Context: TV host Jimmy Kimmel says his interview with Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico will not air on television due to pressure from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Speaking on his talk show, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Kimmel said the FCC, under President Donald Trump, had "threatened" him and his show "based on simple traditional editorial decisions, guest bookings it would seem they don't like". The BBC contacted the FCC for comment. The White House denied the FCC had threatened Kimmel over his interview with Talarico or any other candidate, accusing the host of "play-acting". https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cvgyrv39n4eo
