Kimmel vs FCC in Election Season | Dayton News

Jimmy Kimmel’s explosive interview with Texas Senate candidate James Talarico won’t air on TV—thanks to a threat from President Trump’s FCC, which claims ABC is violating public interest standards. Kimmel, who’s interviewed political heavyweights for years without issue, now shares the full clip on YouTube, calling it the only viable platform left in today’s media climate—and urging everyone to vote before November. Meanwhile, ABC and Disney are suing the FCC over its controversial early review of local station licenses, arguing it violates First Amendment rights. The FCC counters that it’s investigating Disney’s hiring practices, while also questioning whether ABC truly serves the public good. This escalating battle underscores how regulatory power can silence or reshape media during critical election moments—with stakes too high to ignore.
