ABC Sues FCC Over Speech Rights | Raleigh News

ABC is suing the FCC, calling its demand for early license reviews an “existential threat” to free speech and accusing the administration of targeting the network for airing critical content. The lawsuit, joined by Disney and eight local stations, claims the FCC’s actions—prompted by a late-night joke and tied to diversity practices—are politically motivated censorship. ABC also challenges the FCC’s attempt to apply equal-time rules to “The View,” arguing the agency previously ruled in their favor. Democrat FCC commissioner Anna Gomez backs ABC, labeling the push as a “campaign of censorship,” while Chairman Brendan Carr defends the FCC’s public interest mandate, urging broadcasters to uphold their responsibility to serve the public.
