US President Donald Trump said some TV networks that criticize him should “maybe” lose their licence. He spoke after ABC suspended late-night host Jimmy Kimmel. Kimmel was taken off air for remarks about the murder of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) warned ABC over Kimmel’s comments. Trump told reporters that media was “97% against” him and suggested licences be taken away. Kimmel’s suspension drew strong reactions. Barack Obama, actors, and unions called it censorship. FCC chairman Brendan Carr said more action could follow, while critics warned this move threatens free speech rights. (PC: BBC)
