"Jimmy Kimmel is no Johnny Carson," says the chair of the FCC, who apparently thinks he is now TV-Critic-In-Chief. Unfortunately, it is not unprecedented: see what the FCC did to @HowardStern. Broadcast should never have been sliced out of the First Amendment.

@jeffjarvis It's always good to see the hypocrisies exposed.

I would like to say something snarky like "these people have lost the plot," but they never had the plot, or at least never believed in it. Their only enduring principle is power.

Good Lord. Jim Cramer to Carr on CNBC: "Should the government have someone who reviews the writers before the host says something?" "No." "How would you be sure the host is saying something you think is OK?"

@jeffjarvis Easy Solution: Everything has to be sent to the FCC for approval, questions, answers, all scripted. Next step then is AI letting do it, which has to be Grok because it is trained in nazi language which is free speech.

It’s more useful to the dictator to keep the networks afraid and uncertain.
