Disney’s ABC sued the Federal Communications Commission, alleging its efforts to challenge the network’s broadcast licenses and regulate “The View” are illegal and aimed at quashing speech the Trump administration finds objectionable. The dispute follows a probe launched last year by FCC Chairman Brendan Carr into Disney’s diversity for potential unlawful discrimination.
