Hollywood Stands Firm Against Free Speech Suppression

Hollywood has rallied against the White House after ABC indefinitely pulled Jimmy Kimmel's show due to his comments regarding conservative activist Charlie Kirk's assassination. The move has been deemed a government attack on free speech.

ABC, owned by Walt Disney, reacted after at least one affiliate withdrew Kimmel's show, facing pressure from top communications regulators. Kimmel had criticized Kirk's allies for allegedly using his death as a political tool.

Unions representing actors and writers have condemned the suspension, defending the host's right to free expression. Meanwhile, the Federal Communications Commission hinted at possible investigations, further escalating tensions over media censorship.
