From your article:

"In an interview with right-wing podcaster Benny Johnson on Wednesday,
Carr warned that there are "actions we can take on licensed
broadcasters" that dared to air Kimmel's show, including "fines or
license revocations." He added that "we can do this the easy way or
the hard way." Either "these companies can find ways to change conduct
and take action, frankly, on Kimmel," he said, "or there's going to be
additional work for the FCC ahead.""

This was stated after the outrage had already caused the pulling of
Kimmel so there was no "force" involved.  Carr's statement was correct
in regards to the responsiblities of media stations.

Duh...

Have you condemned the murder of Charlie Kirk?
