Carr bluntly warned broadcasters will lose their licenses if they don’t “function within the public curiosity” … including the media has “earned itself the label of faux information.”
Kimmel fired again, saying the media by no means earned that label … quite, “the First Fatso made that up and also you ran with it.”
Jimmy went on to say Trump is seeking to yank the licenses of any retailers he does not like … earlier than sarcastically saluting the president and joking that information orgs and speak present hosts ought to take cues from “actual journalists” like Jake Paul — who sat down for an interview with Trump final week.
