Center for American Rights Urges FCC to Reject ABC's 'The View' Exemption Claim in June 22 Filing

Summary
A June 22 filing asked the FCC to deny ABC’s claim that “The View” qualifies for the equal-time rule’s “bona fide news interview” exemption.
Center for American Rights said ABC violated federal law by treating the daytime talk show as news and by failing to make required political-file disclosures.
Daniel Suhr, the group’s president, argued “The View is neither bona fide nor news” and urged the agency to sanction ABC affiliate KTRK in Houston.
The challenge targets how broadcasters classify politically relevant programming under FCC equal-time rules, potentially widening scrutiny beyond a single station.
