ABC fights FCC’s scrutiny of The View as potential First Amendment overreach
TL;DR Summary
ABC has filed a petition with the FCC arguing that scrutinizing whether The View qualifies as a bona fide news program and the threat of applying the equal-time rule would chill First Amendment speech. The move comes amid ongoing disputes with Disney-ABC and follows an FCC action tied to a Feb. 2 appearance by a Texas candidate on The View, with supporters framing the challenge as a defense of free expression.
