FCC to Review Disney's Broadcast Licenses Following Melania Trump's Criticism of Jimmy Kimmel
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is set to review Disney's broadcast licenses for ABC, following a controversial joke made by late-night host Jimmy Kimmel. The joke, which referenced First Lady Melania Trump, was made shortly before a shooting at the White House Correspondents' Dinner. Kimmel's comment, which he stated was about President Trump's age, has led to calls from the president for Kimmel's firing. The FCC's review is considered unprecedented and comes amid ongoing scrutiny of Disney's diversity, equity, and inclusion practices. The review could potentially affect eight licenses, as reported by CNN. This development follows previous tensions between Kimmel and the Trump administration, during which Disney briefly removed Kimmel from the air over comments about conservative activist Charlie Kirk.
