Tell the FCC to leave ABC’s licenses alone

In April, the Federal Communications Commission ordered an early review of broadcast licenses for eight Disney-owned local ABC television stations, claiming to be investigating Disney’s DEI practices. The announcement came days after President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump feigned outrage about a joke from late-night host Jimmy Kimmel, whose show ABC airs. The FCC is chaired by Brendan Carr, a Trump super-loyalist who has made clear that he views the agency’s role as furthering Trump’s agenda.

Carr is once again manufacturing bogus pretexts to harass and jawbone licensees that air content his boss doesn’t like. Join us in telling the FCC to back off.
