After getting Jimmy Kimmel suspended, FCC chair threatens ABC’s The View

After getting Jimmy Kimmel suspended, FCC chair threatens ABC’s The View

In a recent development, Brendan Carr, the chair of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), has threatened to take action against ABC's The View after the suspension of Jimmy Kimmel's late-night talk show. Carr, a Republican commissioner, expressed his dissatisfaction with The View's content, stating that the show's hosts have "repeatedly" violated FCC rules and regulations. He went so far as to suggest that the network should "turn your license in to the FCC" and that the commission will "find something else to do with it." The controversy stems from Carr's belief that The View has failed to maintain appropriate standards of decency and has engaged in the spread of misinformation. However, the specifics of the alleged violations have not been clearly outlined. This threat comes on the heels of the FCC's decision to suspend Jimmy Kimmel's show for a brief period, a move that was criticized by some as a political maneuver. The ongoing tensions between the FCC and certain media outlets have raised concerns about the potential for political interference in the regulation of the broadcasting industry.
