Republican senator says US TV regulator acted like 'mafioso' on Jimmy Kimmel
A Republican senator from Texas has accused the U.S. television regulator of acting like a "mafioso" in its dealings with the late-night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel. The senator, speaking in a mocking mobster-style accent, criticized the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for allegedly pressuring ABC, the network that airs Kimmel's show, to take action against the host. The controversy stems from a segment on Kimmel's show that the senator claimed was "obscene" and "indecent." The FCC, which is responsible for regulating the airwaves, is said to have contacted ABC about the segment, prompting the network to address the issue. The senator's comments are the latest in a ongoing debate over the role of the FCC and its regulation of content on television and other media platforms.
