Disney accuses Trump's FCC of attempting to 'suppress speech' with license renewal investigation
Disney and ABC accused the Trump administration's Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of attempting to suppress speech through an early license renewal order for WABC-TV in New York. The companies claimed the order was unconstitutional and aimed to stifle editorial voices, while FCC Chairman Brendan Carr defended it as part of an investigation into Disney's diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) practices.
