Reporter: It's a sharp turn from the early days of Trump's second term, when he signed an executive order that he said would ban government censorship and restore free speech. We have seen an escalation of efforts to clamp down on criticism of Trump and his administration.

There is freedom of speech but not freedom of reach. Jimmy can still wander through public parks muttering to himself. He is not entitled to the public airwaves or a check from Disney while he tries to alienate the half audience they have left.

Utter nonsense!

Blithering Bullshit from fake news @CNN enemy of the people

We can not hate the propaganda machine enough

We will not be silenced. WE ARE 🇺🇲

Time for CNN to be stripped of their NEWS title and be redesignated as a propaganda opinion station. Time to put all so called NEWS stations, cable and otherwise under the Smith-Mundt act.

Where was cnn on this?

No one is censored. Those stations can report whatever they want. Just not in the Whitehouse press core.

Well, you know how invalid his EOs have always been. (heehee)

Oh fuck sakes

It’s like 24/7 Trumps fault No this isn’t Trump these people did this to themselves that’s the problem nowadays it’s everyone else’s fault

Say what you want, from your own network, not from the oval office

He is terrified of comedians?

Free speech and lies are two totally different lines of ,so called, Free Speech. The constitution says Free speech, not deceptive speech. That has no guarantees.

Bull. This is the most press available administration I know. Trump answers questions before and after every state visit, press flies all over the country on Air Force One and usually there’s a televised Q&A with him during the flight. Press is always there at Cabinet meetings and Trump and others almost always answer questions. I loved the White House press conferences with Karoline Leavitt, but also love Marco, VP Vance, and others pinch hitting. We have greater access to those who are leading our country than ever. If you don’t see these opportunities, perhaps you should question your news sources! Biden was mostly mute. Get a grip on truth -telling.

I must have missed the part where the FBI is forcing social media to censor. Trump may take credit to get under your skin; in realty, networks are looking for a reason to drop these hosts. I can think of a dozen podcasts that get more views than all the late shows combined.

You honestly believe all those lives that CNN is telling you Tunnel vision

Sue CNN

You confuse criticism with lying. MSM is the enemy of freedom.

why do you want to compel nexstar/sinclair to run kimmel when kimmel was pulled for going against the corporation's values?
