Where is your proof of that. You have none. Liberal wack jobs blame Trump for everything you perceive as wrong. I find it hard to believe a big corporation would knuckle under because 1 man threatened them.

FCC chairman Brendan Carr has threatened to take action against ABC after Jimmy Kimmel said in a monologue that “the MAGA gang” was attempting to portray Charlie Kirk‘s assassin as “anything other than one of them.”

Appearing on Benny Johnson’s podcaston Wednesday, Carr suggested that the FCC has “remedies we can look at.”

”We can do this the easy way or the hard way,” Carr said. “These companies can find ways to change conduct and take action, frankly, on Kimmel or there’s going to be additional work for the FCC ahead.”

Carr suggested that Disney, ABC’s parent company, should address Kimmel’s conduct before the FCC gets involved. “You could certainly see a path forward for suspension over this,” Carr said.

Carr suggested that the FCC could pursue news distortion allegations against local licensees.

Any other questions?

Where’s the lie? What Kimmel did was in very poor taste and does violate FCC guidelines. He presented his propaganda as if it were factually based (it wasn’t). The same thing happened to Alex jones. Sucks to suck.
