FCC Democratic commissioner warns Disney of government censorship campaign
Anna Gomez, the sole Democrat on the FCC, sent a letter to Disney's CEO warning that the company faces a coordinated censorship campaign orchestrated by the Trump administration through the FCC. Gomez cited multiple regulatory actions including investigations into The View's compliance with equal time rules and the network's debate coverage, as well as an order to review licenses for Disney's ABC stations. The letter characterizes these actions as weaponization of FCC authority to pressure independent media.
