ABC Alleges FCC License Review is 'Retaliation' for Network's Trump Coverage

Summary

ABC is accusing the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of retaliating against the network for its coverage of Donald Trump by subjecting its eight local stations to an expedited license renewal process. Lawyers for the Disney-owned network argue this action signals to other media companies that they must accommodate the administration's views or face consequences, threatening media freedom.
