President Donald Trump's contentious relationship with U.S. news organizations has led to a host of legal battles and disputes, the latest of which came with ABC's suspension and — days later — return of the “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” show.
Trump had celebrated the suspension of Kimmel , a veteran late-night comic and frequent critic of the president and his policies, calling it “great news for America.”
Kimmel was pulled last week after a monologue included a reference to the fatal shooting of conservative activist Charlie Kirk , and compared Trump’s grief to “how a 4-year-old mourns a goldfish.”
FCC Chairman Brendan Carr, a Trump appointee, said his agency had a strong case for holding Kimmel, ABC and its parent company Walt Disney Co., accountable for spreading misinformation. Nexstar
