A heated Senate hearing explodes as FCC Chairman Brendan Carr deflects responsibility over the temporary removal of Jimmy Kimmel Live! — while Sen. Ted Cruz and other lawmakers clash over free speech, media pressure, and government overreach. Carr insists broadcasters like Disney, Nexstar, and Sinclair acted on their own, despite prior warnings that appeared to threaten FCC action. <br /> <br />The confrontation raises serious questions about censorship, the FCC’s independence, and whether political pressure is being used to silence late-night comedy and liberal voices. As Cruz, Democrats, and fellow commissioners weigh in, critics warn the FCC may be crossing a dangerous line between regulation and retaliation. <br /> <br />#TedCruz #BrendanCarr #JimmyKimmel #FCCHearing #MediaCensorship #FreeSpeech #FCCControversy #TedCruzVsFCC #JimmyKimmelLive #PoliticalSpeech #BroadcastLicenses #DisneyABC #LateNightTV #GovernmentOverreach #BreakingNews #SenateHearing #MediaFreedom #FirstAmendment<br /><br />~HT.318~ED.102~
