ABC accuses FCC of First Amendment violation over political coverage probe

ABC filed a petition against the FCC, accusing it of violating First Amendment rights by probing the network's political coverage on "The View." The FCC's investigation focuses on whether the show gave equal airtime to political candidates, challenging ABC's claim that the program qualifies for a news interview exemption. This legal battle highlights tensions between broadcasters and the FCC under the Trump administration, which has pressured networks critical of it. The outcome could impact how political content is regulated on broadcast TV.
