This week, ABC pulled the comedian Jimmy Kimmel’s talk show off the air over remarks he made related to Charlie Kirk’s assassination. The suspension followed comments from Brendan Carr, the chair of the Federal Communications Commission, about Kimmel. “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.” Panelists joined to discuss this, and more.
“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.”
Joining Salama, the guest moderator and an Atlantic staff writer, to discuss this and more: Kanno-Youngs; Leigh Ann Caldwell, the chief Washington correspondent at Puck; and Asma Khalid, a co-host of the Global Story podcast at BBC News.
