Disney and ABC Sue FCC Over Broadcast License Threats

Original version ·

The Mouse is taking the feds to court over free speech, because apparently daytime TV banter is now a national regulatory emergency.

Disney and ABC just dragged the FCC to court, claiming the Trump administration is steamrolling right over the First Amendment.

The issue boils down to federal regulators challenging ABC's broadcast licenses and launching an investigation into the daytime talk show The View.

Threatening to pull actual television broadcast licenses over heated morning talk show banter is certainly one way to test constitutional limits in court.
