Subject: Re: ABC Axes Jimmy Kimmel
ABC merely followed their customers’ lead.
Do you approve of the decision by FCC Chairman Brendan Carr to raise the possibility of revoking ABC's broadcast license if they didn't pull the Kimmel show:
"There's actions we can take on licensed broadcasters. It's long past the time that...Comcast and Disney say 'We're not gonna run Kimmel anymore...because we licensed broadcasters are running the possibly of fines or licensed revocation from the FCC.'"
I don't think it's plausible to argue that ABC's decision was merely based on "their customers' lead," when you have that kind of statement being made by the head of the FCC.
Wouldn't you be apoplectic if a Democratic FCC chair made such a statement directed at a conservative broadcaster?
