Wouldn't you be apoplectic if a Democratic FCC chair made such a statement directed at a conservative broadcaster?

I don't watch Kimmel (or really any late night talk show). But I got up enough curiosity to look up what he said.

"The Maga Gang desperately trying to characterise this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it." There were also comments about the Felon's maturity level.

Really? That's it? If he had said something like "glad he's dead", I would get it. But he didn't, and in fact, he sent condolences to the family a few days prior. He insulted POTUS, and MAGA. He did not insult Kirk nor his family.

That the FCC reacted this way is unconscionable. Networks (and affiliates) are certainly free to exercise their own discretion based on their markets (customers). But those comments did not warrant a reaction from the FCC, IMO.
