ABC insider hopes liberals take this lesson away from Jimmy Kimmel saga

One ABC insider had a message particularly for liberals in the fallout of Jimmy Kimmel Live being pulled from the airwaves I hope it teaches the left and the right that still cares about speech that the executive branch agencies have waaaaay too much power the grid staffer reported Fox News Digital If you don t want your political enemy to get to define hate speech then you don t want to criminalize hate speech they continued Same goes for the FCC Neither Disney nor ABC responded to Fox News Digital's requests for comment LIBERALS RAGE AS ABC PULLS JIMMY KIMMEL OFF THE AIR FOLLOWING CHARLIE KIRK ASSASSIN COMMENTSDisney was facing mounting pressure from ABC affiliate stations around the country as well as the Federal Communications Commission FCC over its handling of its liberal late-night host Jimmy Kimmel over his comments about the alleged Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson A spokesperson for Disney reported Fox News Digital Jimmy Kimmel Live would be preempted indefinitely On Monday Kimmel suggested Robinson was part of the MAGA gang despite reports he had a left-wing ideology which was later reaffirmed in Tuesday's indictment We hit chosen new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to amount political points from it Kimmel informed his audience Nexstar Media Group and Sinclair Broadcast Group had expressed to ABC that it would preempt Jimmy Kimmel Live on the affiliate stations they operate unless the Disney-owned infrastructure addressed the argument FCC Chairman Brendan Carr also threatened ABC and Disney to remedy the situation saying we can do this the easy way or the hard way I've been very clear from the moment that I have become chairman of the FCC I want to reinvigorate the population interest And what people don't understand is that the broadcasters and you've gotten this right are entirely different than people that use other forms of communication They have a license granted by us at the FCC and that comes with it an obligation to operate in the community interest Carr narrated YouTube host Benny Johnson These companies can find means to change conduct to take action frankly on Kimmel or you know there's going to be additional work for the FCC ahead One broadcast journalist was perplexed by Carr's demands What does Carr mean when he says it's our obligation to ensure the FCC has license holders uphold the general interest who's going to define that they communicated Fox News Digital I imagine what the commander in chief's definition of the society interest is but it's crazy FCC CHAIR LEVELS THREAT AGAINST ABC DISNEY AFTER KIMMEL SUGGESTED CHARLIE KIRK ASSASSIN WAS 'MAGA'
