FCC Chairman Brendan Carr said Thursday that it may be “worthwhile” to investigate whether ABC’s daytime talk show The View is violating broadcast rules, following the indefinite suspension of Jimmy Kimmel Live!
Speaking on The Scott Jennings Show, Carr questioned whether The View, often perceived as having a liberal bias, still qualifies as a “bona fide news show,” a status that matters because, under the equal opportunity rule, broadcasters must offer equal time to political candidates unless a program is deemed news.
