    After Jimmy Kimmel’s Suspension, FCC Chair Takes Aim at The View

    The View hosts notably did not discuss Kimmel’s suspension on Thursday and had previously condemned the killing of Kirk and political violence more broadly.

    Earlier this year, the White House threatened that The View was next in line to be cancelled after CBS’s The Late Show With Stephen Colbert, after The View co-host Joy Behar criticized Trump for accusing former President Barack Obama of treason. Behar referenced the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection on the U.S. Capitol and suggested that Trump was jealous of Obama. At the time, the panelists also did not mention the White House’s threat against the show.

    What is the ‘equal time’ rule?

    The equal time or equal opportunity rule is a federal rule under the Communications Act of 1934 that requires broadcasters to give political candidates equal time or opportunity as each other. For example, radio or television stations that sell air time to one candidate must offer to sell the same amount of time to every other candidate running for that office.
