GoKawiilFCC asks court to dismiss Disney's lawsuit over ABC license review
The FCC filed a motion to dismiss Disney's lawsuit, defending its decision to launch an early review of the broadcast licenses held by ABC's eight owned stations. The agency argues the review concerns only alleged discrimination tied to Disney's diversity, equity, and inclusion policies, not Chairman Brendan Carr's public threats over Jimmy Kimmel jokes or The View's political content. Separately, two watchdog groups and individual ABC viewers are seeking to intervene in the case, fearing Disney could strike a settlement with the FCC that doesn't serve the public interest, a motion Disney itself opposes.
