After ABC pulled Jimmy Kimmel Live! from the air under pressure from broadcasters and networks following threats from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), Republican Sen. Cynthia Lummis told Semafor: “An FCC license isn’t a right — it’s a privilege.” She added, “In normal times, under normal circumstances, I’ve always believed the First Amendment should be the ultimate right, with virtually no checks or balances. I don’t feel that way anymore.”
