FCC to review public comments in equal time rule investigation of ABC's 'The View'
By
Ted Johnson
Summary
The FCC is investigating ABC's talk show "The View" over potential violations of the equal time rule, specifically whether the show qualifies as a "bona fide" news program. After ABC launched an ad campaign pushing back against the crackdown, public comments surged from 2,500 to over 50,000. FCC Chairman Brendan Carr stated the agency will weigh the public input by looking at "significant arguments" rather than simply counting comments.
