FCC chair talks 'consequences' for The View after Joy Behar's Donald Trump jab: 'Need a course-correction' in media

Brendan Carr told Fox News that networks will "run into issues like [Stephen] Colbert" if they don't check bias and continue to "run a partisan circus."

The impact of Joy Behar's assertion that Donald Trump is jealous of Barack Obama's looks and marriage continues to reverberate through the government, as Federal Communications Commission chair Brendan Carr has now spoken about "consequences" for the comedian and The View amid the fallout.

One day after the White House issued an exclusive statement to Entertainment Weekly floating the potential for The View to be "pulled off the air" after "irrelevant loser" Behar's comments, Carr appeared Thursday morning on Fox News program America's Newsroom to discuss the issue further with cohost Bill Hemmer.

"It's entirely possible that there's issues over there. Stepping back, this broader dynamic, once President Trump has exposed these media gatekeepers and smashed this facade, there's a lot of consequences," Carr speculated. "I think the consequences of that aren't quite finished."

He then alluded to legal expert Sunny Hostin's multiple legal notes on The View, that she often issued during episodes that saw the cohosts reacting to coverage of Trump's hush-money trial that ultimately ended with the president being convicted on 34 counts in May 2024.

1. It's called "free speech," people. Get over it.

If the President doesn't like people in the media talking about him, then he needs to resign and go back to being a private citizen.

4. So the FCC

is targeting Fox and Newsmax? Running a partisan Circus? The FCC not doing their job? FCC employees thinking aligning themselves with trump is good for their resumes?

5. It's entirely possible any "course-corrections" will be the final nail in the coffin for network television.
