How it happened
FCC Chair Brendan Carr harshly criticized Jimmy Kimmel for calling Charlie Kirk’s suspected shooter a MAGA Republican, suggesting ABC affiliates could face license reviews if such “news distortion” continued.- In an interview with YouTuber Benny Johnson, Carr said affiliates risk license revocation if they keep airing Kimmel’s show without changes, floated the possibility of suspension or firing, and invoked the FCC’s public interest rules.
- Carr linked his warning to broader Trump-era media shake-ups — including Colbert’s Late Show cancellation, defunding of NPR and PBS, and pressure on CBS News — arguing that Disney (ABC’s parent company) must rein in Kimmel.

The struggle
Yesterday morning, I watched as Joe Scarborough tried to explain that crime statistics don’t matter when the (white conservative) men he knows tell him about car jackings and being held at gunpoint and it scared them.
Symone Sanders came in and put him in his place.
