14:19Now PlayingEmily Jashinsky breaks down ABC’s decision to pull Jimmy Kimmel’s show after his claim that Charlie Kirk’s assassin was aligned with MAGA. She stresses that Kimmel taped his remarks after investigators had already confirmed the suspect’s radical leftist ties, making his comments knowingly reckless. Emily outlines the pressure campaign from the FCC Chair, and public, while Nexstar—seeking government approval for a $6.2 billion merger—pulled Kimmel’s show from local airwaves. She notes accusations of government intimidation but also takes into account market forces and basic ethics. Emily notes a Megyn Kelly post pointing out that ABC fired Chris Harrison for saying maybe we should judge a Bachelor contestant’s attendance (years earlier) at an antebellum party by what was considered offensive at the time. Emily frames this all as a “rebalancing” of media power.
