Self-censorship set dangerous precedent, FCC's Gomez says

Season 2025 Episode 262 | 6m 39s

The debate continues over Disney’s decision to pull Jimmy Kimmel off the air indefinitely. FCC Chairman Brendan Carr suggested that ABC affiliates should pull Kimmel’s show or face action from his agency. But Carr rejected accusations that he was punishing free speech. There is also pushback coming from within the FCC itself. William Brangham discussed the latest with Commissioner Anna Gomez.
