FCC commissioner Brendan Carr attacks ABC's The View
FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr criticized ABC's The View, saying "When you look at the lineup of guests that have typically been on The View, I think it's an uphill climb for Disney to make the case that they're just a straight news program," in an interview with Maria Bartiromo. Carr argued The View's format and guest lineup mean it should not claim straight-news protections and urged regulatory scrutiny of ABC and Disney's broadcast status. ABC and Disney pushed back, defending The View as a long-running daytime talk show and accusing Carr of politicizing FCC oversight. The clash matters because if regulators start redefining which programs qualify as news, broadcasters could face new limits, licensing questions, and legal challenges over opinion-driven content.
"Carr's latest campaign to menace hosts of The View & destroy the independence of broadcast media may make him a household name. Because this time ABC & Disney are fighting back, exposing his blatant misconduct as he schemes to censor outlets for refusing to toe the MAGA line." — @lizdye.bsky.social
I guess #WeThePeople canceling our Disney+ subscriptions had a long lasting impact. Good!
Fundamental western values that MAGA declares are unpatriotic, treasonous and partisan: empathy fairness equality free speech cooperation knowledge education separation of church and state rule of law personal autonomy respect
If they'd stood up and and said "f^ck off" from the start, they might not have to fight twice as hard now
Good for ABC. About time someone started pushing back.
I wonder what percentage of Americans actually understand the legal framework that is at play here. No doubt it falls into the familiar 1/3-1/3-1/3 matrix. 1/3 are against Carr politically, 1/3 are in favor of Carr politically, and 1/3 actually understand that he's violating the Constitution.

To steal from the inglorious Lieutenant Aldo Raine, you don’t have to be Stonewall Jackson to know not to start a fight with Mickey Mouse.
Corporate media does things that look good for the People only when it wants to protect its profit margin, but it will sell out the People for profit, too. End corporate personhood. Overturn Citizens United.
Brendan Carr is a criminal. 18 U.S.C. § 242 (Deprivation of Rights Under Color of Law): This statute makes it a felony for a person acting under color of law to willfully deprive someone of their constitutional or legal rights.
Btw Mickey has better lawyers
Looks like a Nazi Acts like a Nazi
Carr is trying to implement policy that the Founding Fathers fought to free us from.
Look at that dudes stupid face.
1. The mouse is figuring out that the people can and will crush you just as flat as the government. 2. The stuff Carr controls isn't where the damn money is.
I’m no attorney but he appears to be a walking, talking, ongoing 1st Amendment violation.
Does FOXNews and the like understand this makes them fair game, too?
Can't stand this man. The View battle is Lib vs non Lib guests but the real question is: How many Republicans have been invited to be guests on the show and they've turned it down because they don't have the balls to sit there and answer questions?
Since the FCC is on their shit again... here's a joke for ya in honor of George Carlin. "The RFKjr cure for Covid and bone spurs." (Real, unaltered picture btw)
This guy can eat dirt.
Why do these guys have so much hate in them? Seriously, I cannot understand how a human could have so much hate. It should be a psych disorder
Another soon to be patsy for Trump..
This is a nothing man. A piece of fascist shit that is hiding from the trumpstein list.
Expose him. Hold him accountable!
I have been using the word Fascism a lot lately.
The View has been under ABC News since 2014, he can f*ck all the way off!
These Dominionists, like Brendan Carr and Russ Vought, are just so fucking awful. They really believe they are divinely ordained to wipe out the evils of secularism within American culture.
The segregationist Republican Confederate regime hates our Constitution. They believe our rights are designed to cater to their regressive, bigoted beliefs. And their Confederate Supreme Court Justices agree with this BS.
You can see it in the smugness on his face. He no longer finds it necessary to even hide his bias and corruption behind his thin veil of pseudo-diplomacy. That's the stage we are at.
"Allowing Carr to muzzle the ladies of The View would be a mistake akin to handing CBS News over to Bari Weiss. And since Trump is loyal to no one, it would only win them a temporary reprieve." By @lizdye.bsky.social in @atrupar.com's latest PN: open.substack.com/pub/aaronrup...
As Commissioner Gomez said, "You cannot buy this Administration's favor. For the right price, you can only borrow it. And the price always goes up." Our country is being run like the mafia. Encouraging that some see that and are fighting back.
America is still trying to figure out why the FCC, and Carr, are relevant.
You never submit to bullies because they'll never stop that way.
Hands down far and away the thinest skinned people EVER. And frankly its not that folks are actually lying but presenting facts about who and what these asshats are and maybe they should change THEIR behavior and then there wouldnt be bad facts to discuss.
