Senator Gary Peters criticizes the FCC for potential censorship of media and threatening First Amendment rights.
Quiver AI Summary
U.S. Senator Gary Peters has publicly criticized the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for its recent actions perceived as censorship of media organizations, particularly concerning threats against ABC and Disney regarding a monologue by Jimmy Kimmel. In a letter to FCC Chairman Brendan Carr, Peters urged the commission to uphold First Amendment rights and stop penalizing broadcasters based on content.
Peters stated, “It is simply unacceptable for the FCC Chairman to threaten a media organization because he does not like the content of its programming,” asserting that such behavior contradicts the FCC's commitment to the public interest. He called for immediate clarification from the FCC on its definitions and standards regarding ideological bias and media regulation.
In their letter, Peters and colleagues demanded answers by September 25, 2025, including how the FCC defines the "public interest" standard and details regarding communication between the FCC and Disney related to Kimmel's program.
