ABC files a First Amendment lawsuit against the FCC, alleging a retaliatory campaign for disapproving of its broadcasts.Summary
ABC has filed a First Amendment lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Washington D.C. against the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), accusing the Trump administration of waging a retaliatory campaign against the network. The lawsuit claims the administration is using the FCC to seek revenge because it disapproves of what ABC broadcasts, violating the network's First Amendment rights. This follows FCC actions, including enforcement proceedings against The View and an investigation into Disney and ABC after a joke by late-night host Jimmy Kimmel about Melania Trump. ABC argues this retaliation serves as a warning to all media companies to align with the administration's views or face consequences.
