ABC’s decision to “indefinitely” suspend comedian Jimmy Kimmel has alarmed free speech advocates — but apparently not the self-described “chief advocate of broadcasters in our nation’s capital,” the National Association of Broadcasters.
At least not publicly.
As of Friday morning, the National Association of Broadcasters had not posted a statement on ABC’s decision to pull Kimmel off the air just hours after Federal Communications Commission Chair Brendan Carr threatened to pull the network’s license. A National Association of Broadcasters spokesperson did not respond to NOTUS’ requests for comment on the fallout.
