FCC Targets ABC's View License

ABC is under fire from the FCC over early license reviews and alleged bias in booking guests on “The View,” with Disney defending its programming as newsworthy—not politically slanted. The FCC, probing Disney’s diversity policies, also questions whether “The View” should retain its special exemption from equal-time rules for political guests—a privilege granted in 2002. ABC counters with ads featuring Barbara Walters and urges viewers to flood the FCC with comments, while also promoting local news stations. This comes after ABC settled a $15 million lawsuit with Trump in December 2024, stirring controversy among free speech advocates.
