FCC Chairman Walks Back His Role in Jimmy Kimmel Suspension

It’s surprising to see Brendan Carr backtrack on his comments about Jimmy Kimmel, especially since he was heavily criticizing Kimmel just last week. He initially called Kimmel’s remark about Kirk’s attacker “incredibly disturbing” during an interview. It seems he may have faced some internal consequences for those strong words, or perhaps he’s simply realized that comments made on podcasts have a lasting impact. Instead of admitting any misstep, Carr used a recent speech to claim that Democrats misinterpreted his role at the FCC. He stated that the FCC never threatened Disney or ABC over Kimmel’s employment, a claim made despite widespread criticism from both sides of the political spectrum – even Senator Ted Cruz compared Carr to a “mob boss” on his own podcast. It’s clear these individuals have too many platforms to voice their opinions. Ultimately, the only voice that truly matters in this situation is Jimmy Kimmel’s.
