WASHINGTON (AP) — Disney filed a lawsuit Tuesday against the Trump Administration’s Federal Communications Commission, alleging a violation of its First Amendment rights.
The suit comes after FCC Chairman Brendan Carr recently defended the agency’s actions against ABC, saying broadcasters have a duty to “operate in the public interest” and the FCC is merely trying to restore that standard.
Carr has said the country should have a “trusted, respected news media, and we’re not there.”
