Write Support Democratic leaders in the U.S. House on Thursday who called on the chair of the Federal Communications Commission to resign after he pressured Walt Disney ABC affiliates to stop airing "Jimmy Kimmel Live" after the late-night show host made comments about Charlie Kirk's assassination. House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries and other leaders said Carr has "disgraced the office he holds by bullying ABC, the employer of Jimmy Kimmel, and forcing the company to bend the knee to the Trump administration." In March, congressional Democrats sought documents from Carr as part of a probe into what they called "sham" investigations into media outlets including CBS, Comcast-owned NBC and ABC to try to intimidate the news media. Support house democrats in demanding Carrs resignation, this is nothing less than an attack on the 1st amendment. *cited from Reuters 9/18/25
