BREAKING: The FCC Chairman is threatening immediate action against Jimmy Kimmel, ABC, and Disney for deliberately misleading the public by claiming Charlie Kirk’s assassin was a MAGA Conservative.
Chairman Brendan Carr calls Kimmel’s malicious lies are “truly sick” and says they should result in Kimmel's immediate suspension and may lead to ABC losing its broadcast license.
Chairman Carr confirms the agency has a “strong case” to hold Kimmel, ABC, and Disney accountable for spreading dangerous, politically motivated misinformation.
"This is a very, very serious issue right now for Disney. We can do this the easy way or the hard way. These companies can find ways to take action on Kimmel or there is going to be additional work for the FCC ahead."
"They have a license granted by us at the FCC, and that comes with it an obligation to operate in the public interest."
"There are calls for Kimmel to be fired. I think you could certainly see a path forward for suspension over this."
"The FCC could make a strong argument that this is sort of an intentional effort to mislead the American people about a very core fundamental fact, a very important matter."
"Disney needs to see some change here, but the individual licensed stations that are taking their content, it's time for them to step up and say this, you know, garbage to the extent that that's what comes down the pipe in the future isn't something that we think serves the needs of our local communities. But, but this sort of status quo is obviously not, not acceptable where we are."
Thank you for your strong leadership here, Chairman @BrendanCarrFCC
So.tired.of.this.nonsense.
The only thing that gets rid of roaches is toxic sprays and daylight.
Every channel that airs this nonsense should be forced to air the truth in at least ten times the length, with well known people and in prime time along with the firing of those who said and spread the lies.
I’m shocked, shocked that the old Disney queens are a bunch of communists. Who knew?
Jimmy, don’t give in. Fight!
Better to have the DoJ figure out ways to hit Kimmel in the wallet with civil fines, indictments and legal fees—over and over again.
If they fire Kimmel what will his eleven viewers do?
I hope that is the next step .
The fact this was done is great .
Dress up like cats, dogs, and foxes
“”Chairman Brendan Carr calls Kimmel’s malicious lies are “truly sick” and says they should result in Kimmel’s immediate suspension and may lead to ABC losing its broadcast license.””
I totally agree. Force ABC to fire Kimmel or else. This crap has gone on way too long already. Enough.
What does Karl Malone say?
I was wondering when/if Carr was going to chime in.
Isn’t there some Federal rule that media platforms have to give equal time to both sides? Or was that suspended a few years ago?
Walt Disney must be thawing out in his cryogenic capsule.
There will be no indictments for criminal offenses.
You don’t threaten anything unless you are willing to follow through with it. It’s all bullshit otherwise.
“We can do this the easy way or the hard way.”
Technically , all 11 were all asleep in there lazy boys and had no plans to watch the demon .
F'n shut up and DO something.
Jimmy who?
