Why Jimmy Kimmel was taken off the air

Jimmy Kimmel's late-night show has been pulled off the air "for the foreseeable future" after the host made comments about political reactions to the killing of Charlie Kirk. The move by Disney, which owns ABC, came after a major TV station owner said it would drop the show, and the head of the U.S. communications regulator threatened regulatory action. Today we're unpacking what Kimmel said, why it's caused such a major response, and what this means for media regulation in the U.S. Hosts: Sam Koslowski and Emma GillespieProducer: Orla Maher Want to support The Daily Aus?
