ABC has formally challenged the FCC's investigation into 'The View,' arguing that the agency's scrutiny of the show's political coverage threatens editorial independence. The conflict stems from FCC Chair Brendan Carr's reexamination of the program's 'bona fide' news classification following specific interviews.
Background
The FCC regulates interstate and international communications by radio, television, wire, satellite, and cable in the US. Recent debates have focused on how legacy broadcast standards apply to modern political discourse and media classification.
