FCC chief: Colbert, Kimmel 'facing the consequences' of choices to 'appeal to a very, very narrow audience'
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chair Brendan Carr on Wednesday defended ABC's decision to pull late-night comedian Jimmy Kimmel off the air over the host's jokes about the recent assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.
During an appearance on Fox News's "Hannity," Carr said Kimmel and other left-leaning comics are "facing the consequences" of catering to what he called a "very narrow audience."
"There's more work to go," he told host Sean Hannity. "But I'm very glad to see that America's broadcasters are standing up for the interests of their community."
Kimmel's suspension came two days after he said on air that Republicans were trying to score “political points” off Kirk’s death and joked that President Trump was mourning the Turning Point........
