As fortune would have it, CNN’s Jake Tapper was a visitor on The Late Present With Stephen Colbert a day after the bombshell information that ABC is indefinitely suspending Jimmy Kimmel.
Tapper, who was on Thursday’s episode to discuss his forthcoming nonfiction guide, “Race Towards Terror,” instructed Colbert that Kimmel’s suspension was a “direct violation” of the First Modification.
He added, “If we would not have the power to criticize, mock, examine our leaders, we’re now not the USA of America.”
Throughout his dialog with Colbert, the CNN anchor made reference to capitalism being the driving drive behind the suspension, with associates doubtlessly asserting they’d preempt Jimmy Kimmel Reside due to FCC strain.
“The cash is inflicting them to focus solely on that and never the necessary a part of this American experiment,” he mentioned.
Earlier within the day, Tapper posted a video about Kimmel’s suspension. Within the video, Tapper spoke on how Disney’s CEO Bob Iger has to make a “legacy-defining resolution” concerning what to do with Kimmel. This comes because the media conglomerate is searching for approval from the Justice Division to finish its acquisition of Fubo.
