ABC fights back against FCC regulators in dispute over ‘The View’ and equal time rules
ABC says more than 76,000 commenters support The View’s editorial independence as the FCC weighs whether the show must follow equal-time rules.

- ABC argues that the FCC's actions unfairly target 'The View' due to political bias and that regulating editorial decisions infringes on First Amendment rights.
- Since the FCC probe began, 'The View' has reduced political guests in competitive races, with no politicians appearing after February's contested primary.
