During a wide-ranging interview on CNBC Thursday, Federal Communications Commission Chair Brendan Carr hinted that Jimmy Kimmel’s show might not be the last casualty in President Donald Trump’s ongoing war on the media and the First Amendment.
Host Carl Quintanilla asked Carr whether the FCC shares Trump’s desire for NBC to take Jimmy Fallon and Seth Meyers off the air next. While Carr said that he doesn’t speak for the president, he suggested more media upheaval could be on the horizon. “Our goal and our obligation is to make sure broadcasters are serving the public interest,” he said. “We’re in the midst of a massive shift in dynamics in the media ecosystem for lots of reasons, including the permission structure that President Trump’s election has provided. I would simply say we’re not done yet with seeing the consequences of that shift.”
Co-host David Faber then pressed him on what “we’re not done yet” means.
“Will you only be pleased when none of these comedians have a show on broadcast television?” he asked.
“It’s not about any particular show or any particular person,” Carr replied.” We’re in the midst of a very disruptive moment right now. I just frankly expect that we’re gonna continue to see changes in the media ecosystem.”
Lies. Nothing but lies.
