Earlier this week, ABC’s late-night show "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" was suspended indefinitely by parent company Disney after Kimmel made remarks about Charlie Kirk's death. The announcement came after the chairman of the Federal Communications Commission, Brendan Carr, suggested the FCC could pull the broadcast licenses of ABC-owned stations, and the owners of some of these stations said they were dropping Kimmel's show. President Donald Trump has said that broadcast networks that are “against” him might have their licenses taken away. WSJ's Maggie Severns reports on Carr's approach to the FCC and how it has led to Kimmel's suspension. Ryan Knutson hosts.

Not impartial, very left leaning.
Every screw-tube video contains an Ad for this company. A few years ago, a similar scam played out with Athletic chits, a powder which causes explosive diarrhea.
what a piece biased report! DJT can force sale a foreign port owned by a Chinese company, of course China can and should block it. Selling chips to China is national security, let alone selling an important port to usa. Xi didn't even ask Lee go to Beijing to "kiss my ass" seems pretty reasonable.
weird to start the episode with "when Elon Musk founded tesla" when he didn't. disappointing that the journal continues to spread this revisionist history
The opening to this episode brought me so much joy!
