“The issue that arose here, where lots and lots of people were upset, was not a joke,” Carr said Thursday on CNBC.

“It was not making fun,”

“It was appearing to directly mislead the American public about a significant fact that probably one of the most significant political events we’ve had in a long time, for the most significant political assassination we’ve seen in a long time,”

“Our goal and our obligation here is to make sure that broadcasters are serving the public interest,” Carr said.

“And if there’s local TV stations that don’t think that running that programming does it, then they have every right under the law in their contracts to preempt it. And we’ll see how this plays out.”

“I do think that again, we are in the midst of a massive shift in dynamics in the media ecosystem for lots of reasons, again, including the permission structure that President Trump’s election has provided,” the FCC chief said.

“And I would simply say we’re not done yet with seeing the consequences of that,” he said.

Right? Did we just forget about the the actual politicians that got shot in Minnesota just a couple months ago, who's special election to replace their seat was just yesterday? Or the guy who entered Nancy Pelosi's house with a hammer to beat her to death and went for her husband? Or the shooting with Gabby Giffords? Or hell, the Evergreen High School shooting, which happened at the same time and seems to be by some kid radicalized by some extremist network, probably on the right considering how little details they've released.

None of those merit taking down Fox itself and every conservative news source and political commentator? But this merits the opposite, because Charlie Kirk was oh so important?
