FCC Commissioner Anna M Gomez has welcomed The Walt Disney Company’s decision to return to the air the Jimmy Kimmel Show on ABC.

“I am glad to see Disney find its courage in the face of clear government intimidation,” she said. “More importantly, I want to thank those Americans from across the ideological spectrum who spoke loudly and courageously against this blatant attempt to silence free speech. It will continue to be up to us as citizens to push back against this Administration’s growing campaign of censorship and control.”


“As this FCC considers steps that would let the same billion-dollar media conglomerates that caved in to government pressure grow even bigger, we must combat these efforts to stifle free expression. I will keep fighting to protect consumers, promote a healthy media ecosystem with viewpoint diversity, and ensure local broadcasters have the independence to stand up to government threats,” she declared.
