Trump FCC asks public to comment on whether ABC's The View is a news show

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC), under Chairman Brendan Carr, is seeking public comment on whether ABC's The View qualifies as a 'bona fide news interview program' to determine if it should be exempt from the equal-time rule. The probe, driven by President Trump's influence, aims to assess if the show should be treated as non-news programming, which would require equal airtime for opposing political candidates.
