FCC launching probe into ABC’s ‘The View’ amid crackdown on equal time for candidates
‘Fake News is not getting a free pass anymore,’ an FCC source told Fox News Digital
FIRST ON FOX — The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is launching an investigation into ABC’s “The View” amid the agency’s crackdown on equal time for political candidates, Fox News Digital has learned.
Last month, the FCC announced it will require the broadcast networks to adhere to the “statutory equal opportunities requirement,” citing the Communications Act of 1934, “including their airing of late-night and daytime talk shows.”
A source at the FCC told Fox News Digital that Monday’s “View” appearance by Texas Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico triggered the probe.
Talarico was among the first political candidates to appear on “The View” since the FCC announced its crackdown.
