1:16Now PlayingFilm and TV writers held a free-speech demonstration in New York to protest Disney's suspension of talk-show host Jimmy Kimmel and President Donald Trump's efforts to punish broadcasters who speak ill of him or his murdered ally, right-wing activist Charlie Kirk.
ABC, the television network owned by Disney, indefinitely suspended "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" this week after Kimmel discussed Kirk and mocked the president during his opening monologue on September 15.
Some conservatives were outraged by the monologue.
The Trump-appointed head of the Federal Communications Commission, Brendan Carr, threatened regulatory action, alarming Democrats and civil rights groups who accused the Trump administration of unconstitutional efforts to censor critical media. The owners of dozens of ABC-affiliated local TV networks said they would not carry the show until Kimmel apologized to Kirk's family.
