• Kimmel was suspended after FCC Chair Brendan Carr threatened to investigate his commentary, and local TV stations, including those owned by Nexstar and Sinclair Broadcast Group, announced they would stop broadcasting his show.
• Protesters gathered outside the Hollywood studio where "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" is recorded, with signs like “Don’t Bend a Knee to Trump” and “Cancel Disney+.”
• Notable figures including former U.S. President Barack Obama, late-night hosts Stephen Colbert and Jon Stewart, and various unions condemned the suspension as an attack on free speech.
