Trump’s war on media: Jimmy Kimmel suspended over Kirk remarks (youtube.com)
This has some of the clips of what Kimmel actually said.
It does seem like intimidation of US media. Public companies basically all suing for peace with Trump in their own ways. Very few people standing up an saying ‘I won’t be intimidated.' John Sopel.
One who is not intimidated so far is Murdoch and the WSJ. NYT is privately owned by a wealthy billionaire. The Atlantic is owned by the ex of Steve Jobs.
Does it all stem from rightwing think tanks? Project2025?
