You have to be pretty credulous to look at the below facts and conclude federal pressure had little to do with last night's Kimmel decision: 1) FCC Chair Brendan Carr said of ABC, "We can do this the easy way or the hard way." 2) Trump said ABC should be fined or lose its licenses for "their unfair coverage." 3) Trump accuses ABC of "hate speech," suggests DOJ investigation. 4) ABC execs reportedly "pissing themselves" over fear of government retaliation. 5) Nexstar, which carries ABC programming and announced it wouldn't carry Kimmel's show, is currently awaiting FCC approval for a major acquisition, and that acquisition requires an exception to existing FCC rules.
