FCC Chair suggests investigating The View over broadcast rule violations
- FCC Chairman Brendan Carr suggested an investigation into ABC's The View for potential broadcast rule violations.
- Carr questioned whether The View qualifies as a 'bona fide news show', which would exempt it from equal opportunity rules for political candidates.
- His comments followed ABC's indefinite suspension of Jimmy Kimmel Live! due to remarks Kimmel made about the assassin of Charlie Kirk.
- Carr had previously criticized ABC and Disney over Kimmel's monologue, hinting at potential FCC action if conduct did not change.
- The View has faced scrutiny for its guest selection, with an analysis showing a lack of right-leaning political guests, and criticism from the Trump administration for its hosts' comments.
