Glenn Beck Surprisingly Defends ‘The View’ in War With Trump
Beck said clips of the ABC talk show look like news and argued it should keep its equal-time rule exemption, according to his podcast.
- On Monday, conservative political commentator Glenn Beck discussed the Federal Communications Commission investigation into whether The View qualifies as a news program, a classification that determines if ABC must adhere to equal time political rules.
- The inquiry stems from a dispute involving Donald Trump and FCC Chairman Brendan Carr, who challenged the network's claim that the program functions as news rather than entertainment.
- Drawing on 49 years of experience in FCC-regulated radio, Beck argued that ABC may be right to keep its exemption, noting the program appears to be a news show based on clips he has seen.
- Beck suggested the FCC should determine if the show is primarily entertainment, stating "If it is 60% or more entertainment, ABC should lose this battle," while questioning why Jimmy Kimmel also receives news status.
- Whether the agency classifies the program as news remains pivotal for the network, as the designation determines legal obligations regarding political coverage and equal time requirements for candidates.
