FCC Chair Probes Networks, Skips Fox: A Free Speech Concern?

0:00It's April 28th. I'm Cory with the story, and this is Entertainment and celebrity news today, your AI-powered Entertainment Report. The Federal Communications Commission chair, Brendan Carr, has launched formal probes into every major broadcast network across the country, but notably skipped Fox News. This move comes amid accusations that it's aimed at outlets critical of President Donald Trump, with Fox being the one pro-Trump exception owned by, Rupert Murdoch. The late-night host Jimmy Kimmel fired back hard, slamming Carr as a tool, trying to silence comedians and critics who roast the president. Free speech advocates are calling it a blatant power play, worrying it chills comedy and commentary on airwaves that don't tow the line. As these investigations drag on, broadcasters are bracing for fines, or worse, raising big questions about who's really regulating the air.
