The ABC Television Network late Wednesday confirmed that it is pulling “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” for an indefinite period in response to comments made by the late-night host concerning the man suspected of murdering Turning Point USA founder and prominent conservative Republican Charlie Kirk on September 10 at a Utah speaking event.
There are avenues here for the FCC …”News of ABC’s decision came just minutes after Nexstar Media Group announced that it would pre-empt Kimmel’s late-night program across every ABC affiliate it owns.
Meanwhile, Democratic FCC Commissioner Anna Gomez chimed in with a dissent of Carr, issuing a statement that all but condemned his comments on The Benny Show.
“An inexcusable act of political violence by one disturbed individual must never be exploited as justification for broader censorship or control,” Gomez warned.
The FCC could be called upon to be an ultimate judge, Carr concluded.
