ABC Lashes Out at Trump FCC in Blistering Filing Accusing Them of Violating First Amendment
ABC lashed out at President Donald Trump’s Federal Communications Commission (FCC) over what they call a First Amendment violation against the popular daytime talk show The View.
Earlier this year, Trump’s Brendan Carr-led FCC opened an “enforcement proceeding” against The View over his agency’s new guidelines on “equal time” rules. Carr and Trump have been aggressive about punishing and pressuring media outlets with which they disapprove.
In a new 52-page filing to the FCC, ABC lawyers objected strongly to the action and repeatedly accused the Trump administration of attempting to violate free speech rights.
The filing opens “The Commission’s order to file this Petition for Declaratory Ruling is unprecedented, beyond the Commission’s authority, and counterproductive to the Commission’s stated goal of encouraging free speech and open political discussion. The Commission’s actions threaten to upend decades of settled law and practice and chill critical protected speech, both with respect to The View and more broadly.”

You know why Carr is bald? From sticking his head up his ass so often.
