Federal Communications Commission Chairman Brendan Carr again targeted ABC’s “The View” on Thursday, saying that the morning talk show may no longer be exempt from the commission’s equal opportunity broadcast rules.
On Thursday’s “The Scott Jennings Radio Show,” the chairman said that the FCC will determine whether or not the Whoopi Goldberg-led series is a “bonafide news show.” If not, it would be forced to offer opposing political candidates “equal time” on an FCC-regulated network like ABC. Carr’s comments against “The View” came just a day after the Disney-owned network suspended Jimmy Kimmel over comments he made Monday about Charlie Kirk’s alleged shooter.
