Brendan Carr suggests it’s ‘worthwhile’ for FCC to probe ‘The View’https://thehill.com/homenews/media/5511391-brendan-carr-fcc-controversy/
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chair Brendan Carr on Thursday said it may be “worthwhile” to consider investigating ABC’s “The View” amid controversy about late night host Jimmy Kimmel’s firing.
“I would assume you could make the argument that ‘The View’ is a bona fide news show, but I’m not so sure about that,” Carr said during an interview on conservative commentator Scott Jennings’s podcast.
“And I think it’s worthwhile to have the FCC look into whether ‘The View’ and some of the programs that you have still qualify as bona fide news programs and therefore exempt from the equal opportunity regime that Congress has put in place,” he added.
Carr on Wednesday criticized remarks Kimmel made on his show Monday about the suspect arrested for the killing of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. He also said “licensed broadcasters” should stand up against Kimmel, a remark that many observers saw as suggesting government action could take place.
