Investigate government censorship of Jimmy Kimmel Live!
To: Rep. Larsen
From: A verified voter in Clinton, WA
September 25, 2025
I am writing to express concern regarding the recent temporary suspension and reinstatement of Jimmy Kimmel Live! and the subsequent actions by FCC Chair Brendan Carr. The program’s brief removal from broadcast networks, following Chair Carr’s threat to television stations, raises questions about potential undue influence on free speech, especially given pending matters before the FCC involving Disney, Nexstar, and Sinclair.
To ensure transparency and safeguard freedom of expression, I urge you to support a thorough review of these events. Consideration should be given to whether formal inquiry, including potential subpoenas for Chair Carr and the CEOs of Nexstar and Sinclair, is warranted.
Thank you for your attention to this vital matter.
