Jimmy Kimmel Slams Trump Over FCC Threats to TV Networks Covering Iran War

Late-night host Jimmy Kimmel sharply criticized former President Donald Trump for threatening TV networks over their coverage of the Iran war. On his show, he mocked FCC Chair Brendan Carr as Trump’s “attack schnauzer” and rebuked claims that the media spreads hoaxes. Carr’s post on X warned broadcasters to correct course or risk losing their licenses. He echoed Trump’s label of “fake news,” a claim Kimmel dismissed as baseless. Kimmel also accused Trump of trying to silence outlets he disagrees with. He sarcastically suggested journalists should follow Jake Paul’s lead by referencing Paul’s recent interview with the former president. The remarks come amid ongoing tensions between Trump and major broadcasters, with past threats aimed at ABC affiliates over controversial monologues.
