Federal Communications Commission Chairman Brendan Carr said Thursday he believes it would be "worthwhile" to investigate whether ABC’s daytime talk show " The View " is violating broadcast rules in the wake of Jimmy Kimmel’s suspension.
Carr argued on " The Scott Jennings Show " that the left-leaning talk show could be violating the commission's "equal time" rule, which requires broadcasters to provide equal opportunity to all political candidates except for a "bona fide news show."
"Potentially, I would assume you can make the argument that ‘The View’ is a bona fide news show, but I'm not so sure about that," Carr said. "And I think it's worthwhile to have the FCC look into whether ‘The View’ and some of these other programs that you have still qualify as bona fide news program
